Run automated tests
This example will help you implement and run automated tests with Forest Admin.
A typical use case, would be to run automated test on:
- your different smart actions
- your CRUD routes
to avoid testing them manually.
Testing CRUD routes
Testing smart actions

const axios = require('axios');
2
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

​
4
const FOREST_AUTH_SECRET = //The content of the FOREST_AUTH_SECRET from your app
5
// All the informations below are base64 encoded in your JWT token.
6
const user = {
7
id: //the id of the user to connect with,
8
email: //the email of the user to connect with,
9
firstName: //the first name of the user to connect with,
10
lastName: //the last name of the user to connect with,
11
team: //the team name (case sensitive) to connect to,
12
renderingId: //the rendering ID to connect to,
13
role: //the id of the role of the user
