# How to run the tests of Requests for Request-Promise

Request-Promise aims to be almost identical to Request. Therefore most tests for Request should also be green executed on Request-Promise.

This is how to run the tests:

1. Create a temporary folder.

2. Clone [Request](https://github.com/request/request) into the temporary folder and run `npm install`.

3. Clone [Request-Promise](https://github.com/request/request-promise) into the temporary folder and run `npm install`.

4. Rename temp/request/index.js to temp/request/index-orig.js.

5. Create temp/request/index.js with the following content:

``` js

'use strict'

//module.exports = require('./index-orig.js')

var BPromise = require('../request-promise/node_modules/bluebird')

BPromise.onPossiblyUnhandledRejection(function (err) {

  return err

})

module.exports = require('../request-promise/lib/rp.js')

```

6. Go to temp/request-promise/lib/rp.js

7. Comment out the whole `var request = (function () { ... })();` block.

8. Add `var request = require('../../request/index-orig.js');` right below.

9. Go to temp/request/ and run `npm test`.

Currently, only those tests fail that expect a request call to throw an exceptions. Request-Promise rejects the promise those errors.
