Tests

Environment

If this is being run independently of an infrastructure then you should provide the environment variable NODE_ENV to be test.

Set up

In the test/config/settings.json file, you should have the following fields:

{
    "baseURL": "http://localhost:3000/",
    "apiPrefix": "api/v2/",
    "users": {
        "admin": {
            "username": "<USER>",
            "password": "<PWD>",
            "login": "api/v2/Users/login"

        },
        "user": {
            "username": "<USER>",
            "password": "<PWD>",
            "login":"auth/msad"
        },
    },
}

Adding tests

This can be done one of two ways:

Simple Tests

For simple tests, you can add it to the test/config/tests.json file. Each entry should have the following syntax:

{
    "method": "GET",
    "route": "Datasets?filter=%7B%22limit%22%3A10%7D",
    "expect": 200,
    "authenticate": "admin"
}

Authenticate can be user or admin, depending on the type of account you have specified.

If you include a body property, then that will be sent with the request.

If you include a response array, then the string content should be valid JS. Note that this uses the unsafe eval method so be careful!

Writing Tests

If you have a chain of tests, or just tests that might be more complex, then you can write them in the test folder. See any js file in there for examples.
