nothing stored in brain

[yangeorget]

Hello,

I'd like to test the content of the brain but nothing seems to be stored in it when I run my tests.

packages.json:
{
"name": "...",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"author": "...,
"description": "...",
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha --compilers coffee:coffee-script/register tests"
},
"dependencies": {
"hubot": "latest",
"hubot-brain-inspect": "latest",
"hubot-redis-brain": "latest",
"log4js": "latest",
"natural": "latest"
},
"devDependencies": {
"bluebird": "latest",
"chai": "latest",
"coffee-script": "^1.9.3",
"coffeelint": "latest",
"hubot-test-helper": "latest",
"mocha": "latest"
},
"engines": {
"node": "6.1.0"
}
}

test.coffee:
Helper = require('hubot-test-helper')
helper = new Helper('./../scripts')

Promise = require('bluebird')
co = require('co')
expect = require('chai').expect

describe 'hello-world', ->

beforeEach ->
@room = helper.createRoom()

afterEach ->
@room.destroy()

context 'user says hi to hubot', ->
beforeEach ->
co =>
yield @room.user.say('alice', '@...bot hi')

yield @room.user.say('alice', '@...bot trip')

it 'should reply to user', ->
  expect(@room.messages).to.eql [
    ['alice', '@...bot hi']
    ['hubot', '@alice Hello!']
    ['hubot', '@alice Using this bot, you can search for a trip or publish a trip.']
    ['hubot', '@alice If lost: type Help or Stop.']
  ]

STDOUT:
...
[2016-05-16 22:05:15.249] [DEBUG] Message - log_user: brain {"users":{},"_private":{}}

It's important to consider the test script as a new version of your Hubot, everytime it's run. It doesn't use your existing Hubot or existing Brain, it's all fake and local to the test script only. So as part of your 'beforeEach' you also have to tell it what should be in the brain when you run it, if something is required.

i.e, with my PING command I require you to be an Admin. Thus, I need to load my auth.coffee, as it's part of the ping.coffee script. I also need to have an environmental variable for the auth.coffee file to know who is the Admin, and it also needs to check the brain for the user who is talking, get their ID, and check it against the admin list:

Helper = require('hubot-test-helper')

expect = require('chai').expect
helper = new Helper('../scripts/ping.coffee')

describe 'PING test', ->
  beforeEach ->
    @room = helper.createRoom()

    @room.robot.brain.userForName "Patrick",
      name: "Patrick"
      id: 1

    @room.robot.brain.userForId "Alice",
      name: "Alice"
      id: 2


    @room.robot.brain.userForId "Mike",
      name: "Mike"
      id: 3

    helper.constructor ('../scripts/auth.coffee')

  afterEach ->
    @room.destroy()

  it 'Set PING role for user', ->
    @room.user.say('Patrick', '@hubot I have ping role').then =>
      expect(@room.messages).to.eql [
        ['Patrick','@hubot I have ping role']
        ['hubot','OK, Patrick has the PING role.']]

  it 'ping user requests ping', ->
    @room.user.say('Patrick', '@hubot ping').then =>
      expect(@room.messages).to.eql [
        ['Patrick','@hubot ping']
        ['hubot','PONG']]
