Day 13 of 30 Min Project 12/27/14
December 27th, 2014
Missed Days 10 - 12 due to Christmas and family stuff (12/24 - 12/26)
Today:
- Figure out why convict isn’t respecting my env variable for PORT so that everything runs right
- OK, one weird thing is that the settings file appears to get loaded before any of my process environment variables are defined, which would explain why it’s not showing up properly
- Hmm, can’t see how that’s actually happening :/
- It’s actually happening before gulp even gets going - weird
- To get around it for the moment we’ll just set the port and db in their own settings file to make it easier for the moment
- OK, did this export NODE_ENV=test && gulp
- Now it loads the right config
- But my tests are not running :/
- Hmm, so clear-test-data gets run (but the db isn’t there)
- but setup-test-data doesn’t appear to get run?
- Ok, finally got everything running as it should again! Next steps:
- Get tests going that use test data
- We have a few controllers/endpoints we need to test
- /token - gets a valid token for a logged in user
- /user - gets current user that is logged in via that token
- We have a few controllers/endpoints we need to test
