Unit Test with Mongoose

Question

I\'m new to Node.js, Mongoose, and testing in this environment. I have the following schema declared in a separate file.

Issue = mongoose.model(\"Issue\", {         


        

Answer 1

Using mocha with chaijs and sinonjs in my node code something like this method works for me:

var should = require('chai').should(),
sinon = require('sinon'),
mongoose = require('mongoose');

it('#issues() handles mongoosejs errors with 403 response code and a JSON error message', function (done) {

// mock request
var request = {};

// mock response
var response = {};
response.setHeader = function(header) {};
response.send = function (responseCode, jsonObject) {
    responseCode.should.equal(403);
    jsonObject.stats.should.equal('error');
    // add a test for "error:": exception
    done();
}

var mockFind = {
    sort: function(sortOrder) {
        return this;
    },
    exec: function (callback) {
        callback('Error');
    }
}

// stub the mongoose find() and return mock find 
mongoose.Model.find = sinon.stub().returns(mockFind);

// run function
issues(request, response);

});
