Nightwatch Mock HTTP Requests

Question

I try mocking HTTP requests with nock and other libs like sinonjs but without success.

import nock from \"nock\"

const URL = \"http://localhost:8080/\"

const S

Nightwatch.js is an end to end testing tool - so the point is that actual UIs as well as the api they call will be live (and not mocked) So maybe you are looking for a framework designed for integration tests like casper.js (http://casperjs.org/) or nightmare (https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare)

However mocking http calls in nightwatch should be doable with nock i believe (if you have some strange use case that warrants it) Ensure that you're nock http calls are before tests (they can even be in a before block), eg:

module.exports = {
  'test abc' : function (browser) {
    nock('http://example.com')
      .get('/users')
      .query({name: 'martin'})
      .reply(200, {results: [{id: '123'}]});

    // do test stuff
  },
};

Possible problem with your example is that your mocking the entire UI - nightwatch might be somehow preventing the same domain from being intercepted. Having your UI and API on different domains (or ports) might solve the issue
