How to set values in a form automatically with Node.js

Question

I'm doing a lot of requests and want to see only the status code, there are areas that require to be authenticated to access which want to check.
This isn't a test end-to -end, would not be useful to use the Zombie.js or Nightwatch.js.

Is there any possibility to fill the login form and making requests go after?

So, you want to test you authentication logic against all your routes using an series of automated requests whose authentication values are derived from a login form? — Cristian Cavalli

I wish to make a request in /upload and verify that the return 200 if it isn't authenticated will be redirected. — Daniela Morais

You could do this with an external unit test. Essentially run two requests against your dev server instance. One with a valid authentication payload (e.g. a test account) and one without a authentication payload. To extract status codes from node http requests see: nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback — Cristian Cavalli

Have you seen Supertest?

npm install supertest --save-dev

You can use this to simulate request and check execution or status code.

var request = require('supertest')
  , express = require('express');

var app = express();

app.get('/user', function(req, res){
  res.send(200, { name: 'tobi' });
});

request(app)
  .get('/user')
  .expect('Content-Type', /json/)
  .expect('Content-Length', '20')
  .expect(200)
  .end(function(err, res){
    if (err) throw err;
  });

With Mocha:

describe('GET /users', function(){
  it('respond with json', function(done){
    request(app)
      .get('/user')
      .set('Accept', 'application/json')
      .expect('Content-Type', /json/)
      .expect(200, done);
  })
})
