javascript - Mocha & Chai - 测试异步函数在传递无效参数时是否抛出 TypeError？

问题描述

我有这个功能：

const DEFAULT_ROLES = [
  'Director',
  'Admin',
]; // Default Policy

async function aliasIsAdmin(alias, roles = DEFAULT_ROLES) {
  const url = 'https://foobarapi.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/foo/bar/'; 

  //How to test for this throw, for example?
  if (typeof alias !== 'string') {
    throw new TypeError(`Entity "alias" must be a string but got "${typeof alias}" instead.`); 
  }

  if (!Array.isArray(roles)) {
    throw new TypeError(`Entity "roles" must be an array but got "${typeof roles}" instead.`);
  } else if (roles.some((role) => typeof role !== 'string')) {
    throw new TypeError(`Entity "roles" must be an array of strings but got at least one element of type: "${typeof roles}" instead.`);
  }

  const { data } = (await axios.get(url + alias)); // Fetch roles that the alias holds.
  return data.some((role) => roles.includes(role));
}

如何使用 Mocha 和 Chai 测试传递无效参数时函数是否抛出？

例如，async函数aliasIsAdmin()应该抛出TypeError: Entity "alias" must be a string but got "undefined" instead.，因为alias参数是undefined针对特定调用的。

如果我做：

it('throws TypeError when alias param is not typeof "string"', async () => {
    assert.throws(async function () { await aliasIsAdmin() }, TypeError, /must be string/);
});

我得到：

aliasIsAdmin
    1) throws TypeError when alias param is not typeof "string"
(node:77600) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Entity "alias" must be a string 
but got "undefined" instead.
[... stacktrace continues ...]

  1) aliasIsAdmin
   throws TypeError when alias param is not typeof "string":
 AssertionError: expected [Function] to throw TypeError
  at Context.<anonymous> (test/permissions-manager-client.test.js:25:16)
  at processImmediate (internal/timers.js:439:21)
  at process.topLevelDomainCallback (domain.js:130:23)

我找不到带有async函数的示例，所以我想这就是它不起作用的原因。

有针对这个的解决方法吗？

解决方案

试着把它包起来，try/catch因为它在扔Error

it('throws TypeError when alias param is not typeof "string"', async () => {
    try {
        await aliasIsAdmin();
    } catch(error) {
        // Do your assertion here
        expect(error).to.be.an('error');
        expect(error.name).to.be.equal('TypeError');
        expect(error.message).to.be.equal('Entity "alias" must be a string but got "undefined" instead.');
    }
});

（或者）

编辑

it('throws TypeError when alias param is not typeof "string"', async () => {
    await expect(aliasIsAdmin()).to.be.rejectedWith(TypeError);
});

（最后）为了更完整的解决方案，可以测试一条消息：

it('throws TypeError when alias param is not typeof "string"', async () => {
    await expect(aliasIsAdmin()).to.be.rejectedWith(TypeError, 'Entity "alias" must be a string but got "undefined" instead.');
});
