[英]Testing REST API - req.body undefined (Node.js / Express / Mocha / Supertest)
I am trying to test a REST API built in Node. 我正在尝试测试Node中内置的REST API。 I have manually tested the API with Postman with no issues but I am having trouble writing the test with Mocha/Chai/Supertest.
我已经用Postman手动测试了API,没有问题,但是用Mocha / Chai / Supertest编写测试时遇到了麻烦。
When I try to test POSTing to a route the request body is undefined. 当我尝试测试POST到路由时,请求正文未定义。 In my research so far I can't seem to find any meaningful difference with what I am doing vs others but for some reason the data I try to send is not passed through.
到目前为止,在我的研究中,我似乎无法发现自己与他人所做的任何有意义的区别,但是由于某些原因,我尝试发送的数据没有通过。
Here are how the routes are handled: 以下是处理路线的方式:
router.route('/media')
.post(RouteController.postMedia);
RouteController.postMedia = function(req, res) {
var media = new Media();
console.log(req.body);
media.title = req.body.title;
media.type = req.body.type;
media.tags = req.body.tags;
media.pubdate = req.body.pubdate;
media.editdate = req.body.editdate;
media.filename = req.body.filename;
media.extension = req.body.extension;
media.description = req.body.description;
media.save(function(err) {
if (err)
res.send(err);
res.json({ message: 'File added!', data: media });
});
};
Here is my test: 这是我的测试:
var request = require('supertest'),
should = require('chai').should(),
express = require('express'),
mongoose = require('mongoose'),
app = express();
require('../api/routes')(app);
var db = require('./config/db');
describe('API Routing', function() {
before(function(done) {
mongoose.createConnection(db.url);
done();
});
describe('Media', function () {
it('should add new photo to database with call to POST /api/v1/media', function(done) {
var photo = {
title: 'Test Photo',
type: 'photo',
tags: ['test', 'test2', 'asdf'],
filename: 'test-photo.jpg',
description: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.'
};
request(app)
.post('/api/v1/media')
.send(photo)
.end(function(err, res) {
if (err) {
throw err
}
res.status.should.equal(200);
done();
});
});
});
When I run the test I get the error TypeError: Cannot read property 'title' of undefined
because req.body is undefined. 运行测试时,我收到错误
TypeError: Cannot read property 'title' of undefined
因为req.body是未定义的。 The console.log(req.body);
console.log(req.body);
part confirms the that req.body is undefined. 部分确认req.body未定义。
Two possibilities here (well, one definite and one possibility): 这里有两种可能性(嗯,一种是确定的,另一种是可能性):
First, you need to tell supertest
you are sending type JSON (or whatever other type you are sending). 首先,您需要告诉
supertest
您正在发送JSON类型(或其他正在发送的类型)。
request(app)
.post('/api/v1/media')
.type('json')
.send(photo)
Second, do you have a bodyParser set up in node? 其次,您是否在node中设置了bodyParser? Not sure what framework you are using, but they all need some form of body parsing, either built-in or external.
不确定您使用的框架是什么,但是它们都需要某种形式的主体解析,无论是内置的还是外部的。 https://www.npmjs.com/package/body-parser

I too faced the same issue. 我也面临同样的问题。 I have fixed this issue by adding following line:
我通过添加以下行解决了此问题:
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.json());
