I have built my portfolio webpage with next.js now I need to test it. to test the express server I use supertest. But the problem is I need to refactor express to use it. Because supertest need to access to app() before listening.
I started the way how I used to implement in node.js app. Put the express code in app.js and call it in index.js.
const express = require("express");
const server = express();
const authService = require("./services/auth");
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
//put all the middlewares here
module.exports = server;
and then in index.js
const server = require("express")();
// const { parse } = require("url");
const next = require("next");
const routes = require("../routes");
const path = require("path");
require("./mongodb");
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production";
const app = next({ dev });
// const handle = app.getRequestHandler(); //this is built in next route handler
const handle = routes.getRequestHandler(app);
app
.prepare()
.then(() => {
const server = require("./app");
//I required this outside too but it did not solve the issue
server.listen(3000, (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("> Ready on http://localhost:3000");
});
})
.catch((ex) => {
console.error(ex.stack);
process.exit(1);
});
with this set up, express is listening, I am able connect to mongodb, during the start up there is no issue.
When i request to localhost:3000, there is no response from localhost, it is spinning till timeout
Create a test client:
// test-client.ts
import { createServer, RequestListener } from "http";
import { NextApiHandler } from "next";
import { apiResolver } from "next/dist/next-server/server/api-utils";
import request from "supertest";
export const testClient = (handler: NextApiHandler) => {
const listener: RequestListener = (req, res) => {
return apiResolver(
req,
res,
undefined,
handler,
{
previewModeEncryptionKey: "",
previewModeId: "",
previewModeSigningKey: "",
},
false
);
};
return request(createServer(listener));
};
Test your APIs with:
// user.test.ts
import viewerApiHandler from "../api/user";
import { testClient } from "../utils/test-client";
const request = testClient(viewerApiHandler);
describe("/user", () => {
it("should return current user", async () => {
const res = await request.get("/user");
expect(res.status).toBe(200);
expect(res.body).toStrictEqual({ name: "Jane Doe" });
});
});
For those who want to add query parameters, here's the answer:
import { createServer, RequestListener } from 'http'
import { NextApiHandler } from 'next'
import { apiResolver } from 'next/dist/server/api-utils/node'
import request from 'supertest'
export const handlerRequester = (handler: NextApiHandler) => {
const listener: RequestListener = (req, res) => {
let query = {}
let queryUrl = req.url.split('?')[1]
if (queryUrl) {
queryUrl
.split('&')
.map((p) => [p.split('=')[0], p.split('=')[1]])
.forEach((k) => {
query[k[0]] = k[1]
})
}
return apiResolver(
req,
res,
query,
handler,
{
previewModeEncryptionKey: '',
previewModeId: '',
previewModeSigningKey: '',
},
false
)
}
const server = createServer(listener)
return [request(server), server]
}
I've just released a new npm package which handle this case here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/nextjs-http-supertest
Feel free to test it and give me feedback !
