08/18/2022, 9:53 PMyou probably dont want to learn how to write tests from netsuite
battk
08/18/2022, 9:55 PMlearn how to use jest in general, there are plenty of resources online, jest is very popular
battk
08/18/2022, 9:55 PMif you learn jest from following netsuite's example, you write tests on script entry points, which will be miserable on anything complicated

08/18/2022, 9:56 PMBut I'm looking for examples of the mock ups for N/records for example
Stephane
08/18/2022, 9:56 PMHmm if you don't use entry points, can you test only portions or specific functions of a script?

battk
08/18/2022, 9:57 PMits the point of unit testing, test small pieces of code
battk
08/18/2022, 9:57 PMtesting the entry points is basically all the code
battk
08/18/2022, 9:57 PMthe mocks is basically a learn jest thing
battk
08/18/2022, 9:58 PMwhat netsuite provides isnt particularly valuable, its basically just lists of functions

08/18/2022, 10:01 PMdepends on what your code looks like, but you will be mocking the behavior of everything your code uses

08/18/2022, 10:13 PMI see, and are you aware of any library that are premade or everytime we have to mock from scratch every object?

08/18/2022, 10:28 PMnone that i know of, you will have to write your own behavior
