This code unit tests a function that generates a Zuora query for retrieving renewal data, ensuring it includes the correct start date based on the provided date range.

Run example

npm run import -- "test zuora renewals query"

test zuora renewals query

var assert = require('assert');
var importer = require('../Core');
var renewalsQuery = importer.import("zuora renewals query");

describe('zuora query', () => {
    it('should include the dates specified', () => {
        const now = new Date();
        const year = now.getMonth() < 11 ? (now.getFullYear() - 1) : now.getFullYear()
        const q = renewalsQuery.getQuery('beginning of November', 'beginning of December');
        assert(q.Query.includes(year + '-11-01'), 'should have correct dates');
    })
})

// Import required modules and define constants
const { assert } = require('assert');
const importer = require('../Core');
const { expect } = require('chai'); // Use a better assertion library
const renewalsQuery = importer.import('zuora renewals query');

// Define a describe block for the zuora query tests
describe('zuora query', () => {
  // Define a test case to verify that the query includes the specified dates
  it('should include the dates specified', () => {
    // Use a more modern way to get the current date
    const currentDate = new Date();
    const previousYear = currentDate.getMonth() < 11? currentDate.getFullYear() - 1 : currentDate.getFullYear();
    
    // Create a query for the beginning of November and December
    const query = renewalsQuery.getQuery('beginning of November', 'beginning of December');
    
    // Use the expect function to verify that the query includes the correct dates
    expect(query.Query).to.include(previousYear + '-11-01');
    expect(query.Query).to.include(currentDate.getFullYear() + '-12-01');
  });
});

This code snippet defines a unit test for a function that generates a Zuora query for retrieving renewal information.

Here's a breakdown:

1. Dependencies:

   • assert: Node.js built-in module for making assertions in tests.
   • importer: A custom module likely used for importing other modules or utilities.

2. Import:

   • renewalsQuery: Imports a function called getQuery from the zuora renewals query module.

3. Test Suite:

   • describe('zuora query', () => { ... }): Defines a test suite named "zuora query".

4. Test Case:

   • it('should include the dates specified', () => { ... }): Defines a test case within the suite.

5. Test Logic:

   • const now = new Date();: Gets the current date.
   • const year = now.getMonth() < 11 ? (now.getFullYear() - 1) : now.getFullYear(): Determines the current year or the previous year depending on the month.
   • const q = renewalsQuery.getQuery('beginning of November', 'beginning of December');: Calls the getQuery function with start and end dates.
   • assert(q.Query.includes(year + '-11-01'), 'should have correct dates');: Asserts that the generated query string (q.Query) includes the expected start date (November 1st of the calculated year).

In essence:

This code tests whether the getQuery function correctly generates a Zuora query that includes the specified start and end dates for retrieving renewal information.
