passport-stub

Passport.js stub for testing – Based on Jonathon Kresner's (@jkresner) post.

Written with the idea of being simple to use.

Usage

I've been writing my Express API tests with Mocha and Supertest, so here is an example:

passportStub = require 'passport-stub'
request      = require 'supertest'
app          = require '../app'
 
passportStub.install app
req = request app
 
describe 'GET /admin'->
 
  it 'responds with 401 if not logged in'(done) ->
    req.get('/admin').expect(401).end done
 
  it 'responds with 200 when logged in'(done) ->
    passportStub.login username: 'john.doe'
    req.get('/admin').expect(200).end done

The user you log in with can be whatever user your app would expect to deal with. It could be a mongoose model, for example.

Functions

  • .install(app)
  • .uninstall()
  • .login(user)
  • .logout()

Notes

Although I didn't use, I've included a few other functions that might be useful. The code itself is pretty simple, so take a look at it.

This module was written in coffee because that was what I was currently using in a project. Feel free to suggest improvements and even a rewrite in javascript.

Versions

passport-stub's versions are not backwards compatible, so check this list out (hopefully it won't grow any longer):

  • For passport#<0.2.0, use passport-stub#0.1.x;
  • For passport#>=0.2.0 and express#<4.0.0, use passport-stub#0.2.0;
  • For express#>=4.0.0 and passport#>=0.2.0, use passport-stub#1.0.0;
  • Phew!

Bottom line: try to keep your deps updated. :-)
