Graphql Support

[k1ng440]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now we have to write multiple lines into a single line using a newline delimiter (\n) in query and it's not convenient to write and maintain them

Describe the solution you'd like Graphql client with introspection support would be nice.

We are going to look to add direct capability in the future. For now, I wanted to document the work around that @mathnogueira shared in Discord in case others hit the same issue. If you are reading this with the same issue - leave a note as it will help us prioritize the work!

Here are the notes Matheus shared:

You would only need to send a POST request to your graphql endpoint with the following body:

{ "query": "query{...}" }

replace query{...} with your actual query

For example, I tested it with this graphql example API (https://hub.docker.com/r/favware/graphql-pokemon).

I managed to trigger it with this test:

type: Test
spec:
name: List pokemon
description: List pokemon with GraphQL
trigger:
type: http
httpRequest:
method: POST
url: http://graphql:4000
body: "{\n  \"query\": \"query Query($take: Int, $offset: Int) {getAllPokemon(take: $take, offset: $offset) { color height species } }\",\n  \"variables\": {\"take\": 1, \"offset\": 0}\n}"
headers:
- key: Content-Type
value: application/json

Older issue.... but I wanted to mention that we have now added a graphQL trigger to the commercial version of Tracetest. You can read about it here! https://tracetest.io/blog/trace-based-tests-with-graphql-in-action
