Zapier CLI testing

Question

Hi,I am new to Zapier and try to make a Zapier CLI integration work.I have created an integration with Zapier UI, converted it with zapier convert, and I can successfully “zappier push” it back.However I have issues when doing “zapier test”:I receive a 401 error from my server when each unit test is runIn fact, it is normal, because the unit test passes “Authorization: Bearer {{bundle.authData.access_token}}” litterally, without replacing the access_token with its actual value	And the session authentication (which should return an access_token from the email/password) is not even called from the tests.So I have 2 questions:how to manage the tests so that it uses a valid access_token?	how to make sure that {{bundle.authData.access_token}} is replaced with its value?These are probably dummy questions, but I could not find any answer in the documentation. Many thanks!

Many thanks, it works!What I did into more details, if it may help others:I created a 0_auth folder in the test folder (‘0’ to make sure it’s invoked at first, with alphabetical order).In this folder, I do like the provided example, in a ‘testAuth.js’ test module, and I storethe access_token received from the server in a variable exported by this test module (in the example, the ‘secret’ token does not work in my case, as the server returns a token which I cannot control on the client side)In any other test, I set the bundle.authData.access_token to this testAuth.access_tokenActually, leaving the simple quotes as ‘Bearer {{bundle.authData.access_token}}’ doesthe job (otherwise, I guss that the headers would be initialized at the test startup, even before the access_token has been retrieved from the serverThanks again, I was really wondering how to properly organize my test bench.

Hi @bfredo123- Just use normal ES6string interpolation because the double curly braces string interpolation won’t work inside functions. In your case, it should look like the following:{ //... headers: {  Authorization: `Bearer ${bundle.authData.access_token}` }}Also, in your unit tests, the authentication won’t happen automatically, you should actually define the access_token in your bundle.authData. You can use this example as a reference.
