Feature: Simple form-data POST request

It is now possible to create a simple form-data POST request. A file can also be attached in the process.

To add the file there is the sentence:

Scenario: Post form data
    Given that the file "test.txt" is stored as "FORM_FILE"

The file is placed as a byte array in a separate context, which is emptied again after the scenario is completed for memory reasons.

To execute a form-data request the following sentences are available:

When executing a form-data POST call to "/your/api" with the fields
    | text-form-data-key  | text-form-data-value      |

When executing an authorized form-data POST call to "/your/api" with the fields
    | text-form-data-key  | text-form-data-value      |

The fields are written as key/value datamap.

Examples can be found at src/test/resources/features/form_data/.

Extended Polling

Polling now allows also to check for the HTTP code only.

Unauthorized Example

Scenario: Polling unauthorized until response code is correct with long config
  Given that a requests polls every 1 seconds
  And that a requests polls for 5 times
  And that the API path is "/api/v1/polling"
  When executing a GET poll request until the response code is 200

Authorized Example

Scenario: Polling authorized until response code is correct with short config
  Given that a request polls every 1 seconds for 5 times
  And that the API path is "/api/v1/pollingAuth"
  When executing an authorized GET poll request until the response code is 200

Examples can be found at src/test/resources/features/polling/.

Extended Header Manipulation

Prefix for Header manipulation

Scenario: Add custom header with prefix
  Given I set the header "X-My-Custom-Header" to "ABC_DEF" prefixed by "PRE_"

This sets the header X-My-Custom-Header to the value of ABC_DEF with the prefix PRE_. The prefix and the value can be also a variable name from the context.

Please have a look to the examples at: src/test/resources/features/header/

Release 1.40.0

Updated libraries

• Spring Boot updated to 2.6.1
• Cucumber updated to 7.1.0

Release 1.39.0

Updated libraries

• Spring Boot updated to 2.5.6 because of a memory leak in tomcat
• Cucumber updated to 7.0.0

Enhancements

Added check for headers

If it is required to check if a HTTP header contains a special value, this can be done with the following sentence:

And I ensure, that the header "<header name>" is equal to "<header values>"

Be aware, that headers are always an array. If there are more header values you want to check, please add them comma separated.

Example:

Scenario: Check a header
  When executing an authorized GET call to "/api/v1/header"
  Then I ensure that the status code of the response is 200
  And I ensure, that the header "X-TEST-HEADER" is equal to "present"

This might be used to check if XSS headers are set for example.

See src/test/resources/features/header/header.feature

Release 1.37.0

Updated libraries

• Spring Boot updated to 2.5.5
• Cucumber-JVM updated to 6.11.0

Release 1.36.0

Updated libraries

• Spring Boot updated to 2.5.2
  • With the Spring update Liquibase will also be updated to 4.3.5
• Cucumber-JVM updated to 6.10.4
• Json-Unit updated to 2.27.0

Small enhancements

A user token can be resolved also from context map. If nothing was found there, it uses the given one. This refers to the following sentences:

• that the following users and tokens are existing
• that the user is {string}

In general the ScenarioStateContext class has now a new method called resolveEntry(key: String). This method tries to read the value from the context map for the given key. If the key was not found, it returns the key itself. This may be helpful for own sentences based on the context map.

Possibility to wait

There is a new sentence that allows you to wait some time before proceeding:

  Scenario: Wait for something
    Then I wait for 1000 ms

Examples at: src/test/resources/features/performance/performance.feature

Release 1.35.0

Introduction of date util sentences and extended date validators.

This version introduces some Given sentences to create a date in the past or future. In addition, there is a new matcher that allows to compare this date with a JSON date or a datetime.

Read more at: docs/date_operations.md.

Examples at: src/test/resources/features/date_operations/date_operations.feature

Release 1.34.1

An issue with the new configuration was fixed.

The introduction of the BddProperties class made some problems with not configured properties.

