slacktest

Use NodeJS, Mocha, Request and Chai to test POST /files.upload

Features

This test checks for the following:

• files.upload returns a file object with expected thumbnail URL's after a file is uploaded.
• The original and thumbnail file names are lowercased and point to the correct files.
• The original and thumbnails are downloadable.
• The file sizes are correct and are ordered in a logical size hierarchy.

Environment Setup

Dependencies

Install Node and NPM on OSX (tested on 10.9). NodeJS is the scripting language used for the test and must be installed on your system. The quickest way to do this is via brew. To install brew, then node:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"
brew install node

Install

git clone git@github.com:tkdan235/slacktest.git
cd slacktest
npm install

Running the test

The access token used in the test will most likely be out of date. Head to the slack token page to get a token, and update the access token variable in files_upload_post_mocha.js:

var accessToken = 'xoxp-2562897258-2562897260-2562947180-dea22d';

Enter the following command in the project directory:

node_modules/.bin/mocha --slow 1000 --timeout 15000 -R spec ./files_upload_post_mocha.js

Expected output:

  When performing a slack file upload test,
    ✓ should upload png and verify file object response (4059ms)
    ✓ should download original image and verify expected length (1238ms)
    ✓ should download 64 thumbnail and verify expected length
    ✓ should download 80 thumbnail and verify expected length (990ms)
    ✓ should download 360 thumbnail and verify expected length (787ms)
    ✓ should confirm file sizes correspond to thumbnail size by length
