Write tests

Until now there are no tests regarding the backend. Therefore, this issue focuses on writing tests in the backend

For that add a new folder "Tests"

The following tests are important:

  • check if docker container can be created
  • connection to MongoDB
  • check if authentication is working (skip for now)
  • pull schema from git
  • pull schema from git and save into db
  • pull existing resources from git
  • -> save the existing resources in DB
  • create new entry in every category (schema conform, no authentication)
  • create new entry in every category (schema conform, with authentication)
  • create new entry in every category (invalid, with authentication)
  • create new entry, then update this entry in every category (schema conform, authentication)
  • create new entry, then update this entry in every category (invalid, authentication)
  • create new entry, then update this entry in every category (invalid, no authentication)

Things that need to be done besides writing tests

  • Create an environment where tests can run - local and on gitlab pipeline -> best is would be docker
  • add the test suite into the gitlab pipeline -> should run on every commit

It is important not to reuse entries that you have created in an earlier test - tests should be written in a way that they can run without having dependencies on other tests
