Testing WorkOS in CI/CD: A practical guide
Blog post from WorkOS
@workos/emulate is an in-memory local WorkOS API server designed to simplify testing authentication flows by eliminating the trade-off between using live APIs and maintaining test-specific mocks. This emulator mimics the real WorkOS API, allowing developers to test their applications' authentication processes, such as login flows, webhook handling, and service-to-service authentication, without altering their code. It supports the full AuthKit login story and allows for realistic data seeding, making it possible to start tests from a known state and simulate complex scenarios with minimal setup. The emulator is particularly valuable in continuous integration (CI) environments, as it can be easily started, stopped, and integrated into test pipelines, ensuring tests run consistently without network access to the actual WorkOS, thus avoiding issues like rate limits or test data contamination. While effective for development and testing, the emulator isn't intended for deployment on shared networks or as a replacement for a production WorkOS environment.
