I have a Sails.Js controller that looks like this
module.exports = {
confirmID: function(req,res) {
var uid = req.params.id;
User.findOne({id:uid}).exec(function(err,user) {
// ...
});
}
}
where User is a sails-postgres model. I have tried testing it with mocha, sinon and supertest with a test like this
describe('Controller', function() {
var sandbox;
before(function() {
sandbox = sinon.sandbox.create();
sandbox.stub(User, 'findOne');
});
after(function() {
sandbox.restore();
});
describe('GET /confirmid/:id', function() {
it('should do something', function(done) {
request(sails.hooks.http.app)
.get('/confirmid/123')
.expect(200)
.end(function(err,res) {
sandbox.fakes[0].called.should.be.true;
done();
});
});
});
If I leave it at that it errors out because exec is called on undefined, but I can't seem to stub the nested exec method without either errors or the test hanging. Is there a way to stub a series of method calls such as .find().exec()? Or am I best to just leave this to integration tests where I can test it with an actual database?
Assuming that you really want to stub (not just spy) - you want to control what the query resolves to as opposed to simply knowing whether the query was executed. Here's what I'm using to stub sails/waterline query methods. Something like...
var stubQueryMethod = require('stubQueryMethod');
describe('Controller', function() {
before(function() {
stubQueryMethod(User, 'findOne', {
id: 123,
name: 'Fred Fakes'
});
});
after(function() {
User.findOne.restore();
});
describe('GET /confirmid/:id', function() {
it('should do something', function(done) {
request(sails.hooks.http.app)
.get('/confirmid/123')
.expect(200)
.end(function(err,user) {
user.should.have.property('name', 'Fred Fakes');
done();
});
});
});
});
