A simple test harness for elasticsearch functional testing

Install

npm install elastictest --save

Example Script

var suite = new elastictest.Suite();

var doc = {
  index: suite.props.index,
  type: 'mytype',
  id: '1',
  body: {
    foo: 'bar'
  }
};

suite.action( function( done ){
  suite.client.index( doc, done );
});

suite.assert( function( done ){
  suite.client.count({
    index: doc.index,
    type: doc.type
  }, function( err, res ){
    t.equal( res.count, 1, 'record count' );
    done();
  });
});

suite.run();

Usage

Create a new test suite

var suite = new elastictest.Suite();

Perform an 'action' on the database before running assertions

suite.client is an instance of the elasticsearch javascript client, so you can do anything that is supported by that API.

You must call done() when your async operations are complete. You may add as many suite.action sections as you wish per suite.

note the test suite will handle refreshing your index so that the data is up-to-date before the assert operations are run.

suite.action( function( done ){
  suite.client.index( {}, done );
});

Run an 'assert' on the database to test if the actions were successful

suite.assert allows you to run assertion code against the responses from suite.client calls to the database. You can use whatever assertion library you wish as long as it handles the exception catching. In the example below I am using t.equals from npm tape. A full example can be found in ./test.

You must call done() when your async operations are complete. You may add as many suite.assert sections as you wish per suite.

suite.assert( function( done ){
  suite.client.count({
    index: doc.index,
    type: doc.type
  }, function( err, res ){
    t.equal( res.count, 1, 'record count' );
    done();
  });
});

Run the suite

You may provide an optional_callback function to run once the suite is complete. This is useful for alerting your testing framework that work is done for this unit of work.

suite.run( optional_callback );

Use a custom schema when creating your test index

You may provide a schema property when creating your Suite, this will be used whenever creating new indeces.

var suite = new elastictest.Suite( null, { schema: custom_schema });
