I am trying a TDD approach on an user API. I wanted to integrated unit tests for my functions: userRegister and userLogin



This is my app.js



'use strict'

const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const passport = require('passport')
const users = require('../routes/users')


const app = express()
const port = 5000

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send({ msg: 'Test' })
})

//BodyParser Middleware
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
app.use(bodyParser.json())

//Passport middleware
app.use(passport.initialize())

//Initialize Routes

app.use('/api/users', users)

//Export app

module.exports = app


This is my userController.js:



'use strict'

const express = require('express')
const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs')
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken')
const keys = require('../../../../config/keys')
const passport = require('passport')
const status = require('http-status-codes')

const User = require('../../models/User')


module.exports.test = (req, res) => {
res.json({msg: 'Users works'})
}

module.exports.userRegister = (req, res) => {
User.findOne({ email: req.body.email})
.then(user => {
if(user)
return res.status(400).json({ userEmailerror: 'Email already
exists'})
else{
const newUser = new User({
name: req.body.name,
email: req.body.email,
password: req.body.password
})

newUser.save()
.then(user => res.json(user))
.catch(err => console.log(err))

}
})
}


this is my userController.test.js



'use strict'

const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const testUserDB = require('../../../config/keys').testUsersMongURI
mongoose.connect(testUserDB)

const userController = require('../modules/controllers/userController')
const User = require('../models/User')

describe('register new user', () => {
test('succesfully register a valid user', () => {
const newUser = new User({
name: 'test',
email: 'test@gmail.com',
password: 'test123'
})
const req = {body: {newUser}}

userController.userRegister(req).then(user => {
expect(user.name).toBe('test')
expect(user.email).toBe('test@gmail.com')

})


})

})


The script I use to run the test is:



"test": "jest --coverage",


I am new to Javascript and Full stack and the error I received is confusing me



 RUNS  src/user/__tests__/userController.test.js
FAIL src/user/__tests__/userController.test.js
register new user
× succesfully register a valid user (19ms)

● register new user › succesfully register a valid user

TypeError: Cannot read property 'then' of undefined

16 | })
17 | const req = {body: {newUser}}
> 18 | userController.userRegister(req).then(user => {

19 | expect(user.name).toBe('test')
20 | expect(user.email).toBe('test@gmail.com')
21 |

    The test is telling you the right thing: userController.userRegister doesn't actually return anything.
