Example of testing with third-party integrations

[stephanboersma]

Hi,

Would it be possible for you to add an example of testing a module that integrates with a third-party? I could not find any documentation regarding mocking services when using the medusaIntegrationTestRunner.

It would be very valuable to be able to test workflows that rely on third-party modules.

Hi @stephanboersma thank you for submitting this request! We'll look into it.

Can you provide more information on your use case / what you're expecting? While we don't cover specific use cases, it can factor into the example we work on.

Hi @shahednasser,

Thanks for the swift reply :-)

In my case, I have developed an integration with Shipmondo using the workflow-sdk. When a new order is placed in Medusa, the order + order items are synchronized to Shipmondo.

It would be nice to add an integration test for this workflow but that also requires the Shipmondo client to be mocked which I am not quite sure on how to achieve at this current moment.

Got it. When you say the "Shipmondo client to be mocked" you mean to not actually send the requests to Shipmondo, correct?

I'll look into the best approach for similar scenarios, but is it not possible to use Shipmondo as sandbox for testing? You can maybe enable sandbox based on an option's value. Let me know if this makes sense.

@shahednasser , Yes that is correct.

I just checked again and discovered a whole new docs site for their api which was not available when developing the integration. They actually provide a sandbox environment now - this can definitely be used :) Thanks for making me check again.

However, I still think it is a highly relevant functionality to allow mocking of third-party services when testing Medusa Modules.

Of course! I'll still look into documenting it for other cases, but I'm glad I could at least resolve your issue for the time being.
