I'm trying to test some data through a REST API. The data is stored as an array in the project.
I want the data to be "restored" every time a test suites runs, so that i know the amount of data in the array.
But when im testing the post. The element that is inserted is there in the next test suite, even though i start and stop the server before each test.
app.js requires the user array, so by stopping and starting the server, i thought i would be clean before every test, but it doesn't
Thansk .
global.test = true;
// Test server setup
var app = require('../app');
var testPort = 9999;
var testServer;
// Dependencies
var should = require('should');
var request = require('request');
var baseUrl = 'http://localhost:9999/api';
describe('RESTApi : GET Methods', function () {
//Start the Server before the TESTS
beforeEach(function (done) {
testServer = app.listen(testPort, function () {
console.log("Server is listening on: " + testPort);
done();
})
.on('error', function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
});
afterEach(function () { //Stop server after the test
testServer.close(function () {
console.log("closing server");
});
});
TEST here
});
describe('RESTApi : POST Methods', function () {
//Start the Server before the TESTS
before(function (done) {
testServer = app.listen(testPort, function () {
console.log("Server is listening on: " + testPort);
done();
})
.on('error', function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
});
after(function () { //Stop server after the test
testServer.close(function () {
console.log("closing server");
});
});
TEST here
});
