Ok, done, please do your PR on develop :)

@clifinger I think we can write integration test. And We can use mock http request etc.

@shirshak55 yes I think also, I will make the dev branch when I finish my job. but you can start and do a PR :) thank you by the way !

[shirshak55]

Hi all, I personally tried to use rust unit testing, but I found that
rust is still in an infant state.

I personally found that jest is way better and flexible and faster to work with
With the combination of supertest that uses superagent, tests are easy to write and easy to maintain.

I also use Clion and it still has issues to run system tests of application that accepting parameters, due to mix of parameters you passing to rust and to application.

Here is a screenshot of unit testing I currently have

I have organized the execution the way that during start jest will compile API and restart it automatically and run it in debug mode with logging enabled, so you can see debug information from rust code as well as debug information from the test itself.

I basically took the best from two worlds.
I think that in most of the cases the web front will be anyway written on javascript (React, Angular, Vue) and for me is OK to use javascript for integration testing.

The question is are you interested in me to submit the patch with jest unit testing?

@olexiyb hey there i agree the problem is code reuse i guess but i still think node js & jest is perfect for testing such thing as test usually don't end up in hot path .
