ReDBox Automated Tests

Running Tests

ReDBox utilizes two main test types:

• Integration Tests: Written for Mocha, assess the services' integration.
• Postman API Tests: Conducted with Newman to evaluate API functionalities.

Before running tests, the packages need to be installed and typescript compiled.

Mocha Tests:

To run the mocha tests

npm run test:mocha

Note: for the DOI tests to pass you will need to have Datacite Fabrica credentials and these need to be set to the following environment variables:

• datacite_username: Your datacite username
• datacite_password: Your datacite password
• datacite_doiPrefix: The DOI prefix

If these aren't set, the DOI tests will be skipped.

Postman Tests:

To run the postman tests

npm run test:postman

Note: if you receive the error below, it's because you have previously run the application for development. To fix, simply delete the support/development/.dev directory and try again.
