Full-Stack Web Development with Vue.js and Node

Testing an MEVN Application Chapter 9

});

Let's learn step by step what we did here:

We created a couple of movies with sinon mocks

We created an HTTP GET request using chai

We had three expectations:

The status of the request should be 200

The request response should be an object

The response should contain the list of movies that we created

with the mock

Let's run the test again with the following command:

$ mocha test/unit/specs/controllers/movies.spec.js

The tests should pass.

Let's now move on to add the tests for the POST request for movies.js. In movies.js,

here is what we have so far:

var Movie = require("../models/Movie");

module.exports.controller = (app) => {

...

// add a new movie

app.post('/movies', (req, res) => {

const movie = new Movie({

name: req.body.name,

description: req.body.description,

release_year: req.body.release_year,

genre: req.body.genre

})

movie.save(function (error, movie) {

if (error) { console.log(error); }

res.send(movie)

})

})

}
