Testing sails.socket with npm checkout

I am using sails.js v0.11.0 and I am just doing unit testing. I can test normal controllers over HTTP requests, but I don't know where to start testing the same calls over socket requests. If you have a good resource or sample test using sockets that would be fantastic.

var assert = require('assert');
var request = require('supertest');

describe('Auth Controller', function () {

  describe('#callback()', function () {

    it ('passport-local authentication should succeed if email and password valid', function (done) {

      request(sails.hooks.http.app)
        .post('/auth/local')
        .send({
          identifier: 'existing.user@email.com',
          password: 'admin1234'
        })
        .expect(200)
        .end(function(err) {
          done(err);
        });

    });

    it ('passport-local authentication should fail and return error code if email is invalid', function (done) {

      request(sails.hooks.http.app)
        .post('/auth/local')
        .send({
          identifier: 'invalid@email.com',
          password: 'admin1234'
        })
        .expect(403)
        .end(function(err) {
          done(err);
      });

    });

    it ('passport-local authentication should fail and return error code if password is invalid', function (done) {

      request(sails.hooks.http.app)
        .post('/auth/local')
        .send({
          identifier: 'existing.user@email.com',
          password: 'invalid1235'
        })
        .expect(403)
        .end(function(err) {
          done(err);
      });

    });

    //Test with Web Sockets from sails.io
    describe('sails.socket', function () {

      describe('With default settings', function() {

        describe('once connected, socket', function () {

          it ('passport-local authentication via web socket should succeed if email and password valid', function (done) {

            //Socket version?
            request(sails.hooks.http.app)
              .post('/auth/local')
              .send({
                identifier: 'existing.user@email.com',
                password: 'admin1234'
              })
              .expect(200)
              .end(function(err) {
                done(err);
              });

          });

          it ('passport-local authentication via web socket should fail and return error code if email is invalid', function (done) {

            //Socket version?
            request(sails.hooks.http.app)
              .post('/auth/local')
              .send({
                identifier: 'invalid@email.com',
                password: 'admin1234'
              })
              .expect(403)
              .end(function(err) {
                done(err);
              });

          });

          it ('passport-local authentication via web socket should fail and return error code if password is invalid', function (done) {

            //Socket version?
            request(sails.hooks.http.app)
              .post('/auth/local')
              .send({
                identifier: 'existing.user@email.com',
                password: 'invalid1235'
              })
              .expect(403)
              .end(function(err) {
                done(err);
            });

          });

        });

      });
    });

  });

});

I can't pretend to be this, but if you stumbled upon this question and are looking for an answer here.

Declare io as global in bootstrap:

// test/boostrap.test.js

var client = require('../assets/js/dependencies/sails.io.js');

global.io = new client(require('socket.io-client'));
io.sails.url = 'http://localhost:1337/';

      



Then call them so that they are used.

//test/callbacks.test.js
describe('socket request', function () {

 it ('passport-local authentication should succeed if email and password valid', function (done) {

  io.socket.post('/auth/local', { identifier: 'existing.user@email.com', password: 'admin1234' }, function (data, jwres) {
  assert.equal(jwres.statusCode, 200);
  done();  
 });
});

I found that Sails has what I consider to be good documentation on the subject, but not directly in its normal Sails documentation on the subject (although this is a good general reference). I had to read the sails.io.js github project instead . Again, better than the README, there is an example of them. Take a look at this file to see how to configure and disable them for socket testing, and this file which shows the tests themselves.
