Office-js-docs-pr: Would you please provide information about Unit Test ?

[NT-D]

Hi Outlook team,
Thank you for providing good documents for debugging. We are now enjoying development and debugging, but let me provide feedback about contents.

In general, developers run unit test on the client and CI pipeline on the cloud for keeping app quality. Our team also want to do Unit test, but there are no information about it. If possible, would you please provide how to do Unit test with Office.js and how to get Exchange Id Token and SSO token from agent on CI pipeline? Because we protect backend with Exhcange Id token and SSO token, we need to get them for testing backend.

Thanks

Sorry, my question included Integration testing, so feedback title should be "Would you please provide information about Unit test and Integration test?"

@NT-D Thanks for asking about this. I'm checking into this with my team and I'll see if I can give you an update soon.

Thanks.

[ElizabethSamuel-MSFT]

@NT-D We don't yet have any docs on this type of testing but we're working on it. For now, I'll put this issue on hold and we'll respond once we've put together some guidance for this area.

Thanks.

Thank you @ElizabethSamuel-MSFT. I'm looking forward to see update :)

All Outlook add-ins docs have just been moved out of this repo and into the OfficeDev/office-js-docs-pr repo, so I'm transferring this add-ins-related issue there as well.

[NT-D]

@kbrandl Which issue can I see progress in OfficeDev/office-js-docs-pr?

[kbrandl]

@NT-D I'm no longer a Microsoft employee, so cannot answer your question. @ElizabethSamuel-MSFT are you able to provide input here?

[ElizabethSamuel-MSFT]

Thanks, @kbrandl.

@NT-D For now, there's no further update. You can keep track with this same issue as it's now in the office-js-docs-pr repo.

Thanks.

It has been almost three years since https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js-docs-pr/issues/584, so to me it seems that supporting testing, CI/CD is not a priority for Microsoft. If that's so then fine I find other means to test my addin. But right now Microsoft does not clearly state that they are not going to provide these features in the near future. This situation is difficult for us because we would not like to invest a lot of time in developing a non-standard test solution if Microsoft release a framework for testing addins in all the various environments etc. So it would be very helpful if the team could provide us with a realistic timeline (this year, next year, never, no decision has been made).
