Mocha - Unit Test

Mocha is most famous test framework for javascript..

test/create_test.js(test file):

const assert = require('assert');

describe('Creating records',()=>{
    it('saves a user',()=>{
        assert(1+1 ===2);
    });
});

package.json file:

{
  "name": "users",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "mocha"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "mocha": "^5.2.0",
    "mongoose": "^5.3.10",

Errors

(node:27919) DeprecationWarning: current URL string parser is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new parser, pass option { useNewUrlParser: true } to MongoClient.connect.

Solution: Check your mongo version

mongo --version
If you are using version >= 3.1.0 change you mongo connection file to ->

MongoClient.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/YourDB", { useNewUrlParser: true })
or your mongoose connection file to ->

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/YourDB", { useNewUrlParser: true });
Ideally, it's a version 4 feature but v3.1.0 and above is supporting it too. Check out MongoDB Github for details.

Error: TypeError: User is not a constructor Solution: Node is a case-sensetive language. Check your model or object..
