could not run test sequentially

[styrus]

I am facing problem in running tests which are like

how can I handle this so that it runs sequentially.
**error is for token is undefined.** as it does not find token first.

Frisby tests cannot be run sequentially, and your test suite should never depend on the order of tests that are run.

If there is setup you need to do for each successive test in your suite, you have a few options. You can use frisby.use(withTokenAuth).get(...).expect(...) in each test you need it in. Your withTokenAuth function might look like this:

// Define your helper function
function withTokenAuth(spec) {
  const token = '123abc';

  return spec.setup({
    request: {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' +token,
        'header':'value'
      }
    }
  });
}


it('make call USING GLOBAL SETUP' , function() {
    console.log('########### In IT  call ###########')
   return frisby
    .use(withTokenAuth) // USE the `withTokenAuth` function here in your test (and in every test you need it in)
    .post('url/call', 
    {
      // json body
    })
    .expect('status', 200);
  });

You can also just use the setup method directly in each test as well.

• It looks like you haven't set token in first it block.
• -i option is enabled in case of multiple test files in jest.

@vlucas can you please provide your input on this.
thanks in advance

HTTP status 415 has wrong Content-Type.
What is Content-Type of request set to ?
Have you changed Content-Type in globalSetup ?

[styrus]

@vlucas when I am passing token as the hard coded value and calling postCall (url,body) with .inspectRequestHeaders() it works and shows me correct headers getting passed

[H1Gdev]

Is there issues with getToken() ?

[styrus]

@vlucas can you please provide you thought on this.
thanks in advance

[styrus]

@H1Gdev if you check my comment above getToken() works fine and returns me token.

[vlucas]

Can you dump the request headers so we can see what is actually being sent? 415 is a response from your server, and we cannot debug that or provide support for it.

Also:

return spec.setup({
    request: {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' +token,
        'header':'value' // Did you remember to delete this line? This was just an example...
      }
    }
  });

[H1Gdev]

When I call these method independently it works fine.

Please paste each code.

[vlucas]

We cannot debug your server response for you. This is not a free support forum.

I am closing this issue for now.

You can re-open it If you can give us code for both server and client in an isolated and reproducible way that proves the issue with the Frisby library itself, then we can help with a fix. Otherwise, we cannot spend any more time on this issue.

[H1Gdev]

I can't understand this code:confused:
At the very least, make code that completes frisby.
(For example, list tests that pass and fail.)

@styrus

getToken(url) [this method returns token from body reponse.]

#562 (comment)

getToken(url) returns frisby (that is, Promise).

I don't know how to give advice because the code is incomplete like this...
So if you want to reopen it, write some code that works correctly.

[vlucas]

We need both the client and server code to help you. We need an independent code repository that we can clone and run that has both the server and frisby tests for it.

One test that shows where it is working.
One test that shows where it is not.

You have all the code and the full context so it might be clear to you, but it is not clear at all to us. We need something isolated and reproducible in order to help you.

[H1Gdev]

It's no good returning Promise.
If you use async and await like below, you will get the expected behavior.

async function getToken(URL) {
   return frisby
    .setup
        ({
            request:
                {
                    headers: 
                        {
                            'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Buffer.from("usrname:pwd").toString('base64'),
                            'ouc_header':'admin',
                            'Content-Type': 'application/scim+json'
                        }
                }
    })
    .get(apiURL)
    .inspectResponse()
    .inspectRequestHeaders()
    .expect('status', 200)
    .then(res => {
        var token=res._token; // Can you really get it with this ???
        console.log(token);
        return token;
    });
}

const instance_token= await getToken(url);

But first, it's better to understand Promise of JavaScript.
