I need to generate a Jwt Bearer Token for my e2e tests. As the process it a bit tedious, and because that's not what I am trying to test, I'd like to bypass it by directly getting instead of going through the 2FA real process.
Unfortunately I keep getting the following error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'sign' of undefined

151 | function getBearerToken(candidateId: number) {
> 152 | return jwtService.sign({ sub: candidateId.toString() })

153 | }
154 | })
155 | })

at Object.<anonymous> (app.e2e-spec.ts:127:21)
describe('Bookmarks Module', () => {
let bearerToken: string
let jwtService: JwtService
beforeEach(() => {
bearerToken = getBearerToken(1)
jwtService = new JwtService({
secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET,
signOptions: { expiresIn: '1h' },
})
})
test('/v1/bookmarks/ (GET) [auth]', () => {
return expectCorrectAuthenticatedGetResponse(
`${V1_PREFIX}/bookmarks/`,
bearerToken
)
})
test('/v1/bookmarks/{id} (POST) [auth]', () => {
const DATA = { offerId: 19 }
return expectCorrectAuthenticatedPostResponse(
`${V1_PREFIX}/bookmarks/${DATA.offerId}`,
DATA,
bearerToken
)
})
function getBearerToken(candidateId: number) {
return jwtService.sign({ sub: candidateId.toString() })
}
})
You call
jwtService.sign()
ingetBearerToken()
which is itself called inbeforeEach()
, just beforejwtService
is initialized. SojwtService
is stillundefined
when you try to use it. You should invert the lines inbeforeEach()
:
