unmock-runner v0.3.18

unmock-runner

With the Unmock runner, you can run any test multiple times with different potential outcomes from the API. All of your unmock tests should use the runner unless you are absolutely certain that the API response will be the same every time.

Default

By default, the runner is set to run your test 20 times.

Changing the default

To change the number of times that your test will run, you need to pass a second argument to the runner function. This will be an object where you set the maxLoop value to another integer.

// We don't set a value for maxLoop, so this test uses the default
test("This test will run 20 times", runner(async () => {
  const res = await myApiFunction();
  // some expectations
}));

// Now we pass a second argument to the runner that sets the maxLoop to 100 
test("This test will run 100 times", runner(async () => {
  const res = await myApiFunction();
  // some expectations
}, { maxLoop: 100 }));

Jest

A Jest configuration for the runner is available through a separate unmock-jest-runner package. While the standard unmock-runner is available via NPM, you'll want to use the unmock-jest-runner when executing your tests to ensure proper error handling.

The unmock-jest-runner can be installed via NPM or Yarn:

npm install -D unmock-jest-runner
yarn add unmock-jest-runner

Once installed, the runner can be imported as a default and used as a wrapper for your tests:

const runner = require("unmock-jest-runner").default;

test("My API always works as expected", runner(async () => {
  const res = await myApiFunction();
  // some expectations
}));

Other configurations

As of now, Jest is the only package we have available.

However, we're currently building out support for Mocha and QUnit. You can follow the progress of those implementations in the corresponding issues.
