To perform and document our API tests, we install the dependencies:
You can follow the tutorial of the Medium, but basically we installed them as follows:
Run the command:
yarn add jest supertest. Or if you prefer npm:npm install jest supertest
- Make a copy of the file
.env.samplefrom the root of the project, and rename this copy to.env.test. - Then configure the file according to your needs and preferences.
- Once configured, we need to create the database and enter its records for constraints. To do this, run the command:
yarn pre-test. - With the bank created and the records already entered, we can already run the tests with the:
yarn test.
Remember:
We set in package.json that with each run of the yarn test he recreated the test database by running the yarn pre-test before the test command. This is important because tests follow a pace already set to test all requests.
If you want to change this option, modify the "test" script of package.json
