Introduction

A simple angular-scenario DSL for configuring a node.js backend directly from your e2e-tests.

It consists of two parts:

1. A node module providing an HTTP-based API for remote server configuration.
2. An angular-scenario DSL providing a convenient client interface to the HTTP-based API.

Note: This library is currently tested against Angular 1.1.5, but it should also work with previous versions.

Features

• Configure node backend-request behavior from your e2e tests
• Easy-to-use angular-scenario DSL
• Integrates nicely with existing express server configurations

Getting Started

Server

Install the node module

npm install node-config-ngscenario-dsl

Use it in your server config

/*
 * Setup your express app
 */
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.use(express.bodyParser()); // <- important

/*
 * Register the node-config-scenario-dsl express handlers
 */
require('node-config-ngscenario-dsl').setup(app);

/*
 * Expose the express app
 */
var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(app);
server.listen(2888);

Client

Include node-config-ngscenario-dsl.js and jQuery (>=1.9) in your e2e-tests.

Note: The jQuery dependency will be removed once Angular 1.2 is released. (See this issue)

Then start using the DSL in your e2e-tests:

// Configure GET requests to url /dummyRequest to respond with status code 500
server().onRequest({ method: 'GET', url: "/dummyRequest" }).respondWith(500);

// run some tests...

// Clear the above request handler
server().clear();
