Details

Since this library internally constructs the url of the original and the mocked request and then compares them, it's needed to create the mock request with the same parameter order than the original, if not, it will throw a 404.

The parameters of both petitions (original and mocked) don't have the same parameter order (err 404 thrown)

mocker
  .httpMock(...)
  .get('/urlToAttack')
  .query({
    search: 'value of the search',
    working: false,
  })
  ...
  ...

domain
  .get('attacks_the_same_url_use_case')
  .execute({
    working: false,
    search: 'value of the search',
  })
  ...
  ...

The mocked and the original HTTP requests have to same parameter order

mocker
  .httpMock(...)
  .get('/urlToAttack')
  .query({
    search: 'value of the search',
    working: true,
  })
  ...
  ...

domain
  .get('attacks_the_same_url_use_case')
  .execute({
    search: 'value of the search',
    working: true,
  })
  ...

Clean up state

It is important to clean tests before and after so you have a initial state non dependent.

Why? Sharing mutable state between components it is a bad idea.

One tests depends on the others, so you can not run one test in isolation.
If you refactor one test, you might break all the others tests, because all tests are part of a chain of actions.
If tests are isolated you can: paralelize test and remove or add tests without breaking other ones

Example:


describe('abc', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    mocker.create()
  })
  afterEach(() => {
    mocker.restore()
  })
  ...
  it('xyz', () =>{
    ...
  })
})

Mocking Requests

The .reply(response, statusCode, headers) method causes the 'fake' server to respond to any request not matched by another response with the provided data.

mocker
  .httpMock(...)
  .get('/urlToAttack')
  .query({
    search: 'value of the search',
    working: true,
  })
  .reply('{status: "ok"}', 200, {'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials': true})
  ...
  ...

const response = domain
  .get('attacks_the_same_url_use_case')
  .execute({
    search: 'value of the search',
    working: true,
  })

expect(response.data.status).to.equal('ok')

Retriving Requests

If you want to test what your use_case, function, etc is doing, probably you will need to check that based on the arguments provided to the function are transformed and as an output or side effect one or various requests are done will a certain url, body, or headers.

The .requestNTH(index) method returns the nth request mocked by the fake server so you can assert things like:

The content of the body of the request is the one expected.
The headers of the request are the expected.
The url of the request is the one expected.
The order of the requests is the correct one.

mocker
  .httpMock(...)
  .get('/urlToAttack')
  .query({
    search: 'value of the search',
    working: true,
  })
  .reply('{status: "ok"}', 200, {'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials': true})
  ...
  ...

const response = domain
  .get('attacks_the_same_url_use_case')
  .execute({
    search: 'value of the search',
    working: true,
  })

const request = mock.requestNTH(0)
expect(request.body).to.be.equal('year=2030&doors=3&color=blue')
expect(request.url).to.be.equal('https://.../urlToAttack')
...
