testing the logger using jest customFormat with th

Question

i have implemented the logger for node js using winston, morgan and winston-daily-rotate-file, express-http-context. So every day a new log file will be written when any of the http request(morgan) or developer defined logger messages to the file. from the node js. Below format how it will be logged

timestamp || Level || filename || traceId || statusCode || logMessage

Everything is working fine, but when i written the test cases using jest, (beginner to jest). I am not able to cover two lines. Here is the entire code and the folder structure.

To every request i am setting a traceId, which i will extract on the customFormat method and after that i returns the customFormat message, these are the two lines i am not able to cover in jest.

//index.js

const app = require('express')();
const cors = require('cors')
const morgan = require('morgan') // HTTP request logger middleware 
const logger = require('./lib/logger')(module) //Logger
const uuid = require('uuid')
const httpContext = require('express-http-context')
const config = require('./config').get(process.env.APP_ENV)


// Use any third party middleware that does not need access to the context here
// app.use(some3rdParty.middleware);

app.use(httpContext.middleware);
// all code from here on has access to the same context for each request

// Run the context for each request.
// Assigning a unique identifier to each request
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  httpContext.set('traceId', uuid.v1());
  next();
});

// using morgan with winston(logger)
app.use(morgan('combined', {
  stream: {
    write: (message) => logger[config.logLevel](message)
  }
}))

app.use(cors());

app.listen(4000, () => {
  console.log('Server running on port 4000');
});
