## API Tests
## Pre-requisites
### Pre-requisites
- MySQL is preferrable - however we fallback to SQLite
### Setup
```
cp scripts/.env.copy scripts/.env
open scripts/.env
## Setup
# Edit the following env variables
# `DB_USER` : mysql username
# `DB_PASSWORD` : mysql password
# `DB_HOST` : mysql host
# `DB_PORT` : mysql port
```
- All the tests are in `packages/nocodb` folder, which will be our working directory. Use the following command to get into that folder.
### Running tests
```
```bash
cd packages/nocodb
```
- Install the dependencies for `nocodb` package
```bash
npm install
```
### Environment variables
- Add your `env` file with the following command
```
cp tests/unit/.env.copy tests/unit/.env
```
- Open the `.env` file
```
open tests/unit/.env
````
- Configure the following variables
> DB_USER : mysql username </br>
> DB_PASSWORD : mysql password </br>
> DB_HOST : mysql host </br>
> DB_PORT : mysql port </br>
## How to run tests
```
npm run test:unit
```
### Notes
## Key points
#### Key points
- All individual unit tests are independent of each other. We don't use any shared state between tests.
- Test environment includes `sakila` sample database and any change to it by a test is reverted before running other tests.
- While running unit tests, it tries to connect to mysql server running on `localhost:3306` with username `root` and password `password`(which can be configured) and if not found, it will use `sqlite` as a fallback, hence no requirement of any sql server to run tests.
#### Walk through of writing a unit test
### Walk through of writing a unit test
We will create an `Table` test suite as an example.
##### Configure test
#### Configure test
We will configure `beforeEach` which is called before each test is executed. We will use `init` function from `nocodb/packages/tests/unit/init/index.ts`, which is a helper function which configures the test environment(i.e resetting state, etc.).
