usagi is a plugin for haas that adds support for discovering Web API test cases descibed in YAML.

usagi requires haas v0.6.0 or later.

• Describe web API tests using YAML.
• Template URLs to avoid repeating items.
• Variables and target hostname can be provided by environment variables.
• YAML format contains multiple test cases.
• Each test case is a grouping of related tests.
• Make flexible assertions about the server's response.
• Contribute web API test runner functionality through plugins.
• Assert that the SHA256 of the response body matches an expected value.
• Filter JSON response bodies before comparison using jq filter syntax: http://stedolan.github.io/jq/

• Var loaders
  • Load from environment
  • Template string based on other vars
  • Load from file, either plaintext or JSON
• Assertions
  • Assert status code
  • Assert header is present or matches value or regexp

• Add more assertions!

• version: Currently required, but unverified (we are at v0.1.0.devN, after all).
• config: Common test case configuration.
  • host: The name (or IP) of the host to test.
    • Can come from env, template, file, like vars.
  • scheme: The scheme (http, https) to use to connect to host
  • vars: Common variable definitions for all test cases; formatted as a dictionary of var name to type and value.
    • Simple string vars are allowed.
    • Others are specified as a dictionary with key type to determine how to load.
• cases: Collection of test cases. Each case contains multiple tests
  • name: The name of the test case
  • tests: Collection of individual tests
    • name: The name of the test
    • url: The URI/path relative to host against which the test will be executed.
    • method: The HTTP method to use for the test.
    • assertions: List of assertions to make about the test.
