Meteor login method test

1

Hi everyone,
I’m writing unit test for my Meteor 1.4.2 application, where few of my methods requires a user need to be logged in before processing.
How should I test my methods?

So far, I’ve written a test case to create a new user and login with that user

  describe('login method', function () {
    let logingKey;
    beforeEach(function () {
      Meteor.users.remove({});
      const createUser = Meteor.server.method_handlers['registerUser'];
      let params = {
        username: 'testUsername'
      }
      res = createUser.apply({}, [params]);
      logingKey = res.key;
    });

    it('can provide authentication', function () {
      const loginUser = Meteor.server.method_handlers['login'];
      let params = {
        key: logingKey
      }
      console.log(params);
      loginUser.apply({}, [params]);
    });

where I’ve written a custom login handler to login with the generated key which works fine with application, but in test results I’m getting following error.

Error: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined

What could be wrong here? any suggestions are welcome.
