Examples
Strict Deep Equal
js
const { spec } = require('pactum');
await spec()
.get('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
.expectJson({
"data": {
"id": 1,
"email": "george.bluth@reqres.in",
"first_name": "George",
"last_name": "Bluth",
"avatar": "https://reqres.in/img/faces/1-image.jpg"
},
"support": {
"url": "https://reqres.in/#support-heading",
"text": "To keep ReqRes free, contributions towards server costs are appreciated!"
}
});
Using json path
js
const { spec } = require('pactum');
await spec()
.get('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
.expectJson('data.first_name', 'George')
.expectJson('data.last_name', 'Bluth');
Using data template
js
const { spec, stash } = require('pactum');
stash.addDataTemplate({
'FIRST_USER': {
"data": {
"id": 1,
"email": "george.bluth@reqres.in",
"first_name": "George",
"last_name": "Bluth",
"avatar": "https://reqres.in/img/faces/1-image.jpg"
},
"support": {
"url": "https://reqres.in/#support-heading",
"text": "To keep ReqRes free, contributions towards server costs are appreciated!"
}
}
});
await spec()
.get('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
.expectJson('FIRST_USER');
Using file path
js
const { spec } = require('pactum');
await spec()
.get('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
.expectJson('./data/user.json');
Using file name
js
const { spec } = require('pactum');
await spec()
.get('https://reqres.in/api/users/1')
.expectJson('user.json') // searches for the file inside the data folder
.expectStatus(201);
