Add Test Cases to Slash Commands in Bolt Apps

[SyedSibtainRazvi]

Description

I am working on a Slack app for collecting Standups. And have two branches, main and production. And both branches are deployed and linked with our Slack as separate apps"BOT-Dev" and "BOT-PROD"
We are using two separate slash commands for both of the bots and need to add test cases for the Slash Command.
What are the suitable ways to add test cases to our slash commands file in the bolt app?
Please find the screenshots attached below and let me know if you need any additional details.

Hi, @SyedSibtainRazvi! Thanks for writing in! 🙌

From this open issue (#638): currently, Bolt JS does not have any official testing support, but what you could do is use mocking within tests to mock the environments and payloads you need and verify the slash commands are working as expected.

You could find a way to mock the different development and production environments, verify that those are calling the correct slash commands, and then also run tests to verify those dev and prod slash commands are exhibiting expected behavior by verifying the payloads. While we don't have built-in Bolt JS test support, you can view our current unit tests for the Bolt JS framework to get inspiration for how you might be able to test via mimicking payloads that Slack might send.

Aside from the above, this issue (#383) includes some community discussion about testing Bolt JS apps that you might also find helpful! I hope this helps! 🎉
