🛠️ Platform-Specific Requirements for Keploy

Below is a table summarizing the tools needed for both native and Docker installations of Keploy on MacOS, Windows, and Linux:

Operating SystemWithout DockerDocker InstallationPrerequisites
MacOS MacOSNot SupportedSupportedDocker Desktop version must be 4.25.2 or above
Windows WindowsSupportedSupported- Use WSL wsl --install
- Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11

Other Installation Methods

Install using Docker

Downloading and running Keploy in Docker

On macOS

Note : Keploy is not supported natively on MacOS, so you can follow the below method to run with docker

  1. Open up a terminal window.

  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
  2. Click on connect to host
  3. Now select the configured SSH as "lima-debian"
  4. Once you are in the terminal run the following commands to go into your directory
cd /Users
cd /{Username}
  1. Run the following command to 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
  1. Run the following command to install Zsh
sudo apt-get -y install zsh

Why? : zsh (Z Shell) is an advanced shell that offers enhanced features compared to the default bash shell. It provides better autocompletion, advanced globbing, improved history management, and more customization options.

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

Lights, Camera, Record! 🎥

Docker installation and running the mongodb compass

Here I'm using WSL , so follow below steps to configure docker with mongo db compass

1. Install docker in your windows and follow this tutorial to connect with mongodb compass :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEPZqSvKx40&list=PLff_PESolMjuDXQdjiqYRW_GnDQjU32QX

2. after installing docker and running those commands in video use this command as well to create a network:

docker network create keploy-network

*url should look something like this depending on your connection you can adjust, also update your .env file with mongodb_url:mongodb://127.0.0.1:27023/courses.

Capturing Testcases

keploy record -c "npm start"

if using wsl use this :

sudo -E env PATH=$PATH keploy record -c 'npm start'

🔥 Challenge time! Generate some test cases. How? Just make some API calls. Postman, Hoppscotch or even curl - take your pick!

Let's generate the testcases.

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

🎉 Woohoo! With a simple API call, you've crafted a test case with a mock! Dive into the Keploy directory and feast your eyes on the newly minted test-1.yml and mocks.yml after doing below steps

Time to perform API magic! Follow the breadcrumbs... or Make more API Calls

Some api calls you can make

Get request - Get all courses

curl --request GET \
--url http://localhost:3000/courses

Post request - Add a new course

curl --location 'http://localhost:3000/courses' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'title=react advance' \
--data-urlencode 'description=advance' \
--data-urlencode 'price=1000' \
--data-urlencode 'published=true'

Put request - Add a new course

  • Make sure to replace id of course
curl --location --request PUT 'http://localhost:3000/courses/6626a9cd3840cb305c0a6d52' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'title=react advance'

Delete request - Delete a course

  • Make sure to replace id of course
curl --location --request DELETE 'http://localhost:3000/courses/6626a9cd3840cb305c0a6d52'

🎉 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.

Did you spot the new test and mock scrolls in your project library? Awesome! 👏

Run Tests

Time to put things to the test 🧪

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

If using wsl use this :

keploy -E env PATH=$PATH keploy test -c 'npm start' --delay 10

Keploy test report: image

The --delay flag? Oh, that's just giving your app a little breather (in seconds) before the test cases come knocking.

To Run test using jest use this command :

npm test

jest test coverage report :

Screenshot 2024-04-22 025850

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
