Where's the test suite being assembled?

...but a test suite is now being assembled to vet them. - http://jsonapi.org/implementations/

Please feel free to open issues over @ endpoints for this!

There's tests here as well.

@tkellen @0x8890 Will https://github.com/endpoints/endpoints be the canonical local for tests?

That should be documented as part of json-api. Having a model for interop testing is as important – arguably more important – than the spec.

[tkellen]

We're currently developing the integration suite against endpoints using https://github.com/json-api/json-api/blob/gh-pages/normative-statements.json. Once this is complete, we'll move it out to json-api and figure out how we can generalize it far enough to be pointed at any API. One hitch is that implementors will need to use http://github.com/endpoints/fantasy-database for their API. We don't support hypermedia quite well enough for the integration suite to be entirely generic.

@tkellen Great news.

I don't mind having to run tests with nodejs against my own impl.

[kevmoo]

@tkellen Could we make this bug – or another – a tracking issue for tests? Call it an "enhancement request".

[gr0uch]

It would not be too difficult to generalize testing, the implementation would just need to be aware of what types will be used for testing.

This is how I implemented tests:

1. Create all resources by posting to the API.
2. Run test.
3. Delete all resources by making delete requests. Repeat.

Note: not all tests need to run/pass, depending on the implementation.
