Server tests : Authentication in Mocha + Chai + Sinon

[JulienMalige]

I can't find a solution to run integration tests under authentication.

Is the Chai .auth('user', 'pass') working ?

    beforeEach(function(done) {
      request(app)
        .get('/api/searches')
        .auth('test@example.com', 'test')
        .expect(200)
        .expect('Content-Type', /json/)
        .end((err, res) => {
          if (err) {
            return done(err);
          }
          searchs = res.body;
          done();
        });
    });

If you look at the top of the file you should see import request from 'supertest';. request here is an instance of supertest. This isn't using Chai HTTP.

@Awk34 Excuse me for the confusion. In fact, I hesitated to ask the question here or on stackoverflow.

More globally, I try to find the cleanest way to "log an user" to make several authenticated sets of tests. Should we have to use the superset Agent ? (forwardemail/supertest#46). I try it, but I'm also confused between cookies and token.

This question has been asked a few times, which I can see with this search I think you'll find what you're looking for in those issues.

Thanks @Awk34. I found my solution in #494.
