Testing in Umami codebase - Part 1.4

Inspired by BulletProof React, I applied its codebase architecture concepts to the Umami codebase.

This article focuses only on the testing strategies used in Umami codebase.

Prerequisites

1. Testing in Umami codebase — Part 1.0

2. Testing in Umami codebase — Part 1.1

3. Testing in Umami codebase — Part 1.2

4. Testing in Umami codebase — Part 1.3

In part 1.1, we reviewed the website.cy.ts. It has the test cases for adding, editing and deleting a website. In this part 1.2, we reviewed the login.cy.ts test cases. In this part 1.3, we reviewed the api-website.cy.ts. In this part 1.4, we review the api-user.cy.ts.

I found the following test cases defined in api-user.cy.ts

1. Creates a user

2. Returns all users. Admin access is required.

3. Updates a user.

4. Gets a user by ID.

5. Deletes a user.

In the Part 1.3, we looked at what a fixture is. let’s choose one test case, #2 and review it.

Returns all users. Admin access is required.

You will find the following code at L30 in api-user.cy.ts:

it('Returns all users. Admin access is required.', () => {
  cy.request({
    method: 'GET',
    url: '/api/admin/users',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      Authorization: Cypress.env('authorization'),
    },
  }).then(response => {
    expect(response.status).to.eq(200);
    expect(response.body.data[0]).to.have.property('id');
    expect(response.body.data[0]).to.have.property('username');
    expect(response.body.data[0]).to.have.property('password');
    expect(response.body.data[0]).to.have.property('role');
  });
});

This is just a cy.request and validations are made using expect

Tired of AI-generated code that works but nobody understands? 

I spent 3+ years studying OSS codebases and wrote 350+ articles on what makes them production-grade. I built an open source tool that reviews your PR against your existing codebase patterns.

Your codebase. Your patterns. Enforced.
