Testing best practice

[Edweis]

What is the best practice to test graphql-yoga server ? I'd like to use chai testing like in express for instance. Is it possible ?

Found it.
You can export the app const app = server.start(...) and in the test wait for it to be finished :

const chai = require('chai');
const chaiHttp = require('chai-http');
const appPromise = require('../server');
let app = null;

const { expect } = chai;
chai.use(chaiHttp);

beforeAll(async () => {
  app = await appPromise;
});

describe('Health', () => {
  it.skip('should validate health check', async () => {
    expect(1).to.equals(1);
    // await checkHealth(false);
  });

  it('should get bricks', async () => {
    const res = await chai
      .request(app)
      .post('/')
      .send({ query: '{ feed { id }}' });
    expect(res).to.have.status(200);
    expect(res.body.data.feed).to.exist;
  });
});

@Edweis Do you by any chance have an example of how to do a mutation with data?

Instead of: .send({ query: '{ feed { id }}' }); use: .send({ query: `mutation { ${mutation} }` })

Hey @Edweis @dunatron @Knautiluz we @the-guild-org are the new maintainers for this project. We are working actively on v2 to address all the issues. Testing is a critical part of software development and the new Yoga Server comes with built in way to test https://www.graphql-yoga.com/docs/testing. You can try out the beta release @graphql-yoga/node@beta and give us feedback. Thanks!
