How make secuencial tests with pyresttest?

[macagua]

Hi @svanoort

I trying to make seven secuencial tests from the API Rest that I need to test.

The first test is a Get request that generate a response in Json format, from which I have to extract and resend two or three values to the next test, to attach those values as parameters of the URL of the next Get query and so on...

Here a example of my code:

# Usage: resttest.py --url http://localhost:8089/ --test ./tests/api/test_cars.yaml

---
- config:
    - testset: "Tests App"
    - timeout: 60000

- test:
    - name: "GET - cars list"
    - url: "/api/cars/ARG/2018-2010/SPORT/"
    - headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Authorization': 'apikey 3fdty0dsgd454lrrfsdgv8455safmmkj544wdss3',
                'fc-user-id': '09876',
                'fc-api-key': 'sdf4534lkjoj4564789kh3423ñlñmkn2232mkpb3'
      }
    - extract_binds:
        - 'id': {'jsonpath_mini': 'objects.id'}
        - 'car_code': {'jsonpath_mini': 'objects.cars.0.car.code'}
        - 'shash_code': {'jsonpath_mini': 'objects.cars[0].rates[0].shash'}
    - expected_status: [200]

- test:
    - name: "GET - car_info"
    # http://localhost:8089/api/car_info/ARG00OS5?language=en&id=4565609876098702323
    - url: {'template': "/api/car_info/$car_code?language=es&id=$id"}
    - headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Authorization': 'apikey 3fdty0dsgd454lrrfsdgv8455safmmkj544wdss3',
                'fc-user-id': '09876',
                'fc-api-key': 'sdf4534lkjoj4564789kh3423ñlñmkn2232mkpb3'
      }
    - expected_status: [200]

I execute the following command:

$ resttest.py --verbose --url http://localhost:8089/ --test ./tests/api/test_cars.yaml --interactive true --print-bodies true --log debug

Then the first test show INFO:Test Succeeded

But the second test show the error:

           </li>\n        \n      </ol>\n      <p>The current URL, <code>api/cars/$car_code</code>, didn't match any of these.</p>\n    \n  </div>\n\n  <div id=\"explanation\">\n    <p>\n      You're seeing this error because you have <code>DEBUG = True</code> in\n      your Django settings file.

ERROR:Test Failure, failure type: Invalid HTTP Response Code, Reason: Invalid HTTP response code: response code 404 not in expected codes [[200]]
===================================

Any idea how I can resolve this error?

@svanoort I solved this issue with the curl option curl_option_followlocation: True and curl_option_maxredirs: 2 like the following code:

# Usage: resttest.py --url http://localhost:8089/ --test ./tests/api/test_cars.yaml

---
- config:
    - testset: "Tests App"
    - timeout: 60000

- test:
    - name: "GET - cars list"
    - url: "/api/cars/ARG/2018-2010/SPORT/"
    - curl_option_followlocation: True
    - curl_option_maxredirs: 2
    - headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Authorization': 'apikey 3fdty0dsgd454lrrfsdgv8455safmmkj544wdss3',
                'fc-user-id': '09876',
                'fc-api-key': 'sdf4534lkjoj4564789kh3423ñlñmkn2232mkpb3'
      }
    - extract_binds:
        - 'id': {'jsonpath_mini': 'objects.id'}
        - 'car_code': {'jsonpath_mini': 'objects.cars.0.car.code'}
        - 'shash_code': {'jsonpath_mini': 'objects.cars[0].rates[0].shash'}
    - expected_status: [200]

- test:
    - name: "GET - car_info"
    # http://localhost:8089/api/car_info/ARG00OS5?language=en&id=4565609876098702323
    - url: {'template': "/api/car_info/$car_code?language=es&id=$id"}
    - curl_option_followlocation: True
    - curl_option_maxredirs: 2
    - headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Authorization': 'apikey 3fdty0dsgd454lrrfsdgv8455safmmkj544wdss3',
                'fc-user-id': '09876',
                'fc-api-key': 'sdf4534lkjoj4564789kh3423ñlñmkn2232mkpb3'
      }
    - expected_status: [200]

Seems that you've got this sorted now anyway @macagua, but we've made Tavern specifically to make sequential tests easier. https://github.com/taverntesting/tavern
