SIASAR API test suite

Ignacio Segura (LinkedIn)

While the full SIASAR project, including these tests, is published as open source on GitLab (SIASAR on GitLab), we are publishing here a short, simplified version of our testing suite for educational purposes.

If you want to know more, I wrote an article on the subject on Medium: Facebook Jest, the JS testing tool for people who hate writing tests

INSTALL:

npm install

RUN:

npm run test-prod -> run tests against Staging server
npm run test-dev -> run tests against Dev server
npm run test-local -> run tests against Local

REQUIRES:

NodeJS (https://nodejs.org/en/) > 8.3.0

Mac users are recommended to use Homebrew (https://brew.sh/) to Install NodeJS instead:

brew install node

WRITING TESTS

Just use the provided examples in testfolder for a starting point. Jest has a auto-discovery mechanism, so it will take any file named *.test.js in any folder and launch it.

Jest launches tests in parallel, every test inside their own clean environment. No information is shared between tests. If you need some global variable to be available across all tests, you can use __GLOBAL__, as specified in package.json.
