Feature: Doing http requests

  Scenario: Send text body and headers
    Given I set header "X-My-Header" with value "Something"
    And I set header "Content-Type" with value "application/json"
    When I send a POST request to "/requests/echo" with body:
    """
    {
        "a": 1,
        "b": "",
        "c": "0101",
        "d": "[01]+"
    }
    """
    Then the response code should be 200
    And the response should contain json:
    """
        {
            "headers": {
                "X-My-Header": "Something"
            },
            "body": {
                "a": "<is_number>",
                "b": "%.*%",
                "c": "%[01]+%",
                "d": "[01]+"
            }
        }
    """

  Scenario: Send file using variables and environment variables
    Given I set the variable "DATA_DIR" with value "$PWD/features/data"
    And I attach the file "$DATA_DIR/favicon.ico" as "upload"
    When I send a POST request to "/requests/echo"
    Then the response code should be 200
    And print response

And run using BASE_URL environment variable:

BASE_URL=localhost:5000 behave features/requests.feature

Available Steps

• Given I set variable “{}” with value “{}”

• Given I set header “{}” with value “{}”

• Given I attach the file “{}” as “{}”

• When I send a {} request to “{}” with body:

• When I send a {} request to “{}” with values:

• When I send a {} request to “{}”

• Then the response code should be {}

• Then the response should contain json:

• Then the response should contain text:

• Then print response
