mockra

If you’re looking to test your ember-cli application, and you’re using Ember Data, then you’ll want to use mocks instead of fixtures. Luckily, ember-cli provides a decent tool set for creating mock server responses.

You can generate a new endpoint mock by running:

ember g http-mock resource-name

You would replace resource-name with something like users or posts.

One of the main downsides to this approach is that we’ll need to run ember serve before running our tests, so that our mock expressjs server will serve our response.

Once we have our server running, when we run our tests, ember-data will receive the response we setup in our mock endpoint.
