Is there a way to skip asserting the request body?

[jfhbrook]

I was working on the new jitsu tests (nock is fabulous for this btw), and I came across an interesting situation when trying to mock snapshot uploads here:

https://github.com/nodejitsu/jitsu/blob/flatiron-apps-tests/test/commands/apps-test.js#L99

What happens here is that jitsu tries to post a snapshot using content-type chunked, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to specify a request body in such a way that nock is cool with it.

You can see some of the errors I was getting here:

The easiest thing for me would be to tell nock to accept any request body, but if I can figure out how to make it handle a chunked body (copy-pasting the string-encoded .tgz didn't help) I'd be happy with that as well.

Any ideas?

I ended up doing a match to * and using the filteringRequestBody function to automatically convert everything to *

var scope = nock('http://api.myservice.com')
  .filteringRequestBody(function(path) {
    return '*';
  })
  .post('/some_uri', '*')
  .reply(200, 'OK')

That's awesome.

@jesusabdullah sorry, haven't been getting any emails on nock issues since I moved it to flatiron, even though I'm on the team :/

@jesusabdullah does this work for you or you think we should make it easier somehow?

[jfhbrook]

@pgte Actually that trick worked just fine! It might be nice to have it in the readme as a PROTIP or something but otherwise, yeah, I'm good.

@jesusabdullah good advise, thanks, updated README.
