Single test

See an example of creating a single test.
For a result with allure information you can use testing.T or provider.T from allure-go.

import (
    "context"
    "net/http"
    "path"
    "testing"
    "time"

    "github.com/ozontech/cute"
    "github.com/ozontech/cute/asserts/json"
)

func TestExample(t *testing.T) {
    cute.NewTestBuilder().
        Title("Title").
        Description("some_description").
        Create().
        RequestBuilder(
            cute.WithURI("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1/comments"),
            cute.WithMethod(http.MethodGet),
        ).
        ExpectExecuteTimeout(10*time.Second).
        ExpectStatus(http.StatusOK).
        AssertBody(
            json.Equal("$[0].email", "[email protected]"),
            json.Present("$[1].name"),
        ).
        ExecuteTest(context.Background(), t)
}

Allure:

Suite

Suite provides a structure in which you can describe tests by grouping them into test suites. This can be useful if you have a lot of different tests and it is difficult to navigate through them without having additional "layers nesting levels" of test calls.

You can read about Allure.Suite here

1. Declare a structure with suite.Suite and *cute.HTTPTestMaker

import (
    "github.com/ozontech/allure-go/pkg/framework/provider"
    
    "github.com/ozontech/cute"
)

type ExampleSuite struct {
    suite.Suite
    host *url.URL

    testMaker *cute.HTTPTestMaker
}

func (i *ExampleSuite) BeforeAll(t provider.T) {
    // Prepare http test builder
    i.testMaker = cute.NewHTTPTestMakerSuite()

    // Preparing host
    host, err := url.Parse("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/")
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("could not parse url, error %v", err)
    }

    i.host = host
}

2. Declare test

import (
    "github.com/ozontech/allure-go/pkg/framework/suite"
)

func TestExampleTest(t *testing.T) {
    t.Parallel()
    suite.RunSuite(t, new(ExampleSuite))
}

3. Just relax and describe tests

import (
    "github.com/ozontech/cute"
    "github.com/ozontech/cute/asserts/headers"
    "github.com/ozontech/cute/asserts/json"
)

func (i *ExampleSuite) TestExample_OneStep(t provider.T) {
    var (
        testBuilder = i.testMaker.NewTestBuilder()
    )
    
    u, _ := url.Parse(i.host.String())
    u.Path = path.Join(u.Path, "/posts/1/comments")
    
    testBuilder.
        Title("TestExample_OneStep").
        Tags("one_step", "some_local_tag", "json").
        Create().
        StepName("Example GET json request").
        RequestBuilder(
            cute.WithHeaders(map[string][]string{
                "some_header":       []string{"something"},
                "some_array_header": []string{"1", "2", "3", "some_thing"},
            }),
            cute.WithURL(u),
            cute.WithMethod(http.MethodGet),
        ).
        ExpectExecuteTimeout(10*time.Second).
        ExpectJSONSchemaFile("file://./resources/example_valid_request.json").
        ExpectStatus(http.StatusOK).
        AssertBody(
            json.Equal("$[0].email", "[email protected]"),
            json.Present("$[1].name"),
            json.NotPresent("$[1].some_not_present"),
            json.GreaterThan("$", 3),
            json.Length("$", 5),
            json.LessThan("$", 100),
            json.NotEqual("$[3].name", "kekekekeke"),
        ).
        OptionalAssertBody(
            json.GreaterThan("$", 3),
            json.Length("$", 5),
            json.LessThan("$", 100),
        ).
        AssertHeaders(
            headers.Present("Content-Type"),
        ).
        ExecuteTest(context.Background(), t)
}

Allure:

Asserts

You can create your own asserts or use ready-made asserts from the package asserts

JSON asserts:

You can find implementation here

• Equal is a function to assert that a jsonpath expression matches the given value
• NotEqual is a function to check that jsonpath expression value is not equal to the given value
• Length is a function to assert that value is the expected length
• GreaterThan is a function to assert that value is greater than the given length
• LessThan is a function to assert that value is less than the given length
• Present is a function to assert that value is present
• NotPresent is a function to assert that value is not present

Headers asserts:

See implementation here

• Present is a function to assert that header is present
• NotPresent is a function to assert that header is not present

Custom asserts

You can implement 3 type of asserts:

Base

Types for creating custom assertions.

type AssertBody func(body []byte) error
type AssertHeaders func(headers http.Header) error
type AssertResponse func(response *http.Response) error

Example:

func customAssertBody() asserts.AssertBody {
    return func(bytes []byte) error {
        if len(bytes) == 0 {
            return errors.New("response body is empty")
        }
        
        return nil
    }
}

T

Types for creating custom assertions using Allure Actions and testing.TB.
You can log some information to Allure.
Also you can log error on Allure yourself or just return error.

type AssertBodyT func(t cute.T, body []byte) error
type AssertHeadersT func(t cute.T, headers http.Header) error
type AssertResponseT func(t cute.T, response *http.Response) error

Example with T:

func customAssertBodyTB() cute.AssertBodyT {
    return func(t cute.T, bytes []byte) error {
        require.GreaterOrEqual(t, len(bytes), 100)
        return nil
    }
}

Example with step creations:

func customAssertBodySuite() cute.AssertBodyT {
    return func(t cute.T, bytes []byte) error {
        step := allure.NewSimpleStep("Custom assert step")
        defer func() {
            t.Step(step)
        }()

        if len(bytes) == 0 {
            step.Status = allure.Failed
            step.Attachment(allure.NewAttachment("Error", allure.Text, []byte("response body is empty")))

            return nil
        }

        return nil
    }
}

Allure:

Assert errors

You can use method errors.NewAssertError from package errors:

Example:

import (
    "github.com/ozontech/cute"
    "github.com/ozontech/cute/errors"
)

func customAssertBodyWithCustomError() cute.AssertBody {
    return func(bytes []byte) error {
        if len(bytes) == 0 {
            return errors.NewAssertError("customAssertBodyWithCustomError", "body must be not empty", "len is 0", "len more 0")
        }

        return nil
    }
}

If you'd like to create a pretty error in your custom assert you should implement error with interfaces:

With name

type WithNameError interface {
    GetName() string
}

With actual and expected values

type ExpectedError interface {
    GetActual() interface{}
    GetExpected() interface{}
}

Allure:

Optional assert

If assert returns optional error step will be failed but test will be success.

You can use method errors.NewOptionalError(error) from package errors:

import (
    "github.com/ozontech/cute"
    "github.com/ozontech/cute/errors"
)

func customAssertBodyWithCustomError() cute.AssertBody {
    return func(bytes []byte) error {
        if len(bytes) == 0 {
            return errors.NewOptionalError(fmt.Errorf("body is empty"))
        }

        return nil
    }
}

To create optional error you should implement error with interface

type OptionalError interface {
    IsOptional() bool
    SetOptional()
}
