How to test jobs using meteortesting:mocha and chai? about meteor-job-collection HOT 1 CLOSED

Well, when thinking about this, you shouldn't test the chaining itself. I personally take the code, executed in a job, as an exportable function and test it. If I would have several chained jobs, I would take each part and test it as one individual unit. The combination then has to work like in a micro-service environment.

Imagine, you have a ton of several applications - each of them in your case is a job, happen to be written in the same language and framework - but this could also be different, right? At least when thinking of it as micro-services. You'd then try a superrior unit to test this. This could be done by having your application running in a production-like environment and testing the outcome on the UI, which is what we're doing. A useful tools for this is Chimpy which also has a special meteor integration.

Hope this helps.
