We need to introduce Nock for backend integration testing. The goal is to stub outbound HTTP calls in one of the API example controllers (e.g., Foursquare, GitHub, Twitter, etc.) and verify that our backend logic handles responses correctly.
This first integration test should:
Use Mocha/Chai/Sinon as the test runner/assertion framework.
Use Nock to intercept one API endpoint and return a canned response.
Assert that the controller/service processes the mocked response as expected.
Acceptance Criteria:
Nock is installed and configured for use in integration tests.
A test file exists under test/integration/ that covers one API example controller.
The test runs without network access (all external calls are mocked).
The README Testing section is updated with instructions on:
How to run integration tests (npm run test:unit or similar).
How to add new Nock tests for additional API integrations.
Recap: Integration tests should validate backend logic in isolation, using Nock to simulate external APIs. Contributors can extend coverage by following the provided example.
