Define variables inside tests for contract

Question

I write a bit more than plain contract on solidity and working on test to it. I faced with issue to put pass variables inside.

If I define variable as let I receive compilation error like this:

BigNumber Error: new BigNumber() not a number: entity

My attempts to define it as solidity variable are failed, seems test doesn't support any type except let

Here is a sample of the contract and test for it.

contract Market {

    struct good {
        address owner;
        bytes32 goodName;
        uint amount;
    }

    mapping(bytes32 => good[]) market;

    uint counter;

    function Market() {}

    function putGood(bytes32 name, address owner, uint quantity) public returns (uint) {
        good memory newGood = good(owner, name, quantity);
        market[name].push(newGood);
        counter++;
        return counter;
    }

  function getGood(bytes32 good) public view returns (bytes32, uint)     {
    return (market[good].owner, market[good].goodName, market[good].amount);
}
}

Related test

const Market = artifacts.require('../test/Market.sol')

contract('Market', function(accounts) {


let market;

beforeEach(`create subject instance before each test`, async function() {
    market = await Market.new();
})

it(`client put good on the market - one good - one good is available on the market`, async function() {
    let testGood = stringToUint("test good");

    await market.putGood(testGood, accounts[0], 1);

    let good = await market.getGood(testGood);

    assert.equals(good.owner, accounts[0]);
})

Could you please help me with place where I can learn more about defning different types in solidity tests?

More information about Solidity elementary types is here: http://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/develop/abi-spec.html#types.

1. You can learn how to set/get bytes32 from web3 here: web3 return bytes32 string

2. address in Solidity -> "0x..." string in Javascript

3. Other inputs in Solidity: bool, int/uint, string have the similar types in Javascript.
