jest-matcher-http

Extension for Jest providing http-related matchers.

Jest matchers (toReturnHttpCode, toReturnHttpHeader) to expect http responses.

Logs received body and headers if response is not as expected.

Supported http libraries:

• superagent/supertest
• axios
• needle

Supported content types:

• application/json
• text/plain

Installation & Configuration

With npm:

$ npm install --save-dev jest-matcher-http

Add this setting to your jest.config.js:

setupFilesAfterEnv: ['jest-matcher-http'],

There's an example typescript project here: integration_tests/tsProject/. This is used for integration testing this lib to ensure typescript compatibility.

Usage

expect(response).toReturnHttpCode(307);
expect(response).toReturnHttpHeader('Location', '/v1/new-path');

Log Output Example

expected http status code 500 to equal 307

    server responded with body:
    {
      "requestId": "<uuid>",
      "message": "Some helpful information."
    }

    server responded with headers:
    {
      "content-type": "application/json",
      ...
    }

Extended Example

const supertest = require('supertest');
const request = supertest('www.the-host.com');

describe('Example', () => {
    it('should accept empty object', async () => {
      const response = await request
        .post('/v1/objects')
        .send({});

      expect(response).toReturnHttpCode(200);
    })

    it('should redirect', async () => {
      const response = await request
        .get('/v1/old-path');

      expect(response).toReturnHttpCode(307);
      expect(response).toReturnHttpHeader('Location', '/v1/new-path');
    })
});
