Integration tests with model-specific routes

Testing

Hey all! Had an interesting issue I’m running into when trying to create integration tests for my application, specifically when trying to use visit(). My situation is this: this ember app requires that I have “friendly,” readable URLs that correspond to models currently available to my ember application. For instance, instead of having a URL be /organizations/[id], I’m mapping the URL to the name of the organization as /:orgname. To illustrate, here’s the relevant code from my organization route:

import Ember from "ember";

var OrganizationRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function(params) {
    // Attach the organization slug to the Ember object for use in the product route
    Ember.organizationSlug = params.organization_slug;
    return this.store.find('organization', {slug: params.organization_slug});
  },
  ...
});

export default OrganizationRoute;

This makes unit testing a bit difficult as when I call visit('URL goes here'), tests will only pass if I send the test to a URL a valid model that has been created and saved. I don’t want my integration tests to be dependent on the dynamic and surely changing data it will receive from a REST API.

My first thought was to create an organization in the integration test, but that doesn’t seem to be working as var store = this.store(); inside of an integration test (in Ember CLI) is returning undefined. Has anyone run into this before? How did you handle it?

Many thanks,

Jeff
