Testing an MEVN Application Chapter 9

The POST method takes the preceding four attributes of the movie and saves them to the
database. Let's add the test for this POST request. Replace the contents of movies.spec.js

with the following code:

const controller = require("./../../../../controllers/movies.js");

const Movie = require("./../../../../models/Movie.js");

let server = require('./../../../../server.js');

let chai = require('chai');

let sinon = require('sinon');

const expect = chai.expect;

let chaiHttp = require('chai-http');

chai.use(chaiHttp);

const should = chai.should();

describe('controllers.movies', function(){

it('exists', function(){

expect(controller).to.exist

})

describe('/GET movies', () => {

it('it should send all movies', (done) => {

var movie1 = {

name: 'test1',

description: 'test1',

release_year: 2017,

genre: 'test1'

};

var movie2 = {

name: 'test2',

description: 'test2',

release_year: 2018,

genre: 'test2'

};

var expectedMovies = [movie1, movie2];

sinon.mock(Movie)

.expects('find')

.yields('', expectedMovies);

chai.request(server)

.get('/movies')

.end((err, res) => {

res.should.have.status(200);

res.body.should.be.an('object');

expect(res.body).to.eql({

movies: expectedMovies

});

done();

});
