# Unit Test
All tests are split in three folders:
- `test/unit` - Tests that cover functions that transform data in an non-trivial way. These tests simply `require()` a few files and run code in there, so they are very fast.
- `test/functional` - Tests that launch a verdaccio instance and perform a series of requests to it over http. They are slower than unit tests.
- `test/integration` - Tests that launch a verdaccio instance and do requests to it using npm. They are really slow and can hit a real npm registry. **This actually has not been tested or
Unit and functional tests are executed automatically by running `npm test` from the project's root directory. Integration tests are supposed to be executed manually from time to time.
We use `mocha` for all test.
## Script
To run the test script you can use either `npm` or `yarn`.
```
yarn run test
```
That will trigger only two first groups of test, unit and functional.
### Unit Test
The following is just an example how a unit test should looks like. Basically follow the `mocha` standard. Try to describe what exactly does the unit test in a single sentence in the header of the `it` section.
```javacript
'use strict';
let assert = require('assert');
let parseInterval = require('../../src/lib/utils').parseInterval;
describe('Parse interval', function() {
before(function(done) {
..... some magic stuff before the show
});
it('server should respond on /', function(done) {
... this is an async test
});});
```
### Functional Test
Funtional testing in verdaccio has a bit more of complextity that needs a deep explanation in order to success in your experience.
All starts in the `index.js` file. Let's dive in into it.
```javascript
// create 3 server instances
require('./lib/startup');
...
describe('functional test verdaccio', function() {
// recover the server instances
const server = process.server;
const server2 = process.server2;
const server3 = process.server3;
// On start initialise 3 verdaccio servers
before(function(done) {
Promise.all([
require('./lib/startup').start('./store/test-storage', '/store/config-1.yaml'),
require('./lib/startup').start('./store/test-storage2', '/store/config-2.yaml'),
require('./lib/startup').start('./store/test-storage3', '/store/config-3.yaml'),
]).then(() => {
done();
}).catch(function(error) {
console.error("error on start servers", error);
});
});
before(function() {
return Promise.all([server, server2, server3].map(function(server) {
// save a lsof -p output in order to compare on finish on finish all test
}));
});
..........
// here is the unique line you should add, the new functional test.
require('./my-functional-test.js')();
// On finish kill all server
after(function(done) {
Promise.all([check(server), check(server2), check(server3)]).then(function() {
done();
}, (reason) => {
assert.equal(reason, null);
done();
});
});
});
```
Perhaps this is not he best approach, but, it's how works right now. So, you just learnt how the bootstrap works and how to add a new group of functional tests.
#### The lib/server.js
The server class is just a wrapper that simulates a `npm` client and provides a simple API for the funtional test.
As we mention in the previous section, we are creating 3 process servers that are accessible in each process as `process.server;`, `process.server2;` and ``process.server3;`.
Using such reference you will be able to send request to any of the 3 instance running.
#### The lib/startup.js
The startup file is the responsable to create the 3 verdaccio instances and inject them to the `process.x` global variable.
#### The lib/request.js
This module holds a `PromiseAssert` which extends from `Promise` adding methods to handle all request from `lib/server.js`.
