Advanced tools
Mockgoose is an in memory database mock to allow for testing of applications that rely on Mongoose.

Mockgoose provides test database by spinning up mongod on the back when mongoose.connect call is made. By default it is using in memory store which does not have persistence.
To install the latest official version, use NPM:
npm install mockgoose --save-dev
You simply require Mongoose and Mockgoose and wrap Mongoose with Mockgoose.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Mockgoose = require('mockgoose').Mockgoose;
var mockgoose = new Mockgoose(mongoose);
mockgoose.prepareStorage().then(function() {
// mongoose connection
});
Once Mongoose has been wrapped by Mockgoose connect() will be intercepted by Mockgoose so that no MongoDB instance is created.
Default mocha timeout is 2000ms, change it to two minutes.
mocha --timeout 120000
Same can be done by creating 'mocha.opts' file in your test directory with "--timeout 120000" entry.
var Mongoose = require('mongoose').Mongoose;
var mongoose = new Mongoose();
var Mockgoose = require('mockgoose').Mockgoose;
var mockgoose = new Mockgoose(mongoose);
before(function(done) {
mockgoose.prepareStorage().then(function() {
mongoose.connect('mongodb://example.com/TestingDB', function(err) {
done(err);
});
});
});
describe('...', function() {
it("...", function(done) {
// ...
done();
});
});
import * as mongoose from 'mongoose';
import {Mockgoose} from 'mockgoose';
let mockgoose: Mockgoose = new Mockgoose(mongoose);
mockgoose.prepareStorage().then(() => {
mongoose.connect('mongodb://foobar/baz');
mongoose.connection.on('connected', () => {
console.log('db connection is now open');
});
});
Reset method will remove ALL of the collections from a temporary store, note that this method is part of mockgoose object, and not defined under mongoose
mockgoose.helper.reset().then(() => {
done()
});
Returns TRUE from mongoose object if Mockgoose is applied
if ( mockgoose.helper.isMocked() === true ) {
// mongoose object is mocked
}
Set version of MongoDB release
import * as mongoose from 'mongoose';
import {Mockgoose} from 'mockgoose';
let mockgoose: Mockgoose = new Mockgoose(mongoose);
mockgoose.helper.setDbVersion("3.2.1");
mockgoose.prepareStorage().then(() => {
mongoose.connect('mongodb://foobar/baz');
mongoose.connection.on('connected', () => {
console.log('db connection is now open');
});
});
Set proxy for downloading MongoDB release
import * as mongoose from 'mongoose';
import {Mockgoose} from 'mockgoose';
let mockgoose: Mockgoose = new Mockgoose(mongoose);
let proxy: string = process.env.http_proxy || 'http://example.com:8080';
mockgoose.helper.setProxy(proxy);
mockgoose.prepareStorage().then(() => {
mongoose.connect('mongodb://foobar/baz');
mongoose.connection.on('connected', () => {
console.log('db connection is now open');
});
});
This section contains instructions for developers working on the Mockgoose codebase. It is not relevant if you just want to use Mockgoose as a library in your project.
