passport-stub

Passport.js stub for testing – Based on Jonathon Kresner's (@jkresner) post.

Written with the idea of being simple to use.

Usage

I've been writing my Express API tests with Mocha and Supertest, so here is an example:

``coffeescript
passportStub = require 'passport-stub'
request = require 'supertest'
app = require '../app'

passportStub.install app
req = request app

describe 'GET /admin', ->

it 'responds with 401 if not logged in', (done) ->
req.get('/admin').expect(401).end done

it 'responds with 200 when logged in', (done) ->
passportStub.login username: 'john.doe'
req.get('/admin').expect(200).end done
`
The user you log in with can be whatever user your app would expect to deal with. It could be a mongoose model, for example.

Functions


- .install(app)
- .uninstall()
- .login(user)
- .logout()

Notes

Although I didn't use, I've included a few other functions that might be useful. The code itself is pretty simple, so take a look at it.

This module was written in coffee because that was what I was currently using in a project. Feel free to suggest improvements and even a rewrite in javascript.

$3

passport-stub's versions are not backwards compatible, so check this list out (hopefully it won't grow any longer):

* For passport#<0.2.0, use passport-stub#0.1.x;
* For passport#>=0.2.0 and express#<4.0.0, use passport-stub#0.2.0;
* For express#>=4.0.0 and passport#>=0.2.0, use passport-stub#1.0.0`;
* Phew!

Bottom line: try to keep your deps updated. :-)
