An HTTP API centric BDD style test framework

Expectly - An HTTP API centric BDD style test framework
-------------------------------------------------------

|travis| |pypi| |docs|

Use Cases:

- Making assertions about api responses more readable
- Extending expectly with new assertions to reduce boilerplate


.. DANGER::

This library is in alpha. I will try my utmost to not make backwards incompatible changes
but it is possible that

Installing
==========

.. code-block:: shell

$ pip install expectly

API Examples
============

Built In Assertion methods
**************************

.. code-block:: python

# status_code (with status code number)
expect(response).to.have.status_code(200)

# header (asserts the header exists). Sets the header value to be further tested against
expect(response).to.have.header('Content-Type')

# equals
expect(response).to.have.header('Content-Type').equal('application/json')

# like (does a regex match against the value)
expect(response).to.have.header('Content-Type').like('application')

# exactly_like (does a regex match against the whole value
expect(response).to.have.header('Content-Type').exactly_like('^application/[\w]*$')

# encoding
expect(response).to.have.encoding('utf-8')

# ok (uses requests.response.ok attribute)
expect(response).to.be.ok


Extending expectly.expect with additional assertions
****************************************************

TODO

JSON handling in expectly
*************************


jsonschema is used for evaluating whether json responses match the relevant schema
jmespath is used for navigating/selecting information to test inside of the json response


Development
===========

.. code-block:: shell

$ git clone https://github.com/huntcsg/expectly.git
$ cd expectly
$ ./utils/manage clean
$ ./utils/manage test
$ ./utils/manage docs


1. All pull requests must pass the travis-ci builds
2. All pull requests should include inline (docstring) documentation, updates to built documentation if applicable,
and test coverage. This project aspires to be a 100% test coverage library.
