Release Notes

These are informal release notes for gabbi since version 1.0.0, highlighting major features and changes. For more detail see the commit logs on GitHub.

1.30.0

Thanks to Samuel Fekete, tests can use the $HISTORY dictionary to refer to any prior test in the same file, not just the one immediately prior, when doing substitutions <state-substitution>.

1.29.0

Filenames used to read data into tests using the <@ syntax may now use pathnames relative to the YAML file. See data.

gabbi-run <runner> gains a --verbose parameter to force all tests run in a session to run with verbose <metadata> set.

When using pytest <pytest_loader> to load tests, a new mechanism is available which avoids warnings produced in when using a version of pytest greater than 3.0.

1.28.0

When verbosely displaying request and response bodies that are JSON, pretty print for improved readability.

1.27.0

Allow gabbi-run <runner> to accept multiple filenames as command line arguments instead of reading tests from stdin.

1.26.0

Switch from response handlers to handlers to allow more flexible processing of both response _and request bodies.

Add inner fixtures <inner-fixtures> for per test fixtures, useful for output capturing.

1.25.0

Allow the test_loader_name arg to gabbi.driver.build_tests to override the prefix of the pretty printed name of generated tests.

1.24.0

String values in JSONPath matches may be wrapped in /.../` to be treated as regular expressions.

1.23.0

Better documentation <loader> of how to run gabbi in a concurrent environment. Improved handling of pytest fixtures and test counts.

1.22.0

Add url to gabbi.driver.build_tests to use instead of host, port and prefix.

1.21.0

Add require_ssl to gabbi.driver.build_tests to force use of SSL.

1.20.0

Add $COOKIE substitution <state-substitution>.

1.19.1

Correctly support IPV6 hosts.

1.19.0

Add $LAST_URL substitution <state-substitution>.

1.17.0

Introduce support for loading and running tests with pytest.

1.16.0

Use urllib3 instead of httplib2 for driving HTTP requests.

1.13.0

Add sorting and filtering to jsonpath handling.

1.11.0

Add the response_forbidden_headers to response expectations <response-expectations>.

1.7.0

Instead of:

tests:
- name: a simple get
  url: /some/path
  method: get

1.7.0 also makes it possible to:

tests:
- name: a simple get
  GET: /some/path

Any upper case key is treated as a method.

1.4.0 and 1.5.0

Enhanced flexibility and colorization when setting tests to be verbose <metadata>.

1.3.0

Adds the query_parameters key to request parameters <request-parameters>.

1.2.0

The start of improvements and extensions to jsonpath handling. In this case the addition of the len function.

1.1.0

Vastly improved output and behavior in gabbi-run <runner>.

1.0.0

Version 1 was the first release with a commitment to a stable format. Since then new fields have been added but have not been taken away.
