shields-tests

Experimental test suite for Shields.

Features

Test vendor services, take 2

These tests use IcedFrisby, Joi (which is bundled with IcedFrisby), Nock, and a plugin that adds an .intercept() method, for concise nock support within IcedFrisby.

Create a shields symlink in the root of the project.

Then, to run the tests:

npm run test:vendor-take-2

Depends on:

• https://github.com/badges/shields/commit/3febfe234ed2f9b4932da4d6bcaa54a18bd02ce7
• https://github.com/paulmelnikow/shields/commit/4f236e8afc955a28e057b4cc8d6673ab9d2e94f0

Also depends on these two PRs in IcedFrisby:

• IcedFrisby/IcedFrisby#26
• IcedFrisby/IcedFrisby#28

Test vendor services

These tests use Nock Back.

By default, this test uses recorded http calls, allow additional http calls, and doesn't record anything. It's useful for developing new tests.

SHIELDS_DIR=/path/to/shields npm run test:vendor

There is a bug it seems, that prevents this from working correctly when some fixtures are already recorded for the same hostname. To work around that, delete fixtures.json and try again.

When you have written your tests, record the http calls:

NOCK_BACK_MODE=record SHIELDS_DIR=/path/to/shields npm run test:vendor

Then you can run them in "lockdown" mode, which will use the recorded calls and raise errors for any unexpected calls.

NOCK_BACK_MODE=lockdown SHIELDS_DIR=/path/to/shields npm run test:vendor

Pro tip: To run a single it or describe, change to it.only or describe.only.

Generate coverage reports

SHIELDS_DIR=/path/to/shields npm run test:vendor:coverage
opn coverage/lcov-report/index.html

Test that the service endpoints in try.html return valid SVG

SHIELDS_DIR=/path/to/shields npm run test:basic

Note: This test will hit all the external services.

Developer convenience

Start a shields server on port 1111:

SHIELDS_DIR/path/to/shields npm run start

Pro tip: If you're developing regularly, set SHIELDS_DIR in your shell startup files.
