#Endpoint Testing | ||
# Endpoint testing | ||
|
||
AVA doesn't have an official assertion library for endpoints, but a great option is [`supertest-as-promised`](https://github.com/WhoopInc/supertest-as-promised). | ||
Since the tests run concurrently, it's a best practice to create a fresh server instance for each test because if we referenced the same instance, it could be mutated between tests. This can be accomplished with a `beforeEach` and `context`, or even more simply with a factory function: | ||
``` | ||
AVA doesn't have a builtin method for testing endpoints, but you can use any assertion library with it. Let's use [`supertest-as-promised`](https://github.com/WhoopInc/supertest-as-promised). | ||

Since tests run concurrently, it's best to create a fresh server instance for each test, because if we referenced the same instance, it could be mutated between tests. This can be accomplished with a `test.beforeEach` and `t.context`, or with simply a factory function: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
function makeApp() { | ||
const app = express(); | ||
app.post('/signup', signupHandler); | ||
return app; | ||
const app = express(); | ||
app.post('/signup', signupHandler); | ||
return app; | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Next, just inject your server instance into supertest. The only gotcha is to use a promise or async/await syntax instead of supertest's `end` method: | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```js | ||
test('signup:Success', async t => { | ||
t.plan(2); | ||
const app = makeApp(); | ||
const res = await request(app) | ||
.post('/signup') | ||
.send({email: 'ava@rocks.com', password: '123123'}) | ||
t.is(res.status, 200); | ||
t.is(res.body.email, 'ava@rocks.com'); | ||
t.plan(2); | ||
|
||
const res = await request(makeApp()) | ||
.post('/signup') | ||
.send({email: 'ava@rocks.com', password: '123123'}); | ||
|
||
t.is(res.status, 200); | ||
t.is(res.body.email, 'ava@rocks.com'); | ||
}); | ||
``` |
