[NEW TEST]some test cases for axios request? about testing-nestjs HOT 8 CLOSED

sorry to jump on this question but I am having an issue testing a service that uses the HTTPService so wondered if there was an example of the spec file?

Or can you give some advice do we need mock axios request for e2e test?

By "Axios" are you meaning the npm package, or the built in HttpService that is a wrapper around axios?

What's the difference between these two ?
Consider that our service depend on other http service where we use axios (or fetch) to get data from

What's the difference between these two?

The built in HttpService is a wrapper around axios and uses Observables, whereas axios the npm package is a direct http client that uses promises or callbacks, so the testing of the two is different.

How do your see this test going, are you using a package directly or a service as a wrapper? In my opinion one is easier to work with than the other when it comes to writing tests.

Well, i am using a npm package directly.

import axios  from 'axios';

axios.get(url).then(res => {... })

BTW:
🤣what a coincidence i just saw your answer in this stackflow question

If this isn't about mocking a provider in Nest, I would say that it falls out of the scope of what this repository is for. There are several tutorials and articles out there showing how you can use jest.mock() and jest.spyOn() along with other methods to mock npm packages in unit or e2e scopes, as Jest doesn't consider them different at all.
