QAToolKit.Engine.HttpTester is a .NET Standard 2.1 library, that that contains an implementation of IHttpTesterClient that is a thin wrapper around .NET HttpClient to allow to write easy Http Request calls.
Supported .NET frameworks and standards: netstandard2.0, netstandard2.1, net8.0
Get in touch with me on:
A sample on how to easily call the HTTP request with .NET HttpClient:
using (var client = new HttpTesterClient())
{
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
.WithQueryParams(new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "api-version", "1" } })
.WithMethod(HttpMethod.Get)
.WithPath("/api/bicycles")
.WithBearerAuthentication("eXy....")
.Start();
var msg = await response.GetResponseJsonBody<List<Bicycle>>();
var expectedResponse = BicycleFixture.GetBicycles().ToExpectedObject();
expectedResponse.ShouldEqual(msg);
Assert.True(client.Duration < 2000); //Start() method execution duration
Assert.True(client.HttpDuration < 2000); //HTTP request duration
Assert.True(response.IsSuccessStatusCode);
}//Payload object
var bicycle = new Bicycle
{
Id = 5,
Name = "EXCEED CFR",
Brand = "Giant",
Type = BicycleType.Mountain
};
using (var client = new HttpTesterClient())
{
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
.WithQueryParams(new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "api-version", "1" } })
.WithMethod(HttpMethod.Post)
.WithJsonBody(bicycle)
.WithPath("/api/bicycles")
.WithBasicAuthentication("user", "pass")
.Start();
var msg = await response.GetResponseJsonBody<Bicycle>();
var expectedResponse = bicycle.ToExpectedObject();
expectedResponse.ShouldEqual(msg);
Assert.True(client.Duration < 2000);
Assert.True(response.IsSuccessStatusCode);
Assert.Equal("Giant", msg.Brand);
}You can upload files with multipart/form-data content type like shown below.
There are 2 overloads of WithMultipart, one for uploading binary data and the other for string data.
using (var client = new HttpTesterClient())
{
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
.WithQueryParams(new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "api-version", "1" } })
.WithMethod(HttpMethod.Post)
.WithMultipart(image, "FileContent", "logo.png")
.WithMultipart("MetaData", "My metadata.")
.WithPath("/api/bicycles/1/images")
.Start();
var msg = await response.GetResponseBodyString();
Assert.Equal("File name: miha.txt, length: 119305", msg);
Assert.True(response.IsSuccessStatusCode);
}There is content-type safety built-in and you can not do WithMultipart and WithJsonBody in the same request.
QAToolKit.Engine.HttpTester supports 4 HttpResponse helper methods to give you maximum flexibility when reading reponse body.
GetResponseBodyString: return response content as a string.GetResponseJsonBody: deserialize response content from JSON to objectGetResponseXmlBody: deserialize response content from XML to object.GetResponseBodyBytes: return response content as byte array.- [Obsolete]
GetResponseBody: this is obsolete, it deserializes response content from JSON to object. It's replaced byGetResponseJsonBody.
The library extends HttpClient object with Duration and HttpDuration properties. The first returns the measured duration of Start(); method and the latter return the duration of HTTP request execution.
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
.WithQueryParams(new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "api-version", "1" } })
.Start();
client.Duration; //Start() method execution duration
client.HttpDuration; //HTTP request durationIf you are using QAToolKit Swagger library to generate HttpRequest object you can use a CreateHttpRequest override.
In this sample below, CreateHttpRequest accepts a first request from the list of requests generated by Swagger library.
//GET Requests from Swagger file
var urlSource = new SwaggerUrlSource();
var requests = await urlSource.Load(new Uri[] {
new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net/swagger/v1/swagger.json")
});
using (var client = new HttpTesterClient())
{
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(requests.FirstOrDefault())
.Start();
....
}The CreateHttpRequest override will assign only BaseUrl, Path, HttpMethod, Query parameters and Header parameters. You need to assign HttpBody manually with WithJsonBody.
For example:
using (var client = new HttpTesterClient())
{
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(requests.FirstOrDefault())
.WithJsonBody(object)
.Start();
....
}Currently HttpTesterClient supports:
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
....
.WithBasicAuthentication("user", "pass")
.Start(); var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
....
.WithBearerAuthentication("eXy....")
.Start(); var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
....
.WithNTLMAuthentication("user", "pass") // or default security context .WithNTLMAuthentication()
.Start();You can pass X509Certificate2 objet to the WithCertificateAuthentication method from certificate store or file.
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
....
.WithCertificateAuthentication(new X509Certificate2(...))
.Start();This is an implementation of the HTTP response message asserter, which can be used to assert different parameters.
Here is a list of Asserters:
ResponseContentContains: HTTP body contains a string (ignores case).RequestDurationEquals: Verify request duration.ResponseStatusCodeEquals: Verify if response code equals to specified.ResponseHasHttpHeader: HTTP response contains a header.ResponseStatusCodeIsSuccess: HTTP response status code is one of 2xx.ResponseBodyIsEmpty: HTTP response body is empty.ResponseContentTypeEquals: Check if HTTP response media type equals to specified.
Asserter produces a list of AssertResult:
/// <summary>
/// Assert result object
/// </summary>
public class AssertResult
{
/// <summary>
/// Assert name
/// </summary>
public string Name { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Is assert true
/// </summary>
public bool IsTrue { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Assert message
/// </summary>
public string Message { get; set; }
}If we extend the previous example:
using (var client = new HttpTesterClient())
{
var response = await client
.CreateHttpRequest(new Uri("https://qatoolkitapi.azurewebsites.net"))
.WithQueryParams(new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "api-version", "1" } })
.WithMethod(HttpMethod.Get)
.WithPath("/api/bicycles")
.Start();
var duration = client.Duration;
//pass response to the asserter
var asserter = new HttpTestAsserter(response);
//Produce the list of assert results
var assertResults = asserter
.ResponseContentContains("scott")
.RequestDurationEquals(duration, (x) => x < 1000)
.ResponseStatusCodeEquals(HttpStatusCode.OK)
.ResponseStatusCodeIsSuccess()
.AssertAll();
//if you use xUnit, you can assert the results like this
foreach (var result in assertResults)
{
Assert.True(result.IsTrue, result.Message);
}
}- This library is a beta version
- Add more Http Asserters
- Cover more test cases with HTTP Tester client
