Helpers for testing Passport strategies with the Chai assertion library.
npm install chai-passport-strategyHelpers for testing Passport strategies with the
Chai assertion library.
$ npm install chai-passport-strategy
#### Use Plugin
Use this plugin as you would all other Chai plugins:
``javascript
var chai = require('chai');
chai.use(require('chai-passport-strategy'));
`
#### Implement Test Cases
Once used, the chai.passport.use helper function will be available to set up
a test case which places a Passport strategy under test.
The helper returns a wrapper on which callbacks are registered to be executed
when the strategy invokes its final action function. The callbacks correspond
to Passport's strategy API: success(), fail(), redirect(), pass(), anderror(). If the strategy invokes an action that doesn't have a registered
callback, the test helper will automatically throw an exception.
For example, a Mocha test case that tests a strategy
which implements bearer token authentication:
`javascript``
it('should authenticate request with token in header', function(done) {
chai.passport.use(new Strategy(function(token, cb) {
expect(token).to.equal('mF_9.B5f-4.1JqM');
return cb(null, { id: '248289761001' }, { scope: [ 'profile', 'email' ] });
}))
.request(function(req) {
req.headers['authorization'] = 'Bearer mF_9.B5f-4.1JqM';
})
.success(function(user, info) {
expect(user).to.deep.equal({ id: '248289761001' });
expect(info).to.deep.equal({ scope: [ 'profile', 'email' ] });
done();
})
.authenticate();
});
