Functional Testing without starting server

How do I send a request to KOA app without starting the server

I want to avoid app.listen(port)

I am looking for something like

yield koaApp.sendRequest("POST", "/login/user", {
   username : "svsf",
   passwd : "XXXX"
}, {
    someHeader: "header Value"
})

Yeah listen(0) seems to be how a lot of testing frameworks do it under the hood. Not sure there’s any downside to it.

if i start server using app.listen(port) it blocks and jasmine is not able to execute test cases ?

app.listen certainly does not block, I think the problem is elsewhere.

To answer your original question though, I think this might work:

app.callback()(req, res);

(you’ll probably want to store app.callback() somewhere after you’ve added in the middleware, calling that calls compose on the middleware)

app.callback() works like a charm. Many thanks.
