Question 1

How do I test a POST endpoint with JSON body using SuperOak?

Accepted Answer

Use the .post() method with .set() for headers and .send() for the body, similar to SuperAgent. For example, await request.post('/user').set('Content-Type', 'application/json').send('{"name":"test"}').expect(200), as shown in the README example.

Question 2

What's the difference between SuperOak and SuperDeno?

Accepted Answer

SuperOak is a wrapper around SuperDeno specifically for Oak applications, adding automatic server management for Oak apps. SuperDeno is more general for any Deno HTTP server, requiring manual setup for Oak.

Question 3

Why does SuperOak give me a 'Property get does not exist' error?

Accepted Answer

This error occurs if you don't await the superoak() call, as it returns a promise. Always use await superoak(app) before calling methods like .get(), as explained in the FAQ to avoid type issues.

Question 4

Can I reuse a SuperOak instance for multiple requests in one test?

Accepted Answer

No, SuperOak instances are single-use and automatically close the server after assertions. Reusing them causes a 'Request has been terminated' error; create new instances for separate requests, per the FAQ warnings.

Question 5

Is SuperOak compatible with Deno's latest versions?

Accepted Answer

The README specifies a minimum Deno version (^2.3.3), but since the project is not maintained, it may not be updated for newer releases. Check the GitHub page for recent commits or issues.

Question 6

How to handle authentication in SuperOak tests?

Accepted Answer

Use the .set() method to add headers like Authorization, similar to SuperAgent. For example, await request.get('/protected').set('Authorization', 'Bearer token').expect(200), leveraging the SuperAgent API compatibility.
