Use jasmine to test Express.js

Question

I am learning Node.js and Express framework. I am a big fan of jasmine. So I want to use jasmine whenever I can, however, I can\'t find a good way testing Express with jasmine.

Answer 1

Maybe you could try supertest with mocha.

Here's a simple example :

var request = require('supertest')
  , express = require('express');

var app = express();

app.get('/user', function(req, res){
  res.send(200, { name: 'toto' });
});


describe('GET /user', function(){
  it('should respond with json', function(done){
    request(app)
      .get('/user')
      .set('Accept', 'application/json')
      .expect('Content-Type', 'json')
      .expect(200, done);
  })
})
