It s working great

nikolaiavich · Answer

Just need to find a strategy to run my integration tests

rp · Answer

You will need to setup the core for testing as well You can run it without being connected to the db

rp · Answer

And then send a login request which will create a session and then take the session cookies and add them to your request

nikolaiavich · Answer

I see so I can run individual resolvers as conventionally recommended

nikolaiavich · Answer

Like e2e I can run is what your saying

nikolaiavich · Answer

couldn t i just mock the session interface in theory < rp>

rp · Answer

You could You can override the session functions in session init > override functions > and then override createNewSession getSession etc etc to make it work

rp · Answer

You can override the createNewSession to return an empty session like shown here https github com supertokens supertokens auth react blob master examples with no session on sign up thirdpartyemailpassword api server index js L88

rp · Answer

And in the getSession function you could always just let it pass and return a session object similar to how you are doing above but with the userId that you care about

< rp> Do you have any other resources on setting up testing It d be great if there was a step by step guide to testing which outlined how to either run the core or mock the session functions I ve gotten ST to work in production but that broke all of my integration tests in the process It feels a bit overwhelming to have to figure out all the steps you outline

rp · Answer

You can checkout how we do testing if you visit our backend SDK tests Alternately I d be happy to walk you through it on a call Unfortunately we don t yet have docs for this yet
