587d824f367417b2b2512c5a | Run Functional Tests on an API Response using Chai-HTTP III - PUT method | 2 | 301590 | run-functional-tests-on-an-api-response-using-chai-http-iii---put-method |
--description--
As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub.
In the next example we'll see how to send data in a request payload (body). We are going to test a PUT request. The '/travellers'
endpoint accepts a JSON object taking the structure:
{
"surname": [last name of a traveller of the past]
}
The route responds with :
{
"name": [first name], "surname": [last name], "dates": [birth - death years]
}
See the server code for more details.
--instructions--
Within tests/2_functional-tests.js
, alter the 'send {surname: "Colombo"}'
test (// #3
):
Send the following JSON response as a payload:
{
"surname": "Colombo"
}
Check for the following, within the request.end
callback:
status
type
body.name
body.surname
Follow the assertion order above - we rely on it. Be sure to remove assert.fail()
, once complete.
--hints--
All tests should pass.
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=2').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.state, 'passed');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
You should test for 'res.status' to be 200.
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=2').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'equal');
assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[0], 'res.status');
assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[1], '200');
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
You should test for 'res.type' to be 'application/json'.
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=2').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'equal');
assert.equal(data.assertions[1].args[0], 'res.type');
assert.match(data.assertions[1].args[1], /('|")application\/json\1/);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
You should test for 'res.body.name' to be 'Cristoforo'.
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=2').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.assertions[2].method, 'equal');
assert.equal(data.assertions[2].args[0], 'res.body.name');
assert.match(data.assertions[2].args[1], /('|")Cristoforo\1/);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
You should test for 'res.body.surname' to be 'Colombo'.
(getUserInput) =>
$.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=2').then(
(data) => {
assert.equal(data.assertions[3].method, 'equal');
assert.equal(data.assertions[3].args[0], 'res.body.surname');
assert.match(data.assertions[3].args[1], /('|")Colombo\1/);
},
(xhr) => {
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
}
);
