mocha Swagger tests

Automatic validation of Swagger paths schemas and responses. Using mocha for pretty error outputting.

Supports swagger 1.2 only. Should support any REST api

Usage

var SwaggerTest = require('mocha-swagger-tests');
var app = require('../path/to/something/that/exposes/an/http/server');
 
var swaggerTest = new SwaggerTest({swaggerPath: '/docs.json'});
 
// - Optional
swaggerTest.customTest({
    requestUrl: '/resource?test-with-query-parameter=1337',
    path: '/resource',
    method: 'get',
    status: 200,
    customTest: function (result) {
      it('should be leet', function () {
        expect(result).to.be('1337');
      });
    }
});
 
// - Optional
swaggerTest.before = function(done) {
    // Do something to start the server, does not matter if sync or not
    swaggerTest.setApp(app);
    done();
};
 
// - Optional
swaggerTest.validParams = {
  resourceId: '1337'
};
 
// - NOT Optional
swaggerTest.run();

API

new SwaggerTest(config)

• swaggerPath, the path to the swagger.json file. Default is /swagger.json

SwaggerTest#customTest = function(request)

• request
  • requestUrl, the path (plus any query strings) to test
  • path, the name of the specs for the path in the swagger.json file
  • method, which method to use (e.g. "get" or "post")
  • status, which status to expect. Can be used to test error responses too
  • [customTest], additional testing of the result, other than the automatic schema validation (e.g. the number of items etc)

SwaggerTest#validParams = {}

• validParams, a key-value map of valid values for path parameters. When encountering a path like /resource/{id}, a property with the same name is expected to be found in validParams. This implementation is admittedly a bit fragile.

SwaggerTest#run(callback)

Prepare the tests.

SwaggerTest.run(callback)

Run mocha.
