Usage

Create instance of easySQLTests

In order to create an instance of the module to use in your test follow this simple example:

var EasySQLTests = require('easy-sql-tests');

// ...

describe('my test suite', function() {
  var easySQLTests;

  var dbConfig = {
    user: "USERNAME",
    password: "PASSWORD",
    server: "MY_SERVER",
    database: "DB"
  };

  // ...

  // runs before all the tests
  before(function(done) {
    easySQLTests = new EasySQLTest(dbConfig);
  });

  // ...

});

Open and Close connection

Most of the times you will need to open connection once and close by the end of your tests.

var EasySQLTests = require('easy-sql-tests');

// ...

describe('my test suite', function() {
  var easySQLTests;

  var dbConfig = {
    user: "USERNAME",
    password: "PASSWORD",
    server: "MY_SERVER",
    database: "DB"
  };

  // ...

  // runs before all the tests
  before(function(done) {
    easySQLTests = new EasySQLTest(dbConfig);

    easySQLTests.connectionOpen(function(error) {
      if (error) {
        console.log(error);
      }

      done();
    });
  });

  // ...

  // runs after all the tests
  after(function() {
    easySQLTests.connectionClose();
  });

  // ...

});

Setup cleanup for the test suite

To ensure proper testing you might want to cleanup all temporarily generated data by your tests.
You can easily achieve that by defining a cleanupQuery and calling cleanup() function.

describe('my test suite', function() {
  var easySQLTests;

  // ...

  // runs before all the tests
  before(function(done) {
    easySQLTests = new EasySQLTest(dbConfig, {
      cleanupQuery: 'EXEC [test].[CLEANUP_LOGIC]'
    });

    easySQLTests.connectionOpen(function(error) {
      if (error) {
        console.log(error);
        return done();
      }

      // cleanup before running tests
      easySQLTest.cleanup(function(error) {
        if (error) {
          errorCallback(error);
        }

        done();
      });
    });
  });

  // ...

  // runs after every test case
  afterEach(function(done) {
    cleanup(done);
  });

  // ...

});

Run basic query test

it('My query test', function(done) {
  var assertionCallback = function(error, recordsets) {
    if (error) {
      return console.log(error);
    }

    // we returned back at least 1 table back
    expect(recordsets.length).to.equal(1);
  };

  var testSteps = [
    {
      query: 'SELECT * FROM [MY_TABLE]',
      assertionCallback: assertionCallback
    }
  ];

  easySQLTests.compileTest(testSteps, done);
});

Run basic stor proc test

it('My stor proc test', function(done) {
  var assertionCallback = function(error, recordsets) {
    if (error) {
      return console.log(error);
    }

    // we returned back at least 1 table back
    expect(recordsets.length).to.equal(1);
  };

  var testSteps = [
    {
      storProcName: '[sp].[STOR_PROC]',
      args: {
        intArg: 1,
        strArg: 'string'
      },
      assertionCallback: assertionCallback
    }
  ];

  easySQLTests.compileTest(testSteps, done);
});

Run multiple steps in the same test

If you need to run multiple steps to check that logic is correct then you can define multiple testSteps with their assertion callbacks.

it('Multiple steps inside the test', function(done) {
  var assertionCallback = function(error, recordsets) {
    if (error) {
      return console.log(error);
    }

    // assertions here
  };

  var assertionCallback2 = function(error, recordsets) {
    if (error) {
      return console.log(error);
    }

    // assertions here
  };

  var testSteps = [
    {
      storProcName: '[sp].[STOR_PROC]',
      args: {
        intArg: 1,
        strArg: 'string'
      },
      assertionCallback: assertionCallback
    },
    {
      query: 'SELECT * FROM [MY_TABLE]',
      assertionCallback: assertionCallback2
    },
    {
      storProcName: '[sp].[STOR_PROC2]',
      args: {},
      assertionCallback: assertionCallback2
    },
  ];

  easySQLTests.compileTest(testSteps, done);
});

Run multiple queries to pre-setup data before executing your test

Some of the tests require initial setup of the data or state in your testing database.