Please ensure also, that you’ve put the library on the configuration scan path:

@ConfigurationPropertiesScan({
        "com.ragin.bdd", "configuration.com.ragin.bdd"
})

Release 1.34.0

Updates

This release updates the Spring dependency to 2.4.5.

It is recommended to update the project also to this version.

New groupId and Maven Central deployment

Because of the deprecation of jcenter, the artifacts are now published on Maven Central.

To be able to do that, the groupId has to be changed to:

Maven

<dependency>
	<groupId>io.github.ragin-lundf</groupId>
	<artifactId>bdd-cucumber-gherkin-lib</artifactId>
	<version>${version.bdd-cucumber-gherkin-lib}</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Gradle

dependencies {
    testImplementation "io.github.ragin-lundf:bdd-cucumber-gherkin-lib:${version.bdd-cucumber-gherkin-lib}"
}

Release 1.32.0

Support for predefined ScenarioContext values

In order to predefine some global ScenarioContext values outside the gherkin definition, it is now possible to add them to the application.yaml/application.properties file.

The key cucumberTests.scenario-context allows to define a set of key/value pairs for the ScenarioContext map:

application.yaml

cucumberTests:
  scenario-context:
    CTX_PRE_DEFINED_USER: Pre Defined
    CTX_PRE_DEFINED_FIRST_ID: abcdefg

application.properties

cucumberTests.scenario-context.CTX_PRE_DEFINED_USER=Pre Defined
cucumberTests.scenario-context.CTX_PRE_DEFINED_FIRST_ID=abcdefg

If many tests require the same data over and over again, it doesn’t make sense to copy and maintain it in every feature.

By defining it in the application file, it can be defined once and used everywhere.

For an example, please have a look at:

• Configuration: application.yml
• Test: global_config/global_config.feature

Release 1.31.0

Supports dynamic URL’s

This version supports the usage of ScenarioContext variables for all URI parameters.

Now it is allowed to write sentences like:

Scenario: Use dynamic URL
  Given that the context contains the following 'key' and 'value' pairs
    | ${MY_DYNAMIC_URL} | https://google.com |
  And that the API path is "${MY_DYNAMIC_URL}"

Release 1.30.0

Support for polling APIs

The polling configuration is automatically reset before each scenario. It can be configured via the background or directly in the scenario.

When the expected HTTP status code and JSON structure has been sent as a response, polling will stop. This allows an endpoint to be polled until it changes state or fail if the state has not changed during the specified time and retry configuration.

The configuration can be done in to ways.

As a single line configuration:

Scenario: Single line configuration
    Given that a request polls every 1 seconds for 5 times

Or as a multiline configuration that supports to specify one of the configurations in the Background and the other in the Scenario (or to have it more readable).

Scenario: Multiline configuration
    Given that a requests polls every 1 seconds
    And that a requests polls for 5 times

The URL/URI and (if required) body have to be preconfigured. Polling itself does simply use previous set body and path definition. To execute a request it supports the well known authorized and unauthorized phrases and it supports direct JSON or JSON from file:

Authorized request with JSON response file:

Scenario: Authorized request with JSON response file
  Given that a request polls every 1 seconds for 5 times
  And that the API path is "/api/v1/polling"
  When executing an authorized GET poll request until the response code is 200 and the body is equal to file "expected.json"

Unauthorized request with JSON response file:

Scenario: Unauthorized request with JSON response file
  Given that a request polls every 1 seconds for 5 times
  And that the API path is "/api/v1/polling"
  When executing a GET poll request until the response code is 200 and the body is equal to file "expected.json"

Authorized request with direct JSON response:

Scenario: Authorized request with JSON response file
  Given that a request polls every 1 seconds for 5 times
  And that the API path is "/api/v1/polling"
  When executing an authorized GET poll request until the response code is 200 and the body is equal to
    """
    {
      "message": "SUCCESSFUL"
    }
    """

Unauthorized request with direct JSON response:

Scenario: Unauthorized request with JSON response file
  Given that a request polls every 1 seconds for 5 times
  And that the API path is "/api/v1/polling"
  When executing a GET poll request until the response code is 200 and the body is equal to
    """
    {
      "message": "SUCCESSFUL"
    }
    """

Examples can be found at src/test/resources/features/polling/.

