globalSetup() / setup()

globalSetup() / setup()

globalSetup(options)
Set any global parameters, headers, etc. that need to be sent with each HTTP request that Frisby sends out.
Most people use this for global headers, authentication, cookies, etc.
Usage Examples
Headers
1
const frisby = require('frisby');
2
​
3
// Do setup first
4
frisby.globalSetup({
5
  request: {
6
    headers: {
7
      'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Buffer.from("username:password").toString('base64'),
8
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
9
    }
10
  }
11
});
12
​
13
// Any global setup is automatically applied to every test
14
it ('uses globalSetup for every test after it is called', function () {
15
  return frisby
16
    .get('http://api.example.com')
17
    .expect('status', 200);
18
});

setup(options)
The setup method is similar to globalSetup, but it only affects a single specific test that it is attached to.
NOTE: The setup call MUST COME BEFORE calls to get, post, fetch, etc.
Usage Examples
1
const frisby = require('frisby');
2
​
3
// The 'setup' function only affects a single test
4
it ('runs setup only for a single test', function () {
5
  return frisby
6
    .setup({
7
      request: {
8
        headers: {
9
          'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Buffer.from("username:password").toString('base64')
10
        }
11
      }
12
    })
13
    .get('http://api.example.com')
14
    .expect('status', 200);
15
});
