Unit Tests for Product Routes Part 2

Unit Tests for Product Routes Part 2

Learn how to test the endpoints for updating an existing and a non-existent product.

We'll cover the following...

Updating with garbage values

Scala
val expected StatusCode = Status.BadRequest
s"return$expectedStatusCode"in{ forAll("id") { id: ProductId =>
    Uri.fromString("/product/" + id.toString) match {
    case Left(_) => fail("Could not generate valid URI!") case Right(u) =>
    def service: HttpRoutes[IO] =
    Router("/" -> new ProductRoutes(emptyRepository).routes)
    val payload = scala.util.Random.alphanumeric.take(256).mkString val response: IO[Response[IO]] = service.orNotFound.run(
    Request(method = Method.PUT, uri = u) .withEntity(payload.asJson.noSpaces)
    )
    val result = response.unsafeRunSync
    result.status must be(expectedStatusCode) result.body.compile.toVector.unsafeRunSync must be(empty)
    } 
}

Here, we are testing our update product functionality with garbage JSON values. This test should return 400 Bad Request. However, if we run our test, we get an exception instead:

C++
[info]  when PUT /product/ID
[info]    when request body is invalid
[info]    - must return 400 Bad Request *** FAILED ***
[info]      InvalidMessageBodyFailure was thrown during property
[info]        Occurred when passed generated values (
[info]          id = 932682c9-1f9a-463a-84db-a0992d466aa3
[info]        )

So let’s take a deep breath and look at our code:

Scala
case req @ PUT -> Root / "product" / UUIDVar(id) => for{
    p <- req.as[Product]
    _ <- repo.updateProduct(p)
    r <- NoContent()
} yield r

As we can see, we have done no error handling at all. So maybe we should rewrite this a ...
