RSpec Status

Rspec::GraphqlMatchers

Convenient rspec matchers for testing your graphql-ruby API/Schema.

Installation

gem 'rspec-graphql_matchers'

Usage

The matchers currently supported are:

  • expect(a_graphql_object).to have_a_field(field_name).of_type(valid_type)
  • expect(a_graphql_object).to implement(interface_name, ...)
  • expect(a_mutation_type).to have_a_return_field(field_name).returning(valid_type)
  • expect(a_mutation_type).to have_an_input_field(field_name).of_type(valid_type)
  • expect(a_field).to be_of_type(valid_type)
  • expect(an_input).to accept_argument(argument_name).of_type(valid_type)

Where a valid type for the expectation is either:

  • A reference to the actual type you expect;
  • [Recommended] A String representation of a type: "String!", "Int!", "[String]!" (note the exclamation mark at the end, as required by the GraphQL specs.

For objects defined with the legacy #define api, testing :property, :hash_key and metadata is also possible by chaining .with_property, .with_hash_key and .with_metadata. For example:

  • expect(a_graphql_object).to have_a_field(field_name).with_property(property_name).with_metadata(metadata_hash)
  • expect(a_graphql_object).to have_a_field(field_name).with_hash_key(hash_key)

Examples

Given a GraphQL object defined as

class PostType < GraphQL::Schema::Object
  graphql_name "Post"
  description "A blog post"

  implements GraphQL::Relay::Node.interface

  field :id, ID, null: false
  field :comments, [String], null: false
  field :isPublished, Boolean, null: true
  field :published, Boolean, null: false, deprecation_reason: 'Use isPublished instead'

  field :subposts, PostType, null: true do
    argument :filter, types.String, required: false
    argument :id, types.ID, required: false
    argument :isPublished, types.Boolean, required: false
  end
end

1) Test your type defines the correct fields:

describe PostType do
  subject { described_class }

  it { is_expected.to have_field(:id).of_type(!types.ID) }
  it { is_expected.to have_field(:comments).of_type("[String!]!") }
  it { is_expected.to have_field(:isPublished).of_type("Boolean") }

  # Check a field is deprecated
  it { is_expected.to have_field(:published).with_deprecation_reason }
  it { is_expected.to have_field(:published).with_deprecation_reason('Use isPublished instead') }
  it { is_expected.not_to have_field(:published).with_deprecation_reason('Wrong reason') }
  it { is_expected.not_to have_field(:isPublished).with_deprecation_reason }

  # The gem automatically converts field names to CamelCase, so this will
  # pass even though the field was defined as field :isPublished
  it { is_expected.to have_field(:is_published).of_type("Boolean") }
end

2) Test a specific field type with be_of_type matcher:

describe PostType do
  describe 'id' do
    subject { PostType.fields['id'] }

    it { is_expected.to be_of_type('ID!') }
    it { is_expected.not_to be_of_type('Float!') }
  end

  describe 'subposts' do
    subject { PostType.fields['subposts'] }

    it { is_expected.to be_of_type('Post') }
  end
end

3) For objects defined using the legacy #define api, you can also use with_property, with_hash_key and with_metadata:

PostTypeWithDefineApi = GraphQL::ObjectType.define do
  name "DefinedPost"

  interfaces [GraphQL::Relay::Node.interface]

  field :id, !types.ID, property: :post_id
  field :comments, !types[types.String], hash_key: :post_comments
  field :isPublished, admin_only: true
end

describe PostTypeWithDefineApi do
  it { is_expected.to have_a_field(:id).of_type('ID!').with_property(:post_id) }
  it { is_expected.to have_a_field(:comments).with_hash_key(:post_comments) }
  it { is_expected.to have_a_field(:isPublished).with_metadata(admin_only: true) }
end

4) Test the arguments accepted by a field with accept_argument matcher:

describe PostType do
  describe 'subposts' do
    subject { PostType.fields['subposts'] }

    it 'accepts a filter and an id argument, of types String and ID' do
      expect(subject).to accept_argument(:filter).of_type('String')
      expect(subject).to accept_argument(:id).of_type('ID')
    end

    it { is_expected.not_to accept_argument(:weirdo) }

    # The gem automatically converts argument names to CamelCase, so this will
    # pass even though the argument was defined as :isPublished
    it { is_expected.to accept_argument(:is_published).of_type("Boolean") }
  end
end

5) Test an object's interface implementations:

describe PostType do
  subject { described_class }

  it 'implements interface Node' do
    expect(subject).to implement('Node')
  end

  # Accepts arguments as an array and type objects directly
  it { is_expected.to implement(GraphQL::Relay::Node.interface) }
  it { is_expected.not_to implement('OtherInterface') }
end

6) Using camelize: false on field names

By default the graphql gem camelizes field names. This gem deals with it transparently:

class ObjectMessingWithCamelsAndSnakesType < GraphQL::Schema::Object
  graphql_name 'ObjectMessingWithCamelsAndSnakes'

  implements GraphQL::Relay::Node.interface

  field :me_gusta_los_camellos, ID, null: false

  # note the camelize: false
  field :prefiero_serpientes, ID, null: false, camelize: false
end

The following specs demonstrate the current behavior of the gem regarding fields:

describe ObjectMessingWithCamelsAndSnakesType do
  subject { described_class }

  # For a field name that was automatically camelized, you can add expectations
  # against both versions and we handle it transparently:
  it { is_expected.to have_a_field(:meGustaLosCamellos) }
  it { is_expected.to have_a_field(:me_gusta_los_camellos) }

  # However, when using camelize: false, you have to use the exact case of the field definition:
  it { is_expected.to have_a_field(:prefiero_serpientes) }
  it { is_expected.not_to have_a_field(:prefieroSerpientes) } # Note we're using `not_to`
end

This behaviour is currently active only on field name matching. PRs are welcome to reproduce it to arguments as well.
