im using an http request function as the handler function in middy and then use the ssm middleware to fetch some ssm parameters before initiating the http request. like this:
const makeThirdPartyServiceRequest = middy(async ({ params }) => {
logger.info(`SENDING Request to ${endpoint} API`)
const url = `https://someurltoathirdpartyservice`
const options = {
method: 'POST',
body: params
}
return helpers.makeRequest(url, options)
})
makeThirdPartyServiceRequest.use(ssm(......))
However in my jest unit test Im trying to mock makeThirdPartyServiceRequest and explicitly say it should resolve to a value:
jest.mock('../src/thirdPartyService', () => ({
__esModule: true,
default: {
...(jest.requireActual('../src/thirdPartyService') as { default: {} }).default,
makeThirdPartyServiceRequest: jest.fn()
}
}))
export {}
import thirdPartyService from '../src/thirdPartyService'
And then in the test i say:
describe('makeThirdPartyServiceRequest()', () => {
it('should makeThirdPartyServiceRequest', async () => {
// Given
// })
const mockedThirdPartyServiceRequest = mocked(thirdPartyService.makeThirdPartyServiceRequest).mockResolvedValue({})
// When
const result = await thirdPartyService.makeThirdPartyServiceRequest(something)
// Then
expect(mockedThirdPartyServiceRequest).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)
expect(mockedThirdPartyServiceRequest.mock.calls[0][0].params.toString()).toBe(expectedParams)
})
})
However for some reason the middy middleware is still being invoked, which i clearly dont want and i have tried to mock away... what am i doing wrong?
You need to mock middy instead, to make it becomes a useless function. That function recipe a function as a parameter and return that parameter.
import thirdPartyService from '../src/thirdPartyService'
jest.mock('@middy/core', () => {
return (handler) => {
return {
use: jest.fn().mockReturnValue(handler), // ...use(ssm()) will return handler function
}
}
})
describe('thirdPartyService()', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
jest.spyOn(helpers, 'makeRequest') // spy on helpers unit
})
describe('makeThirdPartyServiceRequest', () => {
it('should make a request with correct parameters', async () => {
// Given
const url = `https://someurltoathirdpartyservice`
const params = 'any params'
const apiResponse = 'any response'
mocked(helpers.makeRequest).mockResolvedValue(apiResponse)
// When
const actual = await thirdPartyService.makeThirdPartyServiceRequest(params)
// Then
expect(actual).toBe(apiResponse)
expect(helpers.makeRequest).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
url,
{
method: 'POST',
body: params
}
)
})
})
})
hoangdv answer is also valid, but i will answer as well how i continued.
if you completely want to mock middy you mock like following:
jest.mock('@middy/core', () => {
return (handler) => {
return {
use: jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => {
// ...use(ssm()) will return handler function
return {
before: jest.fn().mockReturnValue(handler)
}
})
}
}
})
However if you dont want to completely mock middy, you can instead mock the async getInternal function from middy/util called in before like this:
jest.doMock('@middy/util', () => ({
...(jest.requireActual('@middy/util') as {}),
getInternal: jest.fn()
}))
import { getInternal } from '@middy/util'
and then in the test
describe('thirdPartyService()', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
jest.spyOn(helpers, 'makeRequest') // spy on helpers unit
})
describe('makeThirdPartyServiceRequest', () => {
it('should make a request with correct parameters', async () => {
// Given
const url = `https://someurltoathirdpartyservice`
const params = 'any params'
const apiResponse = 'any response'
mocked(getInternal).mockResolvedValue({
twilioSecrets: { accountSid: 'someSID', serviceId:
'someServiceID', token: 'someToken' }
})
mocked(helpers.makeRequest).mockResolvedValue(apiResponse)
// When
const actual = await thirdPartyService.makeThirdPartyServiceRequest(params)
// Then
expect(actual).toBe(apiResponse)
expect(helpers.makeRequest).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
url,
{
method: 'POST',
body: params
}
)
})
})
})
this will mock the async part of middy.
