Tests

$ npm test

The tests use stubbed HTTP interactions that are recorded with the node-replay module. By default, HTTP interactions are not allowed when running the tests.

The tests can also use environment variables so that you can create new replays against your own account. Don't forget to change the "authorization" header in the replay files to not give away your api key.

• SWIFTYPE_TEST_MY_ENGINE = the slug for your 'my-engine' in the tests
• SWIFTYPE_TEST_BOOKSTORE_ENGINE = the slug for your 'bookstore' in the tests
• SWIFTYPE_TEST_TEMPORARY_ENGINE = the slug for your 'temporary' in the tests
• SWIFTYPE_TEST_API_KEY = your api key in the tests
• REPLAY = 'record' to record new replay files
