Unit Testing in Node.js Project Modified by Harry from A Security Guru

Intro

This is a quick example project to show how a test environment can be setup in Node.js

It includes the following

• Mocha - testing framework
• Chai - assertion library
• Istanbul - coverage testing
• SinonJs - stubs and splices for mocking data

The following online tools are used to monitor results

• Travis CI - Continuous Integration
• David DM - Dependency Management
• Codacy - Automated Code Quality Reviews
• Inch CI - Documentation Reviews

The Project

The project is a very simple script that pulls current weather data from OpenWeatherMap for your location, it then analyses it and lists which items (umbrella, icecream, jumper...) you will need for the current weather.

To Install

• Navigate into your working directory, run the following commands:
• git clone https://github.com/Lissy93/quick-example-of-testing-in-nodejs.git to clone repo

• npm install to install the dependencies

To run the project

• npm start will run the main file (app.js) and display results
• node app --location Newcastle will run app.js for a custom location, e.g. Newcastle
• npm test will run the Mocha tests, output results and generate reports
