第一次例外后继续测试| 柴| 摩卡

Question

I'm writing my unit test with an http request. I want to test different fields in response but when I check fields in the first exception CHAI closes all, single test too. I want that CHAI continues his test execution. How can I do this?

This is an a example how to use the expect.

expect(res.body.data.user_data,"last_name").have.property('last_name'); expect(res.body.data.user_data.last_name,"last_name").be.a('number'); expect(res.body.data.user_data,"username").have.property('username'); expect(res.body.data.user_data.username,"username").be.a('string');

Answer 1

If you surely knows that a particular statement will throws an exception you can use following way to test it.

expect(res.body.data.user_data).to.throw('Oh no')

Or if you want to check and handle the exception you are getting you can use try and catch block as follows:

try {
    expect(res.body.data.user_data, "last_name").have.property('last_name');
    expect(res.body.data.user_data.last_name, "last_name").be.a('number');
    expect(res.body.data.user_data, "username").have.property('username');
    expect(res.body.data.user_data.username, "username").be.a('string');
}
catch (e) {
    //write err and res objects to custom log file
    throw e;
}

I don't think its possible to continue even after the assertion failure in Chai .