Release 1.29.1

Support for database-less applications

This version introduces support for applications that do not have a database. To configure the library to run database-less, it is necessary to set up the following configuration in the application.yaml file:

application.properties:

cucumberTest.databaseless=true

or

application.yaml:

cucumberTest:
  databaseless: true

If the databaseless key is not true or missing, the library tries to instantiate the database related beans.

In some cases it is required to disable the database autoconfiguration of Spring Boot:

application.properties:

spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration, org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration

or

application.yaml:

spring:
  autoconfigure:
    exclude: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration, org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration

or as annotation:

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = {DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class, DataSourceTransactionManagerAutoConfiguration.class, HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class})
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
  public static void main (String[] args) {
    ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
  }
}

Please also make sure that the @ContextConfiguration annotation does not contain the DatabaseExecutorService.class.

Release 1.28.0

Proxy support

This can be useful to use the cucumber tests together with burp-scanner.

The proxy can be configured with:

application.properties:

cucumberTest.proxy.host=localhost
cucumberTest.proxy.port=8866

or

application.yaml:

cucumberTest:
  proxy:
    host: localhost
    port: 8866

The host can be an IP or a domain. The port must be higher than 0. If a condition is not met, the proxy is not set.

Default is deactivated.

Disable SSL verification

Along with proxy support, it may be necessary to disable SSL validation as well.

This can be configured via:

application.properties:

cucumberTest.ssl.disableCheck=true

or

application.yaml:

cucumberTest:
  ssl:
    disableCheck: true

Default is false.

Release 1.27.0

Code changes

The Java code was refactored to Kotlin. This should make the code more robust and better maintainable.

Enhanced tests

Tests for the database features were added under src/test/resources/features/database/.

Release 1.26.0

Small bugfix release for proper mismatch messages of the matchers.

Release 1.24.0

New features

Validate execution time of requests

Scenario:
  Then I ensure that the execution time is less than {long} ms

Validates, that the execution of the Scenario has taken less than [n] ms.

Please have a look to the examples at: src/test/resources/features/performance/.

Release 1.23.0

Dependency updates

This release updates some dependencies.

Set the Bearer token dynamically

To be able to set dynamic bearer token, the following sentence can be used:

Feature: Bearer Token
  Scenario: Set bearer token directly
    Given that the Bearer token is "abcdefg"

This sentence is primary looking into the context map, if there is a key with the given value. If this is not the case, it uses the given string directly as the token.

Please have a look to the examples at: src/test/resources/features/header/

Release 1.22.0

The BddCucumberDateTimeFormat for custom date/time formatters has been changed from List<String> with a list of patterns as string to List<DateTimeFormatter>.

Release 1.21.0

Dependencies

Update of dependencies and Cucumber library 6.8.1.

Add own patterns for ${json-unit.matches:isValidDate}

To add own DateTimeFormatter patterns to extend the ${json-unit.matches:isValidDate} range a new class is required that implements the interface BddCucumberDateTimeFormat. The method pattern() must return the date patterns as List<String>.

To register this custom class it is necessary to add it @ContextConfiguration classes definition.

Example:

• Configuration context
• Test feature

Release 1.20.7

Added new DateFormatter for database comparison: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS.

Release 1.20.6

The relative file paths and the absolutePath: keyword are now also valid for loading liquibase scripts.

Release 1.20.5

The executor of the Liquibase scripts has sometimes problems with H2 memory databases, that the H2 connection is closed after the JDBC connection is closed.

