Unit testing setup

That makes sense, thanks. I got my code working with a reference like you mentioned. I’m curious though, as to how this is working - strapi.plugins["users-permissions"].services.user.add in this example I found:

github.com

qunabu/strapi-unit-test-example/blob/4aa1512a831abae4443cb4dee2969133b0ab5072/tests/user/index.js#L15

    
      
            username: "tester",
            email: "tester@strapi.com",
            provider: "local",
            password: "1234abc",
            confirmed: true,
            blocked: null,
          };
          
          
it("should login user and return jwt token", async (done) => {
            /** Creates a new user an push to database */
            await strapi.plugins["users-permissions"].services.user.add({
              ...mockUserData,
            });
          
          
  await request(strapi.server) // app server is and instance of Class: http.Server
              .post("/auth/local")
              .set("accept", "application/json")
              .set("Content-Type", "application/json")
              .send({
                identifier: mockUserData.email,
                password: mockUserData.password,

That repo is from the same guy who authored the unit testing guide I believe. His setup for tests is the same as mine, but if no app is launched, then we shouldn’t be able to access strapi.plugins either right?
