How does superdeno intercept redirects?

Is there a way to test for redirects?

When I do something along the lines of:

    await superdeno(testApiUrl)
    .post('/api/to/endpoint/that/triggers/a/redirect')
    .expect((response, error) => {
       assertEquals(response.status, 302);
        assertEquals(response.headers.includes('location: http://google.com/'), true);
    });

This errors out and insists that the final state is 200, not 302.

I’ve noticed that the response.headers capture those of the final destination page rather than the actual API redirect state. Is there a way to go one step before the final destination URL?

I have also tried

    await superdeno(testApiUrl)
    .post('/api/to/endpoint/that/triggers/a/redirect')
    .expect(302)
    .expect((response, error) => {
        assertEquals(response.headers.includes('location: http://google.com/'), true);
    });

but to no effect.

Thanks heaps (again great library).

Awesome, this works brilliantly. Thanks a lot for the effort!

@avihavai, @viztastic support for a .redirects(n) API (as per superagent and supertest) has been released in 3.0.0.

I hope this helps with any missing test coverage you might have! Please raise new issues if you have any problems with it 🙃
