supertest nodejs test get call

Question

I'm building an API and I'm trying to test it with mocha and supertest.

I'm correctly testing a POST call with this code:

it("Should generate a PDF based on the given data using API", function(done) {

    request(app)
    .post("/api/document/print")
    .send({tplName: "default", tplData: { title: "Testee", p1: "paragraph"}})
    .expect(200, done);

});

But when I try to test a GET request with this code:

it("Should get HTML of the selected template", function(done) {

    request(app)
    .get("/api/template/default/html")
    .expect(200, done);

});

The test fails, if I run my app and try it in Chrome I get the correct response (200).

What am I doing wrong?

`npm ERR! Test failed. See above for more details.` but above there's nothing. — Fez Vrasta, Jul 11 '14 at 14:45
What's your `scripts.test` command in package.json (and, if it's `make test`, what's `test` in your Makefile)? — Stuart P. Bentley, Jul 11 '14 at 14:49
Do you have a `test/mocha.opts` file, and if so what is its content? — Stuart P. Bentley, Jul 11 '14 at 15:08

Are these tests in the same file? Within the same describe block? Perhaps you could try this:

.expect(200) .end(function(err, res){ if (err) return done(err); done() });

@FezVrasta, why don't you try calling done outside of the expect call – Yousef Jul 14 '14 at 14:02
