Nested Tests

Sometimes you have some HTTP calls that are dependent on others, like creating a new item and then checking to ensure that it exists and is returned from the API.
Here is a more complex test example with nested dependent Frisby tests with Frisby's Promise-style `then` method.
1
const frisby = require('frisby');
2
const Joi = frisby.Joi; // Frisby exposes Joi for convenience
3
​
4
describe('Posts', function () {
5
  it('should return all posts and first post should have comments', function () {
6
    return frisby.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
7
      .expect('status', 200)
8
      .expect('jsonTypes', '*', {
9
        userId: Joi.number(),
10
        id: Joi.number(),
11
        title: Joi.string(),
12
        body: Joi.string()
13
      })
14
      .then(function (res) { // res = FrisbyResponse object
15
        let postId = res.json[0].id;
16
​
17
        // Get first post's comments
18
        // RETURN the FrisbySpec object so function waits on it to finish - just like a Promise chain
19
        return frisby.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/' + postId + '/comments')
20
          .expect('status', 200)
21
          .expect('json', '*', {
22
            postId: postId
23
          })
24
          .expect('jsonTypes', '*', {
25
            postId: Joi.number(),
26
            id: Joi.number(),
27
            name: Joi.string(),
28
            email: Joi.string().email(),
29
            body: Joi.string()
30
          });
31
      });
32
  });
33
});
