How to unit test models, views and routes?

Dusting off #216 I wondered if there was any progress on it but also how are people going about testing their models, views and routes? Some documented guides would be nice and actually the Yeoman Generator should scaffold tests with the appropriate keystone helpers.

I am especially interesting in testing the models and views.

Have any of you written any keystone-helpers for testing?

Here’s how I’m testing routes in the universal-keystone-boilerplate:

import test from 'tape';
import request from 'supertest';
import keystone from 'test/helpers/keystone';

const app = keystone.app;
const route = '/';

test(`GET ${ route }`, assert => {
  assert.test(route, assert => {
    const msg = 'should not return an error';

    request(app)
      .get(route)
      .expect(200)
      .end(err => {
        assert.error(err, msg);
        assert.end();
      });
  });
});

From there, it’s easy to run assertions against the response body. We should also add cross-browser testing with something like Sauce Labs, but some minimal route testing is a good first step.

@webteckie has done a ton of work on this, so I’ll close this for now as we don’t need the issue to remind us to do it. 👍
