Hi,

I am doing unit test for my bot written in node.js based on the Microsoft document https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/unit-test-bots?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=javascript.

In the test, I can create a client object and make the client send text to the bot like 

   const reply = await client.sendActivity('hi!');  
   assert.strictEqual(reply, expected_reply);

But my bot was designed to also be able to receive attachments from users, how can I make the client send an attachment to the bot so that I can test how the bot would react?
