I'm working on an api route in a next.js app. The route posts to a mongodb atlas cluster via mongoose. I've tested the route with postman and it works properly, but I haven't been able to get a jest test to work. I'm using node-mocks-http to create a request and a response, passing them to the handler, then expecting the data to be on the response but I'm getting an empty string. I've tried using the ._getJSONdata method on response as well, but that gives an error: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input at JSON.parse ()
Here's the test:
import handler from '../../pages/api/apply';
import { createMocks } from 'node-mocks-http';
import regeneratorRuntime from 'regenerator-runtime';
describe('apply route', () => {
it('posts an application to mongo and returns 200', async () => {
const { req, res } = createMocks({
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(
{
form: {
first: 'test',
mi: 'String',
last: 'String',
pronoun: 'String',
dob: new Date('2020-12-14T08:00:00.000Z'),

},

}
)
});
await handler(req, res);
expect(res._getStatusCode()).toEqual(200);
expect(res._getJSONData()).toEqual({
form: {
first: 'test',
mi: 'String',
last: 'String',
pronoun: 'String',

},

});
})
})And here's the handler:
import { schema } from '../../lib/models/Application';
import { connect } from '../../utils/connect';
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
connect();
let Application;
try {
Application = mongoose.model('Application');
}
catch {
Application = mongoose.model('Application', schema);
}
export default (req, res) => {
const body = JSON.parse(req.body);
try {
Application.create({...body})
.then(application => {
res.send(application)
})
res.statusCode = 200
}
catch(error) {
console.error(error.message);
res.statusCode = 500
}
}Thanks in advance! Also this is my first question, let me know if more info is needed!
