Writing tests

[makkoli]

We need tests to be written for server and client side.

There are example tests in server/models/__tests__ and client/reducers/__tests__

Anyone working on this right now?? Interested in writing test cases by myself

[makkoli]

Writing tests is quite a bit of work. Multiple people can do this since a lot of tests need to be written.

@makkoli : how do we run the tests?

[makkoli]

@paulywill

npm run test

All our scripts are in the package.json file.

@makkoli what's the difference between .assert and .equal?

ie.

        assert.equal(player.address.country,
					playerData.address.country,
					'has address country');
	assert.assert(player.leagueId,
					playerData.leagueId,
					'has leagues');

@paulywill In tape, our testing suite, .assert() is an alias for .ok(), which will coerce a value to see if it's truthy, so you don't pass in a second value to compare against since it just checks if it coerces to true.

The .equal() will check if the actual value returned === expected value you passed in. In this instance, the expected value data type you pass in can be a number, string, boolean, etc.
