Testing Uploaders

To verify that one of your uploaders is working as expected, the test.uploaders.upload() method can be utilized:

import test from '@joystick.js/test';

test.that('uploader works as expected', async (assert = {}) => {
  const user = await test.accounts.signup({
    email_address: 'tommy@callahanauto.com',
    password: 'chickenwings',
    metadata: {
      name: 'Tommy Callahan',
    },
  });

  const response = await test.uploaders.upload('profile_photo', {
    user,
    files: [test.utils.create_file(256, 'headshot.jpg', 'image/jpg')],
    input: {
      description: 'Tommy in a suit and tie.',
    }
  });
  
  assert.is(response[0]?.url === 'uploads/profile_photos/headshot.jpg', true);
});

Above, we start our test by creating a user who will be associated with the file being uploaded. Next, we call to our profile_photo uploader, assuming that the uploader will upload a profile photo to the uploads/profile_photos directory in our app. To keep our test stable, we use the test.utils.create_file() method to generate a mock .jpg file in memory with 256 bytes of data.

Additionally, we also pass an input object with a description of the photo being uploaded.
