# Fixtures can be used to set any necessary configuration, such as a # persistence layer, and establish sample data. They operate per # file. They are context managers, each one wrapping the next in the # sequence. fixtures: - ConfigFixture - SampleDataFixture # There is an included fixture named "SkipAllFixture" which can be # used to declare that all the tests in the given file are to be # skipped. # Each test file can specify a set of defaults that will be used for # every request. This is useful for always specifying a particular # header or always requiring SSL. These values will be used on every # test in the file unless overriden. Lists and dicts are merged one # level deep, except for "data" which is copied verbatim whether it # is a string, list or dict (it can be all three). defaults: ssl: True request_headers: x-my-token: zoom # The tests themselves are a list under a "tests" key. It's useful # to use plenty of whitespace to help readability. tests: # Each request *must* have a name which is unique to the file. When it # becomes a TestCase the name will be lowercased and spaces will # become "_". Use that generated name when limiting test runs. - name: a test for root desc: Some explanatory text that could be used by other tooling # The URL can either be relative to a host specified elsewhere or # be a fully qualified "http" or "https" URL. *You* are responsible # for url-encoding the URL. url: / # If no status or method are provided they default to "200" and # "GET". # A single test can override settings in defaults (set above). - name: root without ssl redirects ssl: False url: / status: 302 # When evaluating response headers it is possible to use a regular # expression to not have to test the whole value. response_headers: location: /https/ # By default redirects will not be followed.
