Package nog-test

The package nog-test provides testing infrastructure.

Configuring the test selection

During startup, nog-test configures Mocha by default to exclude all tagged test. The tag format is _[A-Z]+_ anywhere in a test name.

To include tests, set Meteor.settings.public.tests.mocha to an object {"grep": String, "invert": Boolean} to specify a test filter. Use {"grep": ".*"} to include all tests.

NogTest.testingMethods(methods) (anywhere)

testingMethods(methods) calls Meteor.methods(methods). It ignores errors, so that methods can be defined within tests that may be called repeatedly. Example:

describe 'some test', ->
  savedAccess = null
  testingMethods
    'testing/nog-auth/disableAccessCheck': ->
      if Meteor.isServer
        savedAccess = NogAuth.access
        NogAuth.configure {access: {check: ->}}
    'testing/nog-auth/restoreAccessCheck': ->
      if Meteor.isServer
        NogAuth.configure {access: savedAccess}

  before((next) -> Meteor.call 'testing/nog-auth/disableAccessCheck', next)
  after((next) -> Meteor.call 'testing/nog-auth/restoreAccessCheck', next)

  it.client 'a test that runs without access control', (next) ->

NogTest.pause(duration_ms, fn) (anywhere)

pause() is setTimeout with a human-friendly argument order. Example:

describe 'some context', ->
  it 'a test', ->
    someWork()
    pause 1000, ->
      expect(...)
