doesn't work with express < 3.0.0 about supertest

[strk]

Oh, supertest is 0.0.1

[strk]

but also fails with supertest 0.1.0

0.4.x will be left in the dust reasonably soon by everyone I would imagine, 3.x isn't even relased yet so I have no intention of supporting 0.4.x

[strk]

wait a second, I'm talking about supertest not supporting a released express version (2.4.3 or 2.5.1)

If you want this has nothing to do with node-0.4 (except in the part where I would prefer NOT to upgrade express).

If it is intentional to support only express-3.0.0 you write it so in big letters somewhere, or even throw an exception when an older version of an express object is passed to you (dunno how easy would the latter be).

But are you sure you want to restrict the testing capability of such nice tool ?

im fine with supporting it but I dont want to personally maintain it. It should work though, express 2x was an http.Server like any other and supertest works fine with regular http.Server's

[strk]

I think I was getting my failures with node-0.8, will try with node-0.6

@strk i'm also having similar problems with express 2.5.x.
The way i solved them is by asserting against the Response object passed to the callback on .end()

request(app)
  .get('/')
  .end( function (err, response) {
    if (err) throw err;
    assert.equal(response.statusCode, 200);
  });

However this does not work for PUT/POST request because .send() doesn't seem to work (request.body is undefined)

I'm using Express 2.5.9 and using supertest regularly works fine for me, FWIW! (Edit: on Node 0.6.)
