PactumJS
Test Style
Tests in pactum are clear and comprehensive. It uses numerous descriptive methods to build your requests and expectations.
Write tests in two styles
- Chaining the request & expectations (Builder Style)
- Breaking the request & expectations (BDD Style)
Builder Style
All request and assertion methods are chained together.
js
const { spec } = require('pactum');
it('should get first post', async () => {
await spec()
.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
.expectStatus(200)
.expectJsonLike({
"userId": 1,
"id": 1
})
});
BDD Style
Request and assertion methods are invoked in different statements to make them more readable.
js
const { spec } = require('pactum');
describe('Posts', () => {
const _spec = spec();
it('should make a request to json-placeholder', async () => {
_spec.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/{id}');
});
it('should get first post', async () => {
_spec.withPathParams('id', '1');
});
it('should receive a response', async () => {
await _spec.toss();
});
it('should have a status code of 200', async () => {
_spec.response().to.have.status(200);
});
it('should have a user id of 1', async () => {
_spec.response().to.have.json('userId', 1);
});
});
TIP
Normal assertion methods like expectStatus or expectJson will only work if called before the toss method.