it('Prep queries before test', function(done) {
  var assertionCallback = function(error, recordsets) {
    // ...
  };

  var testSteps = [
    {
      queries: [
        "INSERT INTO [MY_TABLE] ([intVal],[strVal]) VALUES (1,'A');",
        "INSERT INTO [MY_TABLE] ([intVal],[strVal]) VALUES (2,'B');"
      ]
    },
    {
      storProcName: '[sp].[STOR_PROC]',
      args: {},
      assertionCallback: assertionCallback
    },
    // {
    //    another test step
    // },
    // {
    //    ...
  ];

  easySQLTests.compileTest(testSteps, done);
});

Setting up a fail callback when prep queries fail

You might want to capture and execute special logic in case one of the prep queries will fail.
In order to do so errorCallback is executed whenever one of those queries fails.

describe('my test suite', function() {
  var easySQLTests;

  var errorCallback = function(error) {
    console.error(error);

    // DO SOME EXTRA LOGIC HERE
  };

  // ...

  // runs before all the tests
  before(function(done) {
    easySQLTests = new EasySQLTest(dbConfig, {
      errorCallback: errorCallback
    });
  });

  // ...

});

Full Example

A full blown example with open/close connection, cleanup query after each test will look the following:

var chai = require('chai'),
    expect = chai.expect,
    EasySQLTests = require('easy-sql-tests'));

describe('my test suite', function() {

  var easySQLTests;

  var dbConfig = {
    user: "USERNAME",
    password: "PASSWORD",
    server: "MY_SERVER",
    database: "DB"
  };

  var errorCallback = function(error) {
    console.error(error);
  };

  var cleanup = function(done) {
    easySQLTests.cleanup(function(error) {
      if (error) {
        errorCallback(error);
      }

      done();
    });
  };

  // runs before all the tests
  before(function(done) {
    easySQLTests = new EasySQLTests(dbConfig, {
      cleanupQuery: 'EXEC [test].[CLEANUP_LOGIC]',
      errorCallback: errorCallback
    });

    easySQLTests.connectionOpen(function(error) {
      if (error) {
        errorCallback(error);
        return done();
      }

      cleanup(done);
    });
  });

  // runs after all tests in this block
  after(function() {
    easySQLTests.connectionClose();
  });

  // runs after every test case
  afterEach(function(done) {
    cleanup(done);
  });

  it('test #1 maybe basic select test', function(done) {

    var assertionCallback = function(error, recordsets) {
      if (error) {
        return console.error(error);
      }

      // we returned back at least 1 table back
      expect(recordsets.length).to.not.equal(0);
    };

    var testSteps = [
      {
        storProcName: '[sp].[STOR_PROC_SELECT]',
        args: {
          intArg: 1
        },
        assertionCallback: assertionCallback
      }
    ];

    easySQLTests.compileTest(testSteps, done);
  });

  it('test #2 maybe insert test', function(done) {

    var assertionCallback = function(error, recordsets) {
      if (error) {
        return console.error(error);
      }

      // we returned back at least 1 table back
      expect(recordsets.length).to.not.equal(0);
    };

    var assertionCallback2 = function(error, recordsets) {
      if (error) {
        return console.error(error);
      }

      // we returned back at least 1 table back
      expect(recordsets.length).to.not.equal(0);
      // we have at least one row
      expect(recordsets[0]).to.not.equal(0);
    };

    var testSteps = [
      {
        queries: [
          "INSERT INTO [MY_TABLE] ([intVal],[strVal]) VALUES (1,'A');",
          "INSERT INTO [MY_TABLE] ([intVal],[strVal]) VALUES (2,'B');"
        ]
      },
      {
        storProcName: '[sp].[STOR_PROC_INSERT]',
        args: {
          intArg: 1,
          strArg: 'string'
        },
        assertionCallback: assertionCallback
      },
      {
        query: 'SELECT * FROM [MY_TABLE]',
        assertionCallback: assertionCallback2
      }
    ];

    easySQLTests.compileTest(testSteps, done);
  });

  // ...
