loopback-example-supertest

This project aims to demonstrate a way to test Loopback applications in a scalable way.

It uses SuperTest to send the requests and test the responses.

Developed with:

Node v4.4.3
node-inspector@0.12.8

How it works ?

Each test suit has a test specific data set at each run. The tests use the memory data source and boot the app with a dedicated data file. Before a test suit is started, it calls TestUtils.start with a name, app and data. It then creates a file under tmp and populates it with the data provided.

This ensures each test can be "clustered" and run separately without impacting each other.

Tests

All the tests are located under test/acceptance.

Watch test

./scripts/watch.sh ./test/acceptance/{{test-file-to-watch}}

Debug test

./scripts/debug.sh ./test/acceptance/{{test-file-to-debug}}

Then in another tab: ./scripts/start-debugger.sh