This problem can now be solved by setting the following properties:

cucumberTest.liquibase.closeConnection=false

or

cucumberTest:
    liquibase:
      closeConnection: false

The default value is false, which means, that the connection will not be closed.

Release 1.20.4

Adds support to define the target server, if the test library should be used for various tests in an outsourced test repository.

It is now possible to overwrite the protocol, host and port in the application.yaml/application.properties:

application.properties:

cucumberTest.server.protocol=http
cucumberTest.server.host=localhost
cucumberTest.server.port=80

or

application.yaml:

cucumberTest:
    server:
      protocol: "http"
      host: "localhost"
      port: 80

All parameters are optional. If nothing is being defined, it uses the default http://localhost:<LocalServerPort>.

Release 1.20.3

Now it is allowed to use full paths instead of only URIs. This may help if between some external systems has to be called.

The library checks if the path starts with http:// or https://. In these cases, it does not add localhost.

Release 1.20.2

This release fixes the problem, that the sentence to set a header value does not resolve the value first from the context.

Now it is possible to use static values or (if the value matches to the context) previously stored parameters.

Example:

src/test/resources/features/header/

Release 1.20.1

The REST template has thrown an exception in case of 5xx response codes.

This version fixes the issue and returns the correct HTTP code and message.

Release 1.20.0

Introducing user

Define user(s)

With the following sentence it is possible to define multiple users:

Feature: User features
  Background:
    Given that the following users and tokens are existing
    | john_doe    | my_auth_token_for_john_doe    |
    | johana_doe  | my_auth_token_for_johana_doen |

Now every scenario in this feature can use the user with:

  Scenario: Using authorized user john_doe
    Given that the user is "john_doe"

The library selects the right token from the given list and executes the calls with this user. It is also possible to define both in the Background specification. Then all tests will have this user as default:

Feature: User features in global context
  Background:
    Given that the following users and tokens are existing
    | john_doe    | my_auth_token_for_john_doe    |
    And that the user is "john_doe"

Please have a look to the examples at: src/test/resources/features/user/

Release 1.19.0

Fewer sentences but still compatible and more possibilities

This release introduces the parameter {httpMethod} which replaces all sentences with an HTTP method in the name. Allowed values are:

• GET
• POST
• DELETE
• PUT
• PATCH

This reduces the number of Gherkin sentences by 24 and adds 24 new possible sentences because the shorter GET sentences are now also available for all other methods.

Validate only special fields of the response body

Validation of one field

  Scenario: Validate field of the body
    Then I ensure that the body of the response contains a field "list[0]" with the value "First"
    And I ensure that the body of the response contains a field "$.list[1]" with the value "Second"
    Then I ensure that the body of the response contains a field "shouldNotExist" with the value "@bdd_lib_not_exist"

Validation of multiple fields

  Scenario: Validate multiple fields
    And I ensure that the body of the response contains the following fields and values
    | string           | is a string                 |
    | number           | 12                          |
    | uuid             | ${json-unit.matches:isUUID} |
    | $.number         | @bdd_lib_not 15             |
    | list             | ["First","Second"]          |
    | list[0]          | First                       |
    | $.list[0]        | BDD_TEST_LIST_FIRST_ELEMENT |
    | $.list[1]        | Second                      |
    | object.firstname | John                        |
    | object.lastname  | Doe                         |
    | shouldNotExist   | @bdd_lib_not_exist          |

In this case, the fields that should be compared can be given as a data table map. The first column is the field name, the second the expected value.

Description

This sentence compares only the given field of the response. The field can be a JSON path. The library checks if it starts with $.. If it does not start with $. it will be added internally.

To test if a field is NOT present, the reserved word @bdd_lib_not_exist can be used as the value.

To test if a value is NOT the expected value, the reserved word @bdd_lib_not can be used to negate the comparison. It is not possible to use a ! as a negation prefix, because it can also be a valid result.

