Passport.js stub for testing – Based on Jonathon Kresner's (@jkresner) post.

Written with the idea of being simple to use.

I've been writing my Express API tests with Mocha and Supertest, so here is an example:

passportStub = require 'passport-stub'
request      = require 'supertest'
app          = require '../app'

passportStub.install app
req = request app

describe 'GET /admin', ->

  it 'responds with 401 if not logged in', (done) ->
    req.get('/admin').expect(401).end done

  it 'responds with 200 when logged in', (done) ->
    passportStub.login username: 'john.doe'
    req.get('/admin').expect(200).end done

The user you log in with can be whatever user your app would expect to deal with. It could be a mongoose model, for example.

• .install(app)
• .uninstall()
• .login(user)
• .logout()

Although I didn't use, I've included a few other functions that might be useful. The code itself is pretty simple, so take a look at it.

This module was written in coffee because that was what I was currently using in a project. Feel free to suggest improvements and even a rewrite in javascript.

passport-stub's versions are not backwards compatible, so check this list out (hopefully it won't grow any longer):

• For passport#<0.2.0, use passport-stub#0.1.x;
• For passport#>=0.2.0 and express#<4.0.0, use passport-stub#0.2.0;
• For express#>=4.0.0 and passport#>=0.2.0, use passport-stub#1.0.0;
• Phew!

Bottom line: try to keep your deps updated. :-)
