I’m trying to test my package that needs a value from Meteor.settings. But when I start the test, I get this error:
Exception while invoking method 'sendData' TypeError: Cannot read property 'appKey' of undefined
My test:
it('sends event data in proper form', function () {
Meteor.settings = {
myApp: {
appKey: 'thisisafakeappkey',
},
};
const post = sinon.stub(HTTP, 'post');
trackEvent(event, data, user);
HTTP.post.restore();
}
The method:
Meteor.methods({
'sendData'({ payload }) {
const appKey = Meteor.settings.myapp.appKey;
if (!appKey) throw new Meteor.Error('No app key found in Meteor.settings.');
const withAppKey = Object.assign({ appKey }, payload);
HTTP.post(getRemoteUrl(), {
data: withAppKey,
}, (err, res) => {
if (err) console.log('err', err);
else console.log('res', res);
});
},
});
can you use sinon to stub the settings as well?
I thought Sinon only stubbed methods? Could you provide an example? And I thought a simple reassignment of a global variable would work with Meteor.settings
Hmm looking at your test I think you’re doing an integration test (i.e. client to server) am I guessing right? I guess you’d need to do something with chimp setup (I am not sure I haven’t gotten chimp to work correctly myself). I would recommend you think of it a different way if you’re unit testing, how about you just call the method directly?
import { resetDatabase } from 'meteor/xolvio:cleaner'
import ValidationError from 'meteor/mdg:validation-error'
import { assert, expect } from 'chai'
import { Tasks } from '/imports/api/tasks'
import './insertTask.run'
/* eslint-env mocha */
/**

assert(Tasks, 'unable to see sample collection')

Can you show us how your test and the sendData method relate to each other? Your code doesn’t show an association (does trackEvent call sendData?).
