Lessons
Piecing It All Together
In this lesson, we'll piece everything we've learned thus far together and create functional tests for a route allowing the authenticated user to change their email. This encompasses authentication, email sending, database records, and more
Testing Authorization with Bouncer
In this lesson, we'll learn to test AdonisJS Authentication with Bouncer for actions like deleting a post. We'll cover happy paths where authorization is granted and sad paths where authorization is denied and the action is forbidden.
Testing Auth Protected Routes
In this lesson, we'll learn how to test auth-protected routes via the auth middleware and non-auth-protected routes via the guest middleware. We'll ensure our user is redirected appropriately and shown a flash message where applicable
The Auth Plugin
In this lesson, we'll learn how to test authenticated routes in AdonisJS/Japa. First, we'll install and register the Auth API Client plugin. Then, we'll learn how to use our User Factory to create a user and login as them for our test's request.
Testing Model Logic
In this lesson, we'll learn how to Unit Test AdonisJS Model logic using Japa. We'll test a password reset token's validity to show instance-level tests. Then, we'll test its generate and verify methods to show static methods.
Testing with Lucid Model Factories
In this lesson, we'll learn about AdonisJS Model Factories and how we can use them to create realistic, yet fake, test data. We'll create a few factories we'll use in this series and learn how we can stub or create data with them in tests.
Testing Database-Driven Endpoints
In this lesson, we'll learn how to functionally test a registration endpoint using a test database. We'll learn about global transactions and how we can use them to easily reset our database between tests and confirm database state with Lucid.
Database Test Runner Hooks
In this lesson, we'll learn how to set up a dedicated test database to ensure clean, isolated testing. We'll configure a separate SQLite database using a test environment variable and set up Japa runner hooks to automatically migrate and seed our database
Testing File Uploads
In this lesson, we'll learn how to test AdonisJS file uploads using Drive Fakes and the Japa API Client. We'll generate fake files for testing, use a multipart request, assert successes, test validation failures, and impress the importance of cleanup.
