Module: Inferno::DSL::HTTPClient

Defined in:
lib/inferno/dsl/http_client.rb

Overview

This module contains the HTTP DSL available to test writers.

Examples:

class MyTestGroup < Inferno::TestGroup
  # create a "default" client for a group
  http_client do
    url 'https://example.com/'
  end

  test :some_test do
    run do
      # performs a GET to https://example.com
      get
      # performs a GET to https://example.com/abc
      get('abc')

      request  # the most recent request
      response # the most recent response
      requests # all of the requests which have been made in this test
