fellowship 0.1.0

Library for testing api endpoints

contract-test-framework contains an implementation of contract testing in Python with support for REST and gRPC. Under the package name fellowship

How to use from console

REST

If you want to validate a REST API, run Fellowship in validate mode. If your contracts follow the Jinja2 syntax, make sure that you give the path to config.yaml in environment variable contract_test_config. You can see examples of contracts and config at example_contract.json. Request part of the contract specifies the endpoint to make the request to. While everything under properties defines the JSON schema to validate against. Fellowship validates these contracts against a meta-schema before it makes the request. Example of how to run from console:

$ fellowship validate path/to/contract_directory/

To generate a contract in console, run in generate mode, with the following syntax:: fellowship generate path_of_the contract_to_generate request_kwargs expected_json. Request_kwargs is the request as a dictionary, the dictionary can take following parameters:

• url: can be given as a full url, or just the endpoint (/api/v1/test)

  it will then fill out the Jinja 2 syntax for you

  {{ config.protocol }}://{{ config.host}}/api/v1/test, when validating

  protocol and config will be filled from config.yaml
• headers: can be given as a dictionary {“Accept”: “application/json”}, if

  left empty it will automatically fill as

  {{ config.default_headers | jsonify }}.

• data: The body of the request

The last expected argument is the expected json response from the Rest API. The contract will generate with only types and required for all fields. If you want to validate the values, you need to fill the consts and enums manually.

$ fellowship generate sample.json '{"url": "/test", "method": "GET"}' \
  '{"json": "expected_response"}'

gRPC

For gRPC validation, run Fellowship in validate gRPC mode. It takes the same syntax as validate for REST. But make sure that you only have one type of contracts in the directory that you validate.

To generate gRPC contracts you run Fellowship in generate_grpc mode. It takes the output directory path as first argument and the proto file to use as a basis for generation as second argument. It will generate contracts for all services and all their functions. The contracts will be output to directory given in the path argument.

Features

gRPC and REST endpoint contract testing and contract rendering.

Future development plans includes to support message-based communication

Installation

fellowship is available on PyPI. You can install using pip:

$ pip install fellowship

Running the Test Suite

If you have tox installed (perhaps via pip install tox or your package manager), running tox in the directory of your source checkout will run fellowship’s test suite.
