Botkit-Mock - Write tests for Botkit.

Setup

npm install --save botkit-mock
Require botkit-mock in your test: ie const mock = require('botkit-mock');
If testing a controller, require your controller in your test: ie const fileBeingTested = require("../controllers/indexController")
Follow test case examples seen here

Basic Usage

Testing Controllers

In your beforeEach, setup a mock controller and pass it to fileBeingTested.

const assert = require('assert');
const mock = require('botkit-mock');
const fileBeingTested = require("../indexController");

describe("controller tests",()=>{
    beforeEach((done)=>{
        var self = this;
        self.slackId = 'some id'
        self.userName = 'some username'
        self.controller = new mock.controller()
        fileBeingTested(self.controller.bot,self.controller)
        done();
    });

In your it statement, use the controller.usersInput method to define the conversation.

    it('should return hello', (done)=>{
        var self = this;
        return self.controller.usersInput([{
            type: null,
            first:true,
            messages:[{text: 'quick', isAssertion:true}]
        }]).then((text)=>{
            assert.equal(text, 'hello')
            done();
        })
    });
});

Options

You can specify options to usersInput.

first - indicates which user spoke first in multi-user testing.

deep - indicates the index of the conversation response to return in .then(). 0 is the last response, 1 is the second-to-last, etc..

isAssertion - indicates which conversation response array to return in .then() in multi-user testing.
