javascript - How to test auth headers with Jest? - Stack Overflow

I am attempting to test the auth header when doing an api call:

import axios from 'axios';
import ApiClient from './apiClient';
import ApiService from './apiService';

jest.mock('./apiClient', () => {
  return {
    headers: { authorization: 'Bearer test token' },
    get: jest.fn()
  };
});

describe('apiService methods', () => {
  beforeAll(() => {
    ApiClient.get.mockImplementation((url: string) => {
      return Promise.resolve({ data: mockData });
    });
  });

  it('getArticles method call', () => {
    ApiService.getArticles(jest.fn(), 1, 3, 'latest', 'news', 'selectedNews');

    expect(axios.defaults.headersmon.Authorization).toBe(
      'Bearer test token'
    ); // THIS GIVES UNDEFINED SO THE TEST FAILS

    expect(ApiClient.get).toBeCalledWith(
      '/content?type=article&page=1&limit=3&sort=latest&facet=news&article_category=selectedNews'
    );
  });
});

This is what I have on ApiClient to request the header:

import axios from 'axios';
import envs from '../../config/index.json';

const client = axios.create({
  baseURL: envs.data.data.centralApi.baseUrl + apiVersion
});

client.defaults.headersmon.Authorization = `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem(
  `adal.access.token.key${envs.data.data.adal.clientId}`
)}`;

So I need to test that the Authorization header is properly send when the api call is performed.

What should I do?

What should I do?

• javascript
• reactjs
• unit-testing
• ecmascript-6
• jestjs

Since ApiService.getArticles is an asynchronous call, you should set your expectations within a then clause.

For example:

  it('getArticles method call', () => {
    ApiService.getArticles(jest.fn(), 1, 3, 'latest', 'news', 'selectedNews').then(() => {
        expect(axios.defaults.headers.mon.Authorization).toBe(
        'Bearer test token'
        ); // THIS GIVES UNDEFINED SO THE TEST FAILS

        expect(ApiClient.get).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
        '/content?type=article&page=1&limit=3&sort=latest&facet=news&article_category=selectedNews'
        );  // Note the use of "toHaveBeenCalledWith" instead of "toBeCalledWith"
    });
});

If your project supports ES6 syntax, you could also use async/await:

it('getArticles method call', async () => {

    await ApiService.getArticles(jest.fn(), 1, 3, 'latest', 'news', 'selectedNews');

    expect(axios.defaults.headers.mon.Authorization).toBe(
      'Bearer test token'
    ); // THIS GIVES UNDEFINED SO THE TEST FAILS

    expect(ApiClient.get).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
      '/content?type=article&page=1&limit=3&sort=latest&facet=news&article_category=selectedNews'
    );

});

You could also use a library like nock to mock HTTP requests in tests.

For instance:

npm install --save-dev nock

import nock from 'nock';
// ...your other imports

const baseUrl = 'https://some-base-url.';
const mockRequest = nock(baseUrl);

describe('apiService methods', () => {

  it('getArticles method call', () => {
    const url = "/content?type=article&page=1&limit=3&sort=latest&facet=news&article_category=selectedNews";

    mockRequest.matchHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer test token').get(url).reply(200, '');

    ApiService.getArticles(jest.fn(), 1, 3, 'latest', 'news', 'selectedNews').then(function (response) { 
        expect(response).to.equal('');
    }).catch((error) => {
        console.log('Incorrect header:', error);
    });

  });

});

If the header doesn't match, an error will be thrown.

One last thing - when you use jest.mock(), you're effectively overriding the file being imported. It's generally meant to override specific methods in the imported file with mock methods. It could be that by overriding apiClient you're not reaching the line of code where you set the default axios headers:

client.defaults.headers.mon.Authorization = `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem(
  `adal.access.token.key${envs.data.data.adal.clientId}`
)}`; // Not being reached because `apiClient` is being overriden

Drop a console log in there to make sure you're getting there.
