bcrypt with a fixed salt is deterministic but defeats the purpose of
bcrypt salting. API keys are high-entropy UUIDs (128 bits), making
brute-force resistance unnecessary — HMAC-SHA256 with the app secret
is the correct primitive for deterministic, secure key hashing.
Also fixes application.author.id → application.authorId in the API key
auth path, which was silently setting req.payload.id to undefined.
- Extract Express app creation into src/createApp.js to enable testing without starting the server
- Add Jest, Supertest, test helpers (createTestApp, auth token generator)
- Write 14 integration tests for skydive/jumps: auth protection, CRUD, ownership checks
Bugs caught and fixed by the test suite:
- MongoDB models: author field typed as Schema.Types.UUID (Mongoose 6 rejects string UUIDs) → changed to String
- Jump.toJSONFor: called toProfileJSONFor on a UUID string → guarded with typeof check
- exceptions.handler: used err.statusCode but express-jwt throws err.status → returns 500 on 401 errors
- Jump.count(query): deprecated Mongoose method was ignoring the filter → replaced with countDocuments
- jumps.routes GET /: $or query included non-schema field "title" stripped by strictQuery, leaving {} (match-all) → replaced with slug/lieu search
- $regex: was passing a JS RegExp object which serializes to {} in MongoDB → now passes raw string
