custom expectations

[tadeuszwojcik]

Hi,
I was wondering, how bad it would be if supertest would export lib/Test to allow add custom (application specific) expectations?
My use case is that I want to test expressjs routes and need to test in many places thinks like 'unauthorized', 'unauthenticated', 'owneronly' conditions for many urls, so currently I do:

  request(app)
      .get('/test/threads/34567/edit')
      .expect(500)
      .expect(/Unauthenticated/)
      .end(done);

but would prefer something like:

  request(app)
      .get('/test/threads/34567/edit')
      .expectUnauthenticatedError()
      .end(done);

Pros of that approach is that I have to test such things for many urls, so test code would be more readable and in case I'd change middleware Error I wouldn't have to replace it as well in 'x' places in tests.

Cheers,
Tadek

you can augment the Test.prototype if you want

but isn't Test module 'internal' in supertest?

nope it's exported

nvm I lied, it's not exported right now but we can do that
