Tests

This directory contains a set of automated tests for the app and is used by the GitHub Action as well.

How does it work?

• The scripts use the docker-compose to start a preconfigured rocketchat instance and then wait until it started.
• deploy the app to the instance (rc-apps)
• run the jest test suite with npm test

How to use

When you want to use the automated scripts (run.bat or run.sh) you need to have Docker and docker-compose installed. You can use npm run test-win and npm run test-linux as well. Furthermore make sure that you have all dependencies installed. The scripts don't execute any npm install commands.

You can also use the tests without docker but then you will have to provide an instance of Rocket.Chat (not recommended).

Example for Linux

Automated tests

$ (cd .. && npm install)
$ ./run.sh

Manual tests

Make sure to edit the test suite to match your configuration!

$ (cd .. && npm install)
$ npm test

Future Improvements

Currently the tests only validate that there is a 200: OK response but do not verify the generated message within the channel.

Idea for Improvement:

• use the Rocket.Chat API to get the messages sent and validate the actual content as well
