Trying to use supertest to check the body of response – getting an error

Alternatively, this should work too:

res.body.should.have.property("name", "new_org");

Also, just a note but logically I think it makes sense to put this in another call to expects instead of in the final callback. This function can also be re-used, so I tend to put it somewhere reusable when possible:

var isValidOrg = function(res) {
  res.body.should.have.property("name", "new_org");
};

it("should create a new org with valid privileges and input with status 201", function(done) {
  request(app)
    .post("/orgs")
    .send({ name: "new_org", owner: "oldschool@aol.com", timezone: "America/New_York", currency: "USD"})
    .expect(201)
    .expect(isValidOrg)
    .end(done);
});

Now you could imagine you’re testing a GET for /orgs/:orgId and you could just re-use the same validation.
