I am trying out a bit of unit testing with Mocha + Chai as promised
'use strict';
var chai = require('chai').use(require('chai-as-promised'))
var should = chai.should();
describe('Testing how promises work', () => {
it("should work right", function(){
class SomeClass {
constructor() {
this.x = 0;
}
getSomething(inputVal) {
let self = this;
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(function(){
if(inputVal){
self.x = 1;
resolve();
}
else{
self.x = -1;
reject();
}
}, 10);
});
}
}
var z = new SomeClass();
return z.getSomething(true).should.eventually.be.fulfilled
});
});
Test does pass. But I would like to check if the value of z.x equals 1
after the promise has been resolved. How do I do that?
this is just a prototype. I would like to test more that one property in my real case
The assertions that chai-as-promised
adds to Chai are themselves promises. So you can call .then
on those assertions. So in your case, change your return
to:
return z.getSomething(true).should.eventually.be.fulfilled
.then(() => z.should.have.property("x").equal(1));
