V4 - Unit Testing

Updating my findings.

In my project I have several permissions.

Just with the Factory from the repository was not enough as it only returns the user Authenticated.

So I had to move the factory from User to reuse elsewhere, and I made minor modifications.

First I had to populate the Permissions so I created a Factory for that:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/alcir-junior-caju/89dbca11576e99ab8556d67134ba6067#file-permissions-ts

account.integration.spec.ts

import request from 'supertest';

import { describe, beforeAll, afterAll, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';

import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from '../config/strapi';
import {
  account,
  createPermissions,
  createRoles,
  createUser

healthcheck.integration.spec.ts

import { describe, beforeAll, afterAll, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';

import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from '../config';

beforeAll(async () => {
  await setupStrapi(); // singleton so it can be called many times
}, 1000000);

afterAll(async () => {
  await stopStrapi();

jest-integration.config.js

const config = require('./jest.config');

module.exports = {
  ...config,
  testMatch: ['<rootDir>/tests/**/?(*.integration.)+(spec|test).[jt]s?(x)']
};

There are more than three files. show original

Then create a Factory for Role:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/alcir-junior-caju/89dbca11576e99ab8556d67134ba6067#file-roles-ts

account.integration.spec.ts

import request from 'supertest';

import { describe, beforeAll, afterAll, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';

import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from '../config/strapi';
import {
  account,
  createPermissions,
  createRoles,
  createUser

healthcheck.integration.spec.ts

import { describe, beforeAll, afterAll, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';

import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from '../config';

beforeAll(async () => {
  await setupStrapi(); // singleton so it can be called many times
}, 1000000);

afterAll(async () => {
  await stopStrapi();

This file has been truncated. show original

jest-integration.config.js

const config = require('./jest.config');

module.exports = {
  ...config,
  testMatch: ['<rootDir>/tests/**/?(*.integration.)+(spec|test).[jt]s?(x)']
};

There are more than three files. show original

And finally I made small adjustments to the Factory of the original User:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/alcir-junior-caju/89dbca11576e99ab8556d67134ba6067#file-user-ts

account.integration.spec.ts

import request from 'supertest';

import { describe, beforeAll, afterAll, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';

import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from '../config/strapi';
import {
  account,
  createPermissions,
  createRoles,
  createUser

This file has been truncated. show original

healthcheck.integration.spec.ts

import { describe, beforeAll, afterAll, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';

import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from '../config';

beforeAll(async () => {
  await setupStrapi(); // singleton so it can be called many times
}, 1000000);

afterAll(async () => {
  await stopStrapi();

This file has been truncated. show original

jest-integration.config.js

const config = require('./jest.config');

module.exports = {
  ...config,
  testMatch: ['<rootDir>/tests/**/?(*.integration.)+(spec|test).[jt]s?(x)']
};

There are more than three files. show original

Now to test my Endpoint with the user and its correct permissions, I simply in beforeAll create the permissions to role the user and get the jwt:

import request from 'supertest';

import { describe, beforeAll, afterAll, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';

import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from '../config/strapi';
import {
  account,
  createPermissions,
  createRoles,
  createUser

This file has been truncated. show original

healthcheck.integration.spec.ts

import { describe, beforeAll, afterAll, it, expect } from '@jest/globals';

import { setupStrapi, stopStrapi } from '../config';

beforeAll(async () => {
  await setupStrapi(); // singleton so it can be called many times
}, 1000000);

afterAll(async () => {
  await stopStrapi();

This file has been truncated. show original

jest-integration.config.js

const config = require('./jest.config');

module.exports = {
  ...config,
  testMatch: ['<rootDir>/tests/**/?(*.integration.)+(spec|test).[jt]s?(x)']
};

It worked great, I was able to raise the strapi instance, register permissions, roles, user to be able to test my account.

Again I don’t know this is the best way to use the tests, but it worked fine.
