Testing

Server

Unit tests

Unit are run by calling npm run test from the server/ directory. You need to run npm install (in server/) before once.

End to end tests

The e2e tests can be run by first starting up a test production environment via:

make e2e

Before you can run the tests, you need to run the following commands once:

• npm install (in e2e/)
• make open-api (in the project root /)

Once the test environment is running, the e2e tests can be run via:

cd e2e/
npm test

The tests check various things including:

• Authentication and authorization
• Query param, body, and url validation
• Response codes
• Thumbnail generation
• Metadata extraction
• Library scanning
