tepi [OPTIONS] [FILES|GLOBS...]

Options:

  • -w --watch Watch files for changes and rerun tests.
  • -t --timeout Set the timeout for each test in milliseconds. After the timeout, the test will fail.
  • -f --fail-fast Stop running tests after the first failure.
  • -d --display Set the display mode. (none, minimal, default and full) * none: display nothing * minimal: display only a minimal summary * default: list results and full error summary * full: display also all HTTP requests and responses
  • -h --help output usage information

Examples:

tepi

Run all .http in the current directory and folders. (same as tepi ./**/*.http)

tepi test.http ./test2.http

Run test.http and test2.http

tepi **/*.http

Run all .http in the current directory and folders.

tepi rest.http --watch

Run rest.http and rerun when it changes

tepi rest.http --watch "src/**/*.ts"

Run rest.http and rerun when any .ts file in the src folder changes.

tepi rest.http --watch "src/**/*.json" --watch "src/**/*.ts"

You can use multiple --watch flags. Note: You can use globs here too, but use quotes to avoid the shell expanding them.

tepi --timeout 10000

Set the timeout for each test in milliseconds. After the timeout, the test will fail.

tepi --fail-fast

Stop running tests after the first failure.

tepi --display minimal

Set the display mode. (none, minimal, default and full)

tepi --env-file .env --env-file .env.test

Load environment variables from a .env and .env.test

HTTP syntax:

You can use the standard HTTP syntax in your .http files to run a request and response validation. Use the ### to separate the requests. Use frontmatter yaml to set metadata.


# use yaml front matter before the request
---
ref: loginTest
---
POST https://example.com/onlyAdmin
Authorization: Bearer <%= (await loginTest.response.getBody()).jwt %>
Content-Type: application/json

{"name": "Garn"}

# write the expected response to validate the actual response
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

###  requests separator
---
name: optional name
timeout: 500 # must respond in less than 500ms
---
GET /?body=hola&status=400
host: https://faker.deno.dev

Interpolation:

It deno 🔥

Uses eta templates: https://deno.land/x/eta

Use <%= %> to interpolate values.

All the std assertion module is available: https://deno.land/std/testing/asserts.ts Use <% %> to run custom assertions. For example:


GET  http://localhost:3000/users

<% assert(response.status === 200) %>
