How to mock a middleware in supertest?

问题

I want to test if the middleware in app.js is called. Although I mock the module work.js, it still runs the original code.

app.js

const work = require('./work')
const express = require('require')

const app = express()
  .use(work)
  .use(...)
  .get(...)


module.exports = app

work.js

function work(req, res, next){...}

module.exports = work

app-test.js

const supertest = require('supertest')
const app = require('../app')

test('test middleware in app.js', async(done) => {
  jest.mock('../work', () => jest.fn((req, res, next) => next()))

  const agent = () => supertest(app)
  const work = require('../work')  

  await agent()
    .get('/')
    .set(...)

  expect(work).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)  // Error

  done()
})

I expect that work.js will be called once. Is there anything wrong? Should I change my test?

回答1:

Below example works for me:

app.js:

const work = require('./work');
const express = require('express');

const app = express();

app.use(work).get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.sendStatus(200);
});

module.exports = app;

work.js:

function work(req, res, next) {
  next();
}

module.exports = work;

app.spec.js:

jest.mock('./work', () => jest.fn((req, res, next) => next()));

const supertest = require('supertest');
const app = require('./app');
const work = require('./work');

let agent;
let server;
beforeEach(done => {
  server = app.listen(4000, err => {
    if (err) return done(err);

    agent = supertest(server);
    done();
  });
});

afterEach(done => {
  server && server.close(done);
});

describe('app', () => {
  test('test middleware in app.js', async () => {
    const response = await agent.get('/');
    expect(response.status).toBe(200);
    expect(work).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
  });
});
