Test fails with .send and .attach - aka how do I send a token and upload an image/file in a test?

[lovelydreamer]

It's killing me already. What am I doing wrong, or is this a legit bug?

My test w/out a token passes, and with fails. More precise details below.

(Nice photo, can't even believe you can be a nodejs developer.)
Seems you can not mix JSON body .send({}) with multipart form-data body .attach(), in that case the JSON will be ignored by supertest. Instead you can stick with multipart form-data and try this:

          .set('Accept', 'application.json')
          .field('token', config.token)
          .field('vehicle_vin', "randomVIN")
          .attach('file', '/Users/moi/Desktop/unit_test_extravaganza/hardwork.jpg')

@rafis It's been three years, but what gives you the right to say something like that? @lovelydreamer Can be just as good a developer as anyone can.

@rafis didn't know cats could be developers either 🙄
