Supertest converts number query params to string

Hello, I’m having an issue with supertest when I send a number param by query. The server catches the params as string.

PD: I’ve got a transform in the DTO to convert any string value into a number.

this is my test

it('should retrieve all the template with the params the limit,page', async (done) => {
    // Arrange
    let params = {
      limit: 10,
      page: 1
    }

    // Act
    const response = await supertest(app.getHttpServer())
      .get("/email/get")
      .set('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=utf-8')
      .set("Content-Lenght", '51')
      .set('Authorization', 'bearer ' + globalToken)
      .query({ limit: params.limit, page: params.page })
  });

Any help ?

Jumping in here for another opinion, but I thought query params were always parsed as strings and it’s up to you to convert them in your route handlers.

Querystring is a string. Your server code should parse keys in the querystring that should be converted to numbers manually.