The library also tries to resolve the value from the context map. If nothing was found, the original value is used.

It is also possible to use JSON-Matcher (user-defined and bdd-cucumber-lib). These are written with the notation ${json-unit.matches:isUUID} (as an example for the UUID-Matcher).

ATTENTION: Only unparameterized custom matchers or bdd lib-matchers can be used for field validation!

Find examples for this feature under: src/test/resources/features/body_validation/.

Reset the scenario context

Scenario: Reset the scenario context
    Given that the stored data in the scenario context map has been reset

Reset the context state map.

Release 1.18.0

Configure the JSON compare to ignore extra elements in arrays

Scenario:
  Given that the response JSON can contain arrays with extra elements

It is also possible to use the @bdd_lib_json_ignore_new_array_elements annotation on Feature or Scenario level.

With this sentence or annotation, the JSON comparison will ignore new array elements.

See src/test/resources/features/flexible_json/ for examples.

Configure the JSON compare to ignore the order of arrays

Scenario:
  Given that the response JSON can contain arrays in a different order

It is also possible to use the @bdd_lib_json_ignore_array_order annotation on Feature or Scenario level.

With this sentence or annotation, the JSON comparison will ignore the order of arrays.

See src/test/resources/features/flexible_json/ for examples.

Configure the JSON compare to ignore extra fields

Scenario:
  Given that the response JSON can contain extra fields

It is also possible to use the @bdd_lib_json_ignore_extra_fields annotation on Feature or Scenario level.

With this sentence or annotation, the JSON comparison will ignore new/not defined fields in the response.

See src/test/resources/features/flexible_json/ for examples.

Release 1.17.0

Absolute file path support

Files can be added as a relative path to a previously given base path or with an “absolute” path with the prefix absolutePath:. In the last case, the system is using the base classpath as root.

Validate response HTTP code and body together

Scenario:
  Then I ensure that the response code is 201 and the body is equal to
    """
    {
      "field": "value",

In this case, the response status code is part of the sentence, and the JSON is written directly under the sentence and enclosed in three double quotation marks. Here it is also possible to use JSON Unit syntax to validate dynamic elements.

Validate response HTTP code and body together with a JSON file

Scenario:
  Then I ensure that the response code is 200 and the body is equal to the file "response.json"

In this case, the response status code, and the JSON file are written together in one sentence. Here it is also possible to use JSON Unit syntax to validate dynamic elements.

Release 1.16.0

• Changing the body manipulation with creating numbers from <number> characters to <number> bdd_lib_numbers (e.g. 10 bdd_lib_numbers).
• Adding bdd_lib_uuid to generate random UUIDs
• Adding a ${json-unit.matches:isValidUUID} which checks, if the string is a valid UUID
• Fixed Authorization header, that this header is only available once, when it is overwritten
• Adding a lot of tests as examples

Release 1.15.0

Adding support in the paths to support templates. If the path contains something like:

/api/v1/${dynamicElement}/

In this case, the dynamicElement will be replaced, if it exists in the ScenarioContext.

Support for adding static key/value pairs to the context:

• Set a static value to the context
• Set multiple static values to the context

Release 1.14.0

Adding support for the JSON path to the “I set the value of” sentence. It now also tries to resolve the value from the ScenarioContext. If nothing is found, it uses the original value.

Release 1.13.0

Adding support for JSON path to the “I store” sentence.

The JSON path can be used with:

$.firstElement[3].nextElement

The library detects, if the path has the prefix $.. If it is not available, it adds this prefix.

Release 1.12.0

• Adding support for adding and manipulating headers.
• Restructured the documentation: HTTP Methods have now their own md files.

Release 1.11.0

• Adding support for JSON matcher which can compare to values in the ScenarioContext. More information: README.md
• Adding support for own custom matcher. More information: README.md

Release 1.9.0

• Correction of the sentence ^that the body of the response is$ to ^that the body of the request is$
