🎬 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

Wrapping it up 🎉

Congratulations! You've conquered Keploy and unleashed its power for effortless testing in your NodeJS application. With Jest by your side, you can ensure rock-solid code coverage. Time to go forth and build amazing things! 🧑🏻‍💻
