  2. Create a bridge network in Docker using the following docker network create command:

docker network create keploy-network
  1. Run the following command to start the Keploy container:
alias keploy="docker run --name keploy-v2 -p 16789:16789 --network keploy-network --privileged --pid=host -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup -v /sys/kernel/debug:/sys/kernel/debug -v /sys/fs/bpf:/sys/fs/bpf -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --rm ghcr.io/keploy/keploy"
Running Keploy Natively on MacOS by setting up a linux env

Downloading and running Keploy in Native using Debian on MacOS

  1. Open the terminal Session.
  2. Run the following command
limactl show-ssh --format=config debian-12 & add it to its ssh config
  1. Open a remote window on your code editor

Downloading and running Keploy in Native

Downloading and running Keploy in Native

Prequisites:

  • Linux Kernel version 5.15 or higher
  • Run uname -a to verify the system architecture.
  • In case of Windows, use WSL with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or higher.
Downloading and running Keploy On WSL/Linux AMD

On WSL/Linux AMD

  1. Open the terminal Session.
  2. Run the following command to download and install Keploy:
curl --silent --location "https://github.com/keploy/keploy/releases/latest/download/keploy_linux_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz --overwrite -C /tmp

  1. Open the terminal Session
  2. Run the following command to download and install Keploy:
curl --silent --location "https://github.com/keploy/keploy/releases/latest/download/keploy_linux_arm64.tar.gz" | tar xz --overwrite -C /tmp
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo mv /tmp/keploy /usr/local/bin/keploy

Note: Keploy is not supported on MacOS natively.

Setting up the Docker Desktop for WSL 2

  1. Install Docker Desktop for Windows from here.

When developing on Windows with Docker Desktop and WSL 2, it's crucial to configure Docker Desktop to allow WSL 2 distributions to access the Docker daemon. This setup enables seamless integration between your Windows environment, WSL 2 Linux distros, and Docker.

By default, Docker Desktop may not be configured to work with all WSL 2 distros out of the box. Proper configuration ensures that you can run Docker commands from within your WSL 2 environment, allowing for a more native Linux development experience while leveraging the power of Windows.

This setup is essential for Keploy to function correctly in a WSL 2 environment, as it needs to interact with the Docker daemon to manage containers and networks effectively. For detailed instructions on how to configure Docker Desktop for WSL 2, please refer to the official Docker documentation.

With Arkade

With Arkade

  1. Installing Arkade
# Note: you can also run without `sudo` and move the binary yourself
curl -sLS https://get.arkade.dev | sudo sh

arkade --help
ark --help # a handy alias

# Windows users with Git Bash
curl -sLS https://get.arkade.dev | sh
  1. Install Keploy
arkade get keploy

Or you can also download specific version of Keploy using the following command:

arkade get keploy@2.2.0-alpha23

🎉 Wohoo! We are all set to use Keploy.

🎬 Capturing Testcases

To begin recording your application's API calls, open your terminal and navigate to your application directory using the cd command. Then, execute the following command:

keploy record -c "npm start"

Make API Calls using Hoppscotch, Postman or curl command. Keploy will capture those calls to generate the test-suites containing testcases and data mocks.

1. Give Product details
POST REQUEST

curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/api/products \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{
"name" : "airpods",
"quantity": 4,
"price": 20000
}'

Here's a response of what you get:

{
"name": "airpods",
"quantity": 4,
"price": 20000,
"_id": "6629499175a4795410ee4012",
"createdAt": "2024-04-24T18:04:01.499Z",
"updatedAt": "2024-04-24T18:04:01.499Z",
"__v": 0
}

2. Get the Product details
GET REQUEST

curl --location --request GET 'http://localhost:3000/api/products/:id'

Replace the :id, with the id of the product of which you want the details in the upcoming API request!

3. Update the Product details
PUT REQUEST

curl --location --request PUT 'http://localhost:3000/api/products/:id' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"name": "airpods",
"quantity": 4,
"price": 20000
}'

4. Delete a Product details
DELETE REQUEST

curl --location --request DELETE 'http://localhost:8080/potions/:id'

🎉 Easy right! Just one API call and you've whipped up a test case with a mock. Check out the Keploy directory to find your shiny new test-1.yml and mocks.yml files.

Run keploy test

Want to see it in action? Run the following command to execute your Keploy tests

keploy test -c "npm run" --delay 10

Great job following along 🥳! Now, let's dive deeper and explore how to do Keploy integration with jest test 📌

Get Keploy jest sdk

npm i @keploy/sdk nyc jest

Update package file

Update the package.json file that runs the application:

 "scripts": {
//other scripts
"test": "jest --coverage --collectCoverageFrom='src/**/*.{js,jsx}'",
"coverage": "nyc npm test && npm run coverage:merge && npm run coverage:report",
"coverage:merge": "mkdir -p ./coverage && nyc merge ./coverage .nyc_output/out.json",
"coverage:report": "nyc report --reporter=lcov --reporter=text"
//other scripts
}

Usage

For the code coverage for the keploy API tests using the jest integration, you need to add the following test to your Jest test file. It can be called as keploy.test.js. Jest test file. It can be called as keploy.test.js.

const {expect} = require("@jest/globals");
const keploy = require("@keploy/sdk");
const timeOut = 300000;

describe(
"Keploy Server Tests",
() => {
test(
"TestKeploy",
(done) => {
const cmd = "npm start";
const options = {};
keploy.Test(cmd, options, (err, res) => {
if (err) {
done(err);
} else {
expect(res).toBeTruthy(); // Assert the test result
done();
}
});
},
timeOut
);
},
timeOut
);

Now let's run jest tests along keploy using command

npm test

To get Combined coverage with keploy test coverage

npm run coverage
