Testing middleware

[DFreds]

How would you go about testing some of your middlewares?

[jitinsharma]

Middlewares can be triggered via action dispatch similar to reducer.

• A basic example would be to do a simple action dispatch and using Mockito to check if certain methods are called or not(using Mockito.verify).
• Building up on previous step, we could mock certain methods called inside middleware(like mocking a network/db call) and which would then do another dispatch to reducer and produce a new state.

I'm pretty familiar with Mockito and unit testing, but I'm having a hard time seeing how this suggestion is a unit test. It sounds like more of an example of an integration test, where firing all of the related actions should eventually trigger the middleware. Is there an example you can provide?
