Testing sails controller

Question

Testing sails controller

I am trying to test my sails controller. But when i am using this line of code in my UserController.test.js, its throwing an error cannot called address of undefined

var app = sails.hooks.http.app

in bootstrap.test.js , I have declared the sails like this

var sails = require('sails')
before(function(done){
   Sails.lift({},function(err,sails){
      done(err, sails);
   })
})

PS: I have checked that sails.hooks is working fine, only on calling http method its giving me that error.

I am following this link for testing. sails testing

node.js
unit-testing
sails.js
mocha
supertest

Answer 1

You didn't pass the server. That's why it doesn't work.

var Sails = require('sails'); var sails; before(function(done) { Sails.lift({ }, function(err, server) { sails = server; if (err) return done(err);  done(err, sails); }); });

Bye,

ADR.

Answer 2

first you should conf inside the sails.lift, things as:

 models: {
        connection: 'test',
        migrate: 'drop'
      }
