# httpexpect [](https://godoc.org/github.com/gavv/httpexpect) [](https://gitter.im/gavv/httpexpect?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) [](https://travis-ci.org/gavv/httpexpect) [](https://coveralls.io/github/gavv/httpexpect?branch=master)
|
|
|
|
Concise, declarative, and easy to use end-to-end HTTP and REST API testing for Go (golang).
|
|
|
|
Basically, httpexpect is a set of chainable *builders* for HTTP requests and *assertions* for HTTP responses and payload, on top of net/http and several utility packages.
|
|
|
|
Workflow:
|
|
|
|
* Incrementally build HTTP requests.
|
|
* Inspect HTTP responses.
|
|
* Inspect response payload recursively.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
##### Request builder
|
|
|
|
* URL path construction, with simple string interpolation provided by [`go-interpol`](https://github.com/imkira/go-interpol) package.
|
|
* URL query parameters (encoding using [`go-querystring`](https://github.com/google/go-querystring) package).
|
|
* Headers, cookies, payload: JSON, urlencoded or multipart forms (encoding using [`form`](https://github.com/ajg/form) package), plain text.
|
|
* Custom reusable [request builders](#reusable-builders).
|
|
|
|
##### Response assertions
|
|
|
|
* Response status, predefined status ranges.
|
|
* Headers, cookies, payload: JSON, JSONP, forms, text.
|
|
* Round-trip time.
|
|
* Custom reusable [response matchers](#reusable-matchers).
|
|
|
|
##### Payload assertions
|
|
|
|
* Type-specific assertions, supported types: object, array, string, number, boolean, null, datetime.
|
|
* Regular expressions.
|
|
* Simple JSON queries (using subset of [JSONPath](http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/)), provided by [`jsonpath`](https://github.com/yalp/jsonpath) package.
|
|
* [JSON Schema](http://json-schema.org/) validation, provided by [`gojsonschema`](https://github.com/xeipuuv/gojsonschema) package.
|
|
|
|
##### WebSocket support (thanks to [@tyranron](https://github.com/tyranron))
|
|
|
|
* Upgrade an HTTP connection to a WebSocket connection (we use [`gorilla/websocket`](https://github.com/gorilla/websocket) internally).
|
|
* Interact with the WebSocket server.
|
|
* Inspect WebSocket connection parameters and WebSocket messages.
|
|
|
|
##### Pretty printing
|
|
|
|
* Verbose error messages.
|
|
* JSON diff is produced on failure using [`gojsondiff`](https://github.com/yudai/gojsondiff/) package.
|
|
* Failures are reported using [`testify`](https://github.com/stretchr/testify/) (`assert` or `require` package) or standard `testing` package.
|
|
* Dumping requests and responses in various formats, using [`httputil`](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/httputil/), [`http2curl`](https://github.com/moul/http2curl), or simple compact logger.
|
|
|
|
##### Tuning
|
|
|
|
* Tests can communicate with server via real HTTP client or invoke `net/http` or [`fasthttp`](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp/) handler directly.
|
|
* Custom HTTP client, logger, printer, and failure reporter may be provided by user.
|
|
* Custom HTTP request factory may be provided, e.g. from the Google App Engine testing.

## Status
|
|
|
|
Stable branches are available on [`gopkg.in`](http://labix.org/gopkg.in) and will not introduce backward-incompatible changes.
|
|
|
|
Current stable branch is [`v2`](http://gopkg.in/gavv/httpexpect.v2):
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import "gopkg.in/gavv/httpexpect.v2"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Development is done in `master` branch on github:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import "github.com/gavv/httpexpect"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the master is merged into a stable branch, a new version tag is assigned to the branch head. The versions are selected according to the [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) scheme.

e.GET("/path").WithURL("http://example.com").
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusOK)
|
|
|
|
e.GET("/path").WithURL("http://subdomain.example.com").
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusOK)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### WebSocket support
|
|
|
|

|
Expect().
|
|
TextMessage().Body().Equal("some response")
|
|
|
|
ws.CloseWithText("bye").
|
|
Expect().
|
|
CloseMessage().NoContent()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Reusable builders
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
e := httpexpect.New(t, "http://example.com")
|
|
|
|
r := e.POST("/login").WithForm(Login{"ford", "betelgeuse7"}).
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusOK).JSON().Object()
|
|
|
|
token := r.Value("token").String().Raw()
|
|
|
|
auth := e.Builder(func (req *httpexpect.Request) {
|
|
req.WithHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+token)
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
auth.GET("/restricted").
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusOK)
|
|
|
|
e.GET("/restricted").
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusUnauthorized)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Reusable matchers
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
e := httpexpect.New(t, "http://example.com")
|
|
|
|
// every response should have this header
|
|
m := e.Matcher(func (resp *httpexpect.Response) {
|
|
resp.Header("API-Version").NotEmpty()
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
m.GET("/some-path").
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusOK)
|
|
|
|
m.GET("/bad-path").
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusNotFound)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Custom config
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
e := httpexpect.WithConfig(httpexpect.Config{
|
|
// prepend this url to all requests
|
|
BaseURL: "http://example.com",
|
|
|
|
// use http.Client with a cookie jar and timeout
|
|
Client: &http.Client{
|
|
Jar: httpexpect.NewJar(),
|
|
Timeout: time.Second * 30,
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
// use fatal failures
|
|
Reporter: httpexpect.NewRequireReporter(t),
|
|
|
|
// use verbose logging
|
|
Printers: []httpexpect.Printer{
|
|
httpexpect.NewCurlPrinter(t),
|
|
httpexpect.NewDebugPrinter(t, true),
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Session support
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// cookie jar is used to store cookies from server
|
|
e := httpexpect.WithConfig(httpexpect.Config{
|
|
Reporter: httpexpect.NewAssertReporter(t),
|
|
Client: &http.Client{
|
|
Jar: httpexpect.NewJar(), // used by default if Client is nil
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// cookies are disabled
|
|
e := httpexpect.WithConfig(httpexpect.Config{
|
|
Reporter: httpexpect.NewAssertReporter(t),
|
|
Client: &http.Client{
|
|
Jar: nil,
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Use HTTP handler directly
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// invoke http.Handler directly using httpexpect.Binder
|
|
var handler http.Handler = MyHandler()
|
|
|
|
e := httpexpect.WithConfig(httpexpect.Config{
|
|
Reporter: httpexpect.NewAssertReporter(t),
|
|
Client: &http.Client{
|
|
Transport: httpexpect.NewBinder(handler),
|
|
Jar: httpexpect.NewJar(),
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// invoke fasthttp.RequestHandler directly using httpexpect.FastBinder
|
|
var handler fasthttp.RequestHandler = myHandler()
|
|
|
|
e := httpexpect.WithConfig(httpexpect.Config{
|
|
Reporter: httpexpect.NewAssertReporter(t),
|
|
Client: &http.Client{
|
|
Transport: httpexpect.NewFastBinder(handler),
|
|
Jar: httpexpect.NewJar(),
|
|
},
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Per-request client or handler
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
e := httpexpect.New(t, server.URL)
|
|
|
|
client := &http.Client{
|
|
Transport: &http.Transport{
|
|
DisableCompression: true,
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// overwrite client
|
|
e.GET("/path").WithClient(client).
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusOK)
|
|
|
|
// construct client that invokes a handler directly and overwrite client
|
|
e.GET("/path").WithHandler(handler).
|
|
Expect().
|
|
Status(http.StatusOK)
|
|
```
