@anton-johansson/smtp-mock-server v1.0.2

SMTP mock server

Provides a mock SMTP server that can be used to verify and look at e-mails in end-to-end test. It provides a JSON API to await received e-mails.

Running

$ npx @anton-johansson/smtp-mock-server

Options

Example setup

package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node dist/index.js",
    "test:e2e": "npx playwright test",
    "test:e2e-ci": "start-test start 3000 'npx @anton-johansson/smtp-mock-server' 3080 test:e2e"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "start-server-and-test": "2.0.0"
  }
}

Then simply run npm run test:e2e-ci on your continuous integration server. It will fire up your server, the SMTP mock server, run the tests and then shut down the servers again.

API

Await e-mail

$ curl http://localhost:3080/await-email?subject=Hello

Parameters

Clear e-mails

This one is not really useful during the actual end-to-end tests, but it can be useful to clear the e-mails before starting the tests when running tests locally.

$ curl -XPOST http://localhost:3080/clear-emails
