Try with following using put method instead of post

request(app)
            .post('/login')
            .send({
                username: '[email protected]',
                password: 'password'
            })
            .expect(200)
            .end(function(err, res) {

                expect(res.body.token).to.be.not.undefined;
                expect(res.body.user).to.be.not.undefined;
                expect(res.body.user.username).to.be.eql('[email protected]');

                done();
            })
