What is the http client used by PactumJS #

PactumJS under the hood uses phin.js for http/https requests.

Can PactumJS conditionally proxy or pass through requests sent to mock server to external servers? #

PactumJS currently cannot conditionally proxy or pass-through requests, be it in full or partial sent to mock server to external servers.

How disable or ignore SSL certificate errors in PactumJS? #

Yes, it is possible to disable SSL certificate checks/erros similar to "" in NodeJS. Set the rejectUnauthorized flag to false in the agent configuration before firing the request.

const https = require('https');
const pactum = require('pactum');

// If you have the cert/key pair
const key = fs.readFileSync("server.key")
const cert = fs.readFileSync("server.crt")

const agent = new https.Agent({
  cert: cert, // Optional - add if cert available 
  key: key, // Optional - add if key is available 
  rejectUnauthorized: false // Ignore  certificate errors
});

pactum.spec()
    .get('https://api.example.com')
    .withCore({agent: agent })
    .expectStatus(200)

What kinds of API testing does PactumJS? #

PactumJS currently only support REST/GraphQL API testing over http(s).
