Variables available in multiple scenarios
Hi,
Let me explain :)
I'm profiling an api, and I need to call my login page which return a token I need to pass to all my next calls.
Currently, to do this, I call /login, then set token json('token') and use that token in my header of the next requests in the same scenario. The issue is that I need that token for all my scenarios, so I have to login at the begining of each one.
That would be great to call only once the /login page and set my token as a variable available in all my next scenarios.
May be some code would be more explicit :
currenlty:
group login
visit url('/login')
header 'accept: "application/json"'
method 'POST'
body
"""
{
"username": "user",
"password": "pass"
}
"""
expect status_code() == 200
set token json('token')
scenario
name "Feature 1"
include login
visit url('/feature-1')
header 'content-type: "application/json"'
header 'X-TOKEN: ' ~ token
expect status_code() == 200
scenario
name "Feature 2"
include login
visit url('/feature-2')
header 'content-type: "application/json"'
header 'X-TOKEN: ' ~ token
expect status_code() == 200
include login is repeated and increase the time of the whole blackfire profile.
What would be great:
scenario
name "Login"
visit url('/login')
header 'accept: "application/json"'
method 'POST'
body
"""
{
"username": "user",
"password": "pass"
}
"""
expect status_code() == 200
setGlobal token json('token')
scenario
name "Feature 1"
visit url('/feature-1')
header 'content-type: "application/json"'
header 'X-TOKEN: ' ~ token
expect status_code() == 200
scenario
name "Feature 2"
visit url('/feature-2')
header 'content-type: "application/json"'
header 'X-TOKEN: ' ~ token
expect status_code() == 200
What do you think ?
I liked the idea.
The issue is that currently, scenarios can be run concurently. So we have to find a way to mark the scenario as a requirement.
Most of the testing framework has some hooks to stick before / after scenarios. What do you think about something similar that are not executed concurently? For example:
beforeAll
visit url('/login')
header 'accept: "application/json"'
method 'POST'
body
"""
{
"username": "user",
"password": "pass"
}
"""
expect status_code() == 200
set token json('token')
beforeEach
visit url('/refersh-token?token=' ~ token)
header 'accept: "application/json"'
method 'POST'
expect status_code() == 200
set token json('token')
scenario
name "Feature 1"
visit url('/feature-1')
header 'content-type: "application/json"'
header 'X-TOKEN: ' ~ token
expect status_code() == 200
WDYT?
