Missed Days 10 - 12 due to Christmas and family stuff (12/24 - 12/26)
Today:
Figure out why convict isn’t respecting my env variable for PORT so that everything runs right
OK, one weird thing is that the settings file appears to get loaded before any of my process environment variables are defined, which would explain why it’s not showing up properly
Hmm, can’t see how that’s actually happening :/
It’s actually happening before gulp even gets going - weird
To get around it for the moment we’ll just set the port and db in their own settings file to make it easier for the moment
OK, did this export NODE_ENV=test && gulp
Now it loads the right config
But my tests are not running :/
Hmm, so clear-test-data gets run (but the db isn’t there)
but setup-test-data doesn’t appear to get run?
Ok, finally got everything running as it should again!
Next steps:
Get tests going that use test data
We have a few controllers/endpoints we need to test
/token - gets a valid token for a logged in user
/user - gets current user that is logged in via that token
