Hi @jacksonofalltrades,
I also using this awesome framework. I think it does have import command, by using import
keyword. But the variable is independent between child and parent.
- import: a.yaml
See more here https://github.com/svanoort/pyresttest#import-example
I'm looking for global variables define, details here. https://github.com/svanoort/pyresttest/issues/256
Im new to this framework (coming from the pytest mindset), but Im liking it already. I tried to nest some import statements, but Im getting a path problem. Maybe Im not approaching this right, but Id like to setup some re-usable fixtures to put my backend between tests. I create something like:
add_fixture.yaml:
-test:
- name: "Add simple item"
- url: "/endpoint/"
- method: "POST"
- body: '{"id": "test_id", "value": 123}
This works fine when import this into a series of tests via something like: test_additions.yaml:
- import add_fixture.yaml
- test:
- ...and so on...
However, when I have something like all_tests.yaml:
- import test_additions.yaml
- ...
it chokes on the path for the fixture.yaml file. Looks like this is a working directory issue. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a bug? Maybe there is another way to aggregate tests into "suites" with pyresttest?
Let me start by expressing my appreciation. This is a fantastic framework, thanks for building it!
It would be great if I could include one test yaml file inside another just to be able to more modularly organize my tests, but still run all of them with one command-line.
For example:
So this way I could group my tests for the API and make it easier to maintain or have different people work on different groups of tests.
Thanks! -Dave
