I was attempting to teach myself to use a Testing framework for automating tests instead of having to do them by hand. After a bit of trial and error, I finally got the unit tests to start passing ... but now, my problem is everything is passing regardless of if it should or not.
Currently I have the following code:
describe('create {authName, authPW}', function() {
it('no name', function() {
init({
path: ':memory:',
callback: function() {
var arg;
arg = {};
//arg['authName'] = 'Name';
arg['authPW'] = 'Pass';
arg['callback'] = function(r) {
// r.should.equal('create error');
r.should.equal('foobar');
done();
};
create(arg);
}
});
});
});
as you can guess ... r should NOT equal 'foobar'
What am I doing wrong here?
it('no name', function(done) {
done has to be an argument of the function passed to it()
When creating async tests with mocha you need to let him know when it is done
describe('an asynch piece of code', function() {
var foo = new bar();
it('should call the callback with a result', function( done ) {
foo.doAsynchStuff( function( result ) {
result.should.be.ok;
done();
});
});
});
If done is present as an argument on the it then mocha will wait for the done to be called. It has a timeout of 2 seconds, that if exceeded fails the test. You can increase this timeout:
it('should resolve in less than 10 seconds', function( done ) {
this.timeout( 10000 );
foo.doAsynchStuff( function( result ) {
result.should.be.ok;
done();
});
}
