How do I get access to environment
How do I get access to environment variables in test file?

Hey! 👋 Are you using one of the Miniflare testing environments? If so, you should be able to call the
getMiniflareBindings() function to get an object containing environment variables? If not, regular process.env.VARIABLE_NAME might work?BTW, I have another question, how can I get country from the cf object without ignoring typescript type checking. I am not a wizard in typescript but still I couldn't make it work
without commenting, it doesn't work
Can it be an error?
And it is not working with either methods, btw I am using .dev.vars to store my environment variables
How are you running your tests?
Ah this should be fixed in the next version of
@cloudflare/workers-types released very soon, for now, I'd stick a // @ts-expect-error comment above which you'll need to remove next time you update @cloudflare/workers-types. I'll try remember to ping you when the release goes out. 👍Sounds great
BTW, can miniflare access .dev.vars and load environment variables?
Yep, if you point
--env-path/envPath to your .dev.vars file, it should load them: https://miniflare.dev/core/variables-secrets#env-files🔑 Variables and Secrets · Miniflare

This seems to be working!
Nice! 🎉
I am sorry, I am asking too many questions but is there any way to verify fetchMock is working?
No worries at all! Yep,
fetchMock.disableNetConnect() will mean an exception is thrown whenever you haven't mocked a request and it tries to fetch from the internet. fetchMock.assertNoPendingInterceptors() will make sure that all your registered mocks have been hit.in my case, it seems to be hitting the public network
Hmmm, even with
fetchMock.disableNetConnect()?So this is what I found. I have a separate worker file that does fetching, fetchmock is setup in the test file, I wanted the main api not to hit the internet, but it was not happening. So I tried to fetch the same url in the test file and fetchmock seems to be working. Is it the preferred use case and if so, how can I test my api that relies on external services?
