what's the current favorite for localhost-friendly HTTP API testing? |
| 15:10 |
|
saml |
load test? |
| 15:11 |
|
fumanchu |
code |

bigbluehat |
code |
| 15:14 |
|
bigbluehat |
seems each of the three (major) documentation players all have testing libraries |
| 15:14 |
|
bigbluehat |
but was hoping for just some basic assert style stuff--without having to do all the boilerplate |
| 15:15 |
|
bigbluehat |
I'm writing an implementation of this http://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-protocol/ |
| 15:16 |
|
bigbluehat |
and mostly want to confirm that I'm doing all the MUSTs and such ;) |
| 15:18 |
|
bigbluehat |
guessing it looks like a) document the API and b) test it with Dredd (or similar) |
| 15:18 |
|
bigbluehat |
'spose that's not too bad ;) |
| 15:20 |
|
fumanchu |
here, we have a couple of client libs for folks who want to use our HTTP API via Python, JS, or R. We actually use the Python client to write all tests for the HTTP API. |
| 15:20 |
|
fumanchu |
but there's no notion of "automatically detect endpoints, methods, and payloads" -- it's just too complex for that |
| 15:21 |
|
bigbluehat |
yeah...at this point whatever I pick doesn't have to be too smart |
| 15:21 |
|
bigbluehat |
just assert basic things per request |
| 15:21 |
|
bigbluehat |
like "has this header" "is JSON" "includes this key" etc |
| 15:22 |
|
fumanchu |
in CherryPy, I included a "webtest.py" module which extends Python xUnit TestCase class with assertStatus, assertHeader, assertBody |
| 15:22 |
|
fumanchu |
pretty simple |
| 15:22 |
|
bigbluehat |
neat idea. |
| 15:22 |
|
bigbluehat |
...so many ways to do the same thing...as always :) |
| 15:23 |
|
fumanchu |
true :) |
| 15:23 |
|
bigbluehat |
fumanchu: is that code available anywhere I can see? ;) |
| 15:23 |
|
bigbluehat |
fine if not |
| 15:23 |
|
bigbluehat |
just askin' |
| 15:23 |
|
fumanchu |
sure |
| 15:23 |
|
fumanchu |
here's the CP webtest.py: https://bitbucket.org/cherrypy/cherrypy/src/tip/cherrypy/test/webtest.py?at=default |
| 15:24 |
|
fumanchu |
and here's pycrunch, our Python client for work: https://github.com/Crunch-io/pycrunch/blob/master/pycrunch |
| 15:25 |
|
fumanchu |
"lemonpy" has the basic wrapper around the ubiquitous "requests" library |
| 15:25 |
|
fumanchu |
"elements.py" is our extended JSON parser |
| 15:26 |
|
fumanchu |
and "shoji.py" uses that to auto-parse the Shoji media type |
| 15:26 |
|
bigbluehat |
great stuff fumanchu ! tnx :D |
| 15:34 |
|
bigbluehat |
...this is really compelling http://dredd.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart/ |
| 15:34 |
|
bigbluehat |
if it would only stay that simple ;) |
| 15:37 |
|
fumanchu |
oh, node. I prefer to test sites that have latency SLA's. |
| 15:37 |
|
fumanchu |
:P |
| 15:38 |
|
pdurbin |
bigbluehat: I like https://github.com/jayway/rest-assured |
| 15:41 |
|
fumanchu |
hahaha |

fumanchu |
bash! |
| 15:41 |
|
fumanchu |
with sleep! |
| 15:41 |
|
fumanchu |
better and better |
| 15:44 |
|
bigbluehat |
fumanchu: +1 for bash |
| 15:44 |
|
bigbluehat |
I'm not in a place where I need to test the hosted code, latency, etc. just the messages |
| 15:45 |
|
bigbluehat |
pdurbin: nice link! I like the way that reads for sure |
| 15:46 |
|
pdurbin |
bigbluehat: I'm using it here: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/master/src/test/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/api/SearchIT.java |
| 15:47 |
|
bigbluehat |
the install steps are pretty daunting... |
| 15:48 |
|
pdurbin |
for rest-assured? you just add it to you pom.xml |
| 15:48 |
|
bigbluehat |
pdurbin: great example, though |
| 15:48 |
|
bigbluehat |
except I don't have a pom.xml :) |
| 15:48 |
|
pdurbin |
oh |
| 15:48 |

http://github.com/BigBlueHat/ldp-on-couchdb |
| 15:48 |
|
bigbluehat |
just some JS for CouchDB at the moment |
| 15:48 |
|
pdurbin |
bigbluehat: here's a standalone version: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-apitester |
| 15:48 |
|
bigbluehat |
there's a package.json file only 'cause I use some node.js stuff to push things into couchdb |
| 15:49 |
|
bigbluehat |
pdurbin: those tests are a good easy read |
| 15:49 |
|
bigbluehat |
...hrm...decisions :-P |
