A collection of Vows macros for easy HTTP server testing.
Works with Node.js v0.2.5 and later.
npm i pact
// Pact works with http.Server instances.
// This includes express.Server, connect.Server, etc.
// This method returns a new express.Server:
var createServer = require("../lib/app").createServer;
require("vows").describe("HTTP Server").addBatch({
"A server in development" : {
// Start a server for testing with httpify
// Give it a new http.Server
topic : httpify(createServer()),
"when /foo is requested" : {
topic : request(), // knows the URL from context name
"should fail" : code(400) // check status code
}
"when /foo?bar=baz is requested" : {
topic : request(),
"should succeed" : code(200),
"should return response time header" : function (topic) {
// header names are lowercased for easy testing
assert.include(topic.headers, "x-response-time");
},
"should be correct size" : function (topic) {
// response is available as topic.body
assert.equal(topic.body.length, 11);
}
},
"when making a bogus request" : {
// you can always specify your own URL
// POST requests work as well
topic : request({
url : "/bogus",
method : "POST",
body : "quux=0"
}),
"should fail" : code(404)
}
},
"A server in production" : {
topic : function () {
// Example: wrap httpify for testing
// with a new environment
var oldEnv = process.env.NODE_ENV;
process.env.NODE_ENV = "production";
var server = app.createServer();
httpify(server).apply(this);
process.env.NODE_ENV = oldEnv;
},
"when / is requested" : {
topic : request(),
"should fail" : code(404)
}
}
}).export(module);
Requires Vows.
