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.
const frisby = require('frisby');
const Joi = frisby.Joi; // Frisby exposes Joi for convenience
describe('Posts', function () {
it('should return all posts and first post should have comments', function () {
return frisby.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
.expect('status', 200)
.expect('jsonTypes', '*', {
userId: Joi.number(),
id: Joi.number(),
title: Joi.string(),
body: Joi.string()
})
.then(function (res) { // res = FrisbyResponse object
let postId = res.json[0].id;
// Get first post's comments
// RETURN the FrisbySpec object so function waits on it to finish - just like a Promise chain
return frisby.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/' + postId + '/comments')
.expect('status', 200)
.expect('json', '*', {
postId: postId
})
.expect('jsonTypes', '*', {
postId: Joi.number(),
id: Joi.number(),
name: Joi.string(),
email: Joi.string().email(),
body: Joi.string()
});
});
});
});
