Testing Passport Facebook Strategy Oauth

Question

I was looking for a solid example or to be pointed in the right direction of how to simulate testing Passport-Facebook's login process. Completely clueless as where to start.

I'm open to any testing framework.

Best, Austin

The authorization_code grant type (the one that requires the user to login on the provider's server) cannot be fully tested. If you were using Grant you can override the Facebook's authorize_url and access_url to point to a local server in your tests. These route should return fake access token, that you'll receive in the final callback of your app. No idea how is this possible to achieve with Passport though, I don't use it for OAuth login anymore :) – Edition

While Passport documentation provides a crude/basic example for use Passport-Facebook strategy
