# Testing
|
|
|
|
Strapi's test suite is written using [mocha](https://mochajs.org/) and although
|
|
Strapi doesn't impose any testing framework for your apps, in this example we
|
|
will setup tests using the mocha framework.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Before writing tests, you should setup a basic directory structure, like this:
|
|
```
|
|
./strapiApp
|
|
├── api/
|
|
├── ...
|
|
├── test/
|
|
│ ├── integration/
|
|
│ │ ├── controllers/
|
|
│ │ │ └── my_endpoint.test.js
|
|
│ │ ├── models/
|
|
│ │ │ └── my_model.test.js
|
|
│ │ └── ...
|
|
| ├── ...
|
|
│ ├── bootstrap.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Boostrap
|
|
|
|
We are going to setup a `bootstrap.js` with `before` and `after` hooks to
|
|
perform any actions before and after our tests.
|
|
In this example, the app server is started before running any tests an stop
|
|
the server after tests are completed.
|
|
|
|
*./test/bootstrap.js*
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const strapi = require('strapi');
|
|
|
|
before(function (done) {
|
|
strapi.start({}, function(err) {
|
|
if (err) {
|
|
return done(err);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
done(err, strapi);
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
after(function (done) {
|
|
strapi.stop(done());
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Writing tests
|
|
|
|
Once you have setup your directory structure, you can start writing your tests.
|
|
In this example we use [co-supertest](https://github.com/avbel/co-supertest),
|
|
a `co` and `Supertest` integration library.
|
|
[Supertest](https://github.com/visionmedia/supertest) provides several useful
|
|
methods for testing HTTP requests.
|
|
If you want to test an api endpoint, you can do it like this:
|
|
|
|
*./test/integration/controllers/my_endpoint.js*
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const request = require('co-supertest');
|
|
|
|
describe('MyEndpoint Controller Integration', function() {
|
|
describe('GET /my_endpoint', function() {
|
|
it('should return 200 status code', function *() {
|
|
yield request(strapi.config.url)
|
|
.get('/my_endpoint')
|
|
.expect(200)
|
|
.expect('Content-Type', /json/)
|
|
.end();
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
In order to run tests you can use `npm test`. In your `package.json`, in the
|
|
`scripts` section, add this:
|
|
|
|
*./package.json*
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"test": "mocha --require co-mocha test/bootstrap.js test/**/*.test.js"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remember to run `test/bootstrap.js` before any other tests and, if you want,
|
|
use the `--require` option to pass any required dependencies you need available
|
|
in your tests.
