🪄 Dive into the world of User CRUD Apps and see how seamlessly Keploy integrated with FastAPI and PostgreSQL. Buckle up, it's gonna be a fun ride! 🎢

🛠️ 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
Linux LinuxSupportedSupportedLinux kernel 5.15 or higher

On MacOS and Windows, additional tools are required for Keploy due to the lack of native eBPF support.

Quick Installation

Let's get started by setting up the Keploy alias with this command:

 curl --silent -O -L https://keploy.io/install.sh && source install.sh

You should see something like this:

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"

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.

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
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo mv /tmp/keploy /usr/local/bin/keploy

On WSL/Linux ARM

  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.

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

Setup the PostgreSQL Database 📦

Clone the sample Student Data CRUD app 🧪

git clone https://github.com/keploy/samples-python.git && cd samples-python/fastapi-postgres

Installation Keploy

Depending on your OS, choose your adventure:

There are 2 ways you can run this sample application.

Using Docker Compose 🐳

We will be using Docker compose to run the application as well as Postgres on Docker container.

Lights, Camera, Record! 🎥

Capture the test-cases-

keploy record -c "docker compose up" --container-name "fastapi-app" --build-delay 50

🔥Make some API calls. Postman, Hoppscotch or even curl - take your pick!

Let's make URLs short and sweet:

Generate testcases

To generate testcases we just need to make some API calls.

1. Make a POST request

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"name": "Eva White",
"email": "evawhite@example.com",
"password": "evawhite111"
}'

2. Make a GET request

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/'

3. Make a PUT request

curl --location --request PUT 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/1' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw ' {
"name": "John Dow",
"email": "doe.john@example.com",
"password": "johndoe123",
"stream": "Arts"
}'

4. Make a GET request

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/1'

5. Make a DELETE request

curl --location --request DELETE 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/1'

Give yourself a pat on the back! With that simple spell, you've conjured up a test case with a mock! Explore the Keploy directory and you'll discover your handiwork in test-1.yml and mocks.yml.

Want to see if everything works as expected?

Run Tests

Time to put things to the test 🧪

keploy test -c "docker compose up" --container-name "fastapi-app" --build-delay 50  --delay 10

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

Final thoughts? Dive deeper! Try different API calls, tweak the DB response in the mocks.yml, or fiddle with the request or response in test-x.yml. Run the tests again and see the magic unfold!✨👩‍💻👨‍💻✨

Wrapping it up 🎉

Congrats on the journey so far! You've seen Keploy's power, flexed your coding muscles, and had a bit of fun too! Now, go out there and keep exploring, innovating, and creating! Remember, with the right tools and a sprinkle of fun, anything's possible.😊🚀

Happy coding! ✨👩‍💻👨‍💻✨

**********************************___**********************************

Running App Locally on Linux/WSL 🐧

We'll be running our sample application right on Linux, but just to make things a tad more thrilling, we'll have the database (PostgreSQL) chill on Docker. Ready? Let's get the party started!🎉

📼 Roll the Tape - Recording Time!

Ready, set, record! Here's how:

keploy record -c "uvicorn application.main:app --reload"

Keep an eye out for the -c flag! It's the command charm to run the app.

Alright, magician! With the app alive and kicking, let's weave some test cases. The spell? Making some API calls! Postman, Hoppscotch, or the classic curl - pick your wand.

Generate testcases

To generate testcases we just need to make some API calls.

1. Make a POST request

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"name": "Eva White",
"email": "evawhite@example.com",
"password": "evawhite111"
}'

2. Make a GET request

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/'

3. Make a PUT request

curl --location --request PUT 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/1' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw ' {
"name": "John Dow",
"email": "doe.john@example.com",
"password": "johndoe123",
"stream": "Arts"
}'

4. Make a GET request

curl --location 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/1'

5. Make a DELETE request

curl --location --request DELETE 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/students/1'
