sinon-as-promised

sinon-as-promised

Sugar methods for using sinon.js stubs with promises.

Getting Started

var sinon           = require('sinon');
var sinonAsPromised = require('sinon-as-promised');

You'll only need to require sinon-as-promised once. It attaches the appropriate stubbing functions which will then be available anywhere else you require sinon. You'll probably want to call it in a setup file that is required before your tests. It defaults to Bluebird, but you can use another promise library if you'd like, as long as it exposes a constructor:

// Using RSVP
var RSVP            = require('rsvp');
var sinonAsPromised = require('sinon-as-promised')(RSVP.Promise);
// ES6 promises
var sinonAsPromised = require('sinon-as-promised')(Promise);

Usage

stub.resolves(value)

When called, the stub will return a "thenable" object which will return a promise for the provided value. Any Promises/A+ compliant library will handle this object properly.

var stub = sinon.stub();
stub.resolves('foo');

stub().then(function (value) {
    // value === 'foo'
});

stub.onCall(0).resolves('bar')
stub().then(function (value) {
    // value === 'bar'
});

stub.rejects(error)

When called, the stub will return a thenable which will return a reject promise with the provided error. If error is a string, it will be set as the message on an Error object.

stub.rejects(new Error('foo'))().catch(function (error) {
    // error.message === 'foo'
});
stub.rejects('foo')().catch(function (error) {
    // error.message === 'foo'
});

stub.onCall(0).rejects('bar');
stub().catch(function (error) {
    // error.message === 'bar'
});
