Write acceptance tests and component tests for Ember code in Discourse

My prior experience in writing qunit tests was based on the other howto

i.e. “acceptance” was simply

acceptance("Purple Tentacle", { loggedIn: true });

I have seen in other plugins where the test code contained “fake” JSON to test against. I wasn’t sure if that would be as good as testing against “real” data, so I wanted to avoid doing it that way.

The six tests passed, but I got a couple of rather angry looking “unhandled request” errors.

After finding an example of some “setup” code, I tried it and it solved the errors.

github.com

Mittineague/discourse-newpage/blob/master/test/javascripts/acceptance/discourse-newpage-test.js.es6#L7-L18

    
      
          setup() {
            const response = (object) => {
              return [
                200,
                {"Content-Type": "text/html; charset=utf-8"},
                object
              ];
            }
            server.get('/newpage', () => {
              return response({ valid: [] });
            })
          }

It works, but I’m not really sure why, nor why it’s needed for some but not for the majority of plugins I’ve seen that have qunit tests.
