How to run integration tests for client/server interaction

[Jonathon McKitrick]

I currently use lein test aliases to run server-side tests and client-side tests. But that currently means my client-side AJAX calls are either mocked or just return fixture data.

How can I run client-side tests which will actually call a running instance of the server to test live data?

There's a bunch of stuff under the goog.testing namespace.

Just to clarify, I don't think I want to mock those calls.  I believe it makes more sense to have the front-end call a running server back-end and get real data.  Can this be set up and executed from a test suite, short of running a server in one console, and then the clojurescript test suite in another?  That seems kludgy.

Ah sorry, I misread. Yeah nothing to suggest here other than staging environments.

Hi Jonathon,

I've encountered the same issue and so far my solution has been to run something like `lein ring server` on a terminal window while I run `lein test cljs` on the other. Not ideal! I see two solutions to this:

1. Use Selenium through https://github.com/semperos/clj-webdriver and do the integration tests from Clojure without calling any ClojureScript code.

2. Wrap the `lein ring server` command in the alias: [start-server,["test","cljs"],stop-server]]

I haven't got around to this. I'm concentrating on improving the ClojureScript-React testing experience first, but this will be my next step. Are you running your tests on PhantomJS?

That's exactly what I was thinking - an alias to start the server first.  I'm at the same place, working on tests for React apps.
