How do i test for http status code 500 in sinon?












0















I have the following code in my main class in nodejs.



I am doing unit testing using sinon.



How do I test for this portion of the code
res.status(error.status || 500);



I am able to test the error.status portion by call an invalid url which leads to the error handling above, 404, but how do i get to the 500 flow?



main.js:



...
//importing route
var routes = require('./api/rest/webservRest');

//register the route
routes(app);

//reached here throw error 404, means no routes to handle inc. request
app.use((req, res, next) => {
const error = new Error('Not found');
error.status = 404;

next(error);
});

// catch errors
app.use((error, req, res, next) => {

log.error("ERROR - " + req.url + " - " + error.message);

res.status(error.status || 500);
res.json({
error: {
message: error.message
}
});
});

//start application
module.exports = app.listen(port, () => {
log.info('Module - RESTful API server started on: ' + port);
});

          500 will be caught if error.status return falsy value such as false or undefined.



          So perhaps you can stubing the error using Sinon as below:



          const error = {
          status: false,
          message: 'something'
          }


          or



          const error = {
          message: 'something'
          }


          Hope it helps
