Tests

To assert or validate the outcome of your input data, tests can be used. You can provide an array of tests to validate different input values. Each test can can contain one or many functions to validate the targetted value.

Usage

interfaces:
  user/register:
    output: http
    method: POST
    show_error_detail: true
    actions:
      - name: Input
        input: a|body
        assert:
          error_message: "Password not strong enough"
          tests:
            - value: first
              is_not_null: true
              is_greater_than: 2
              is_less_than: 20
              regex: \S+
            - value: last
              is_not_null: true
              is_greater_than: 3
              is_less_than: 20
              regex: \S+
            - value: email
              is_not_null: true
              is_greater_than: 3
              is_less_than: 100
              regex: \S+
            - value: pass
              is_not_null: true
              is_greater_than: 9
              is_less_than: 30
            - value: pass
              regex: "[A-Z]"
              error_message: "Password should contain one uppercase character"
            - value: pass
              regex: "[a-z]"
              error_message: "Password should contain one lowercase character"
            - value: pass
              regex: "[0-9!@#]"
              error_message: "Password should contain at least one number (0-9) or symbol (!,@,#)"

Tests should follow the above format. All tests should start off with the value you want to test followed by the functions you will use to test the value.

Value

The value field is to access the data from your defined action input.

Take for example the below JSON data is sent to an API interface.

{
  "first": "tom",
  "last": "bob"
}

To access the this input we would use a|body

Usage

actions:
  - name: Input
    input: a|body
    assert:
      error_message: "First name not long enough"
      tests:
        - value: first

You can access any values that are available in the body, including nested values using JavaScript like syntax. data[0].name.first

Name & Description

Optionally attach a name and/or description to each of your tests

Regex

Name	Description	Examples
regex	utilises Rust's regular expression crate	"[A-Z]" "[0-9!@#]"

Usage

Regex Example

Consider the following payload

{

    output: http
    route: details
    method: POST

    actions:
      - name: CheckBody
        input: a|body
        assert:
          tests:
            - value: pass
              is_not_null: true
              is_greater_than: 9
              is_less_than: 30
            - value: pass
              regex: "[A-Z]"
              error_message: "Password should contain one uppercase character"

      },
