Introduction
🪄 Dive into the world of Student CRUD Apps and see how seamlessly Keploy integrated with Flask and MongoDB. 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 System | Without Docker | Docker Installation | Prerequisites |
---|---|---|---|
MacOS | - Docker Desktop version must be 4.25.2 or above - For running Keploy on MacOS natively, refer to Guide | ||
Windows | - Use WSL wsl --install - Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11 | ||
Linux | Linux kernel 5.15 or higher |
On MacOS and Windows, additional tools are required for Keploy due to the lack of native eBPF support.
Keploy Installation
Quick Installation Using CLI
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

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
-
Open up a terminal window.
-
Create a bridge network in Docker using the following docker network create command:
docker network create keploy-network
- 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
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
- Open the terminal Session.
- 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
- Open the terminal Session
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
Get Started! 🎬
Clone a simple Student Management API 🧪
git clone https://github.com/keploy/samples-python.git && cd samples-python/flask-mongo
Installation Keploy
Depending on your OS, choose your adventure:
There are 2 ways you can run this sample application.
- Using Docker compose : running application as well as Mongo on Docker container
- Using Docker container for Mongo and running application locally
Using Docker Compose 🐳
We will be using Docker compose to run the application as well as Mongo on Docker container.
Lights, Camera, Record! 🎥
Capture the test-cases-
keploy record -c "docker compose up" --container-name "flask-app" --buildDelay 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.
- Make a POST request:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title":"Task 1","description":"Important task"}' http://localhost:5000/api/tasks
- Make a GET request:
curl http://localhost:5000/api/tasks
- Make a PUT request:
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title":"Task 1","description":"Random task"}' http://localhost:5000/api/tasks/12345
- Make a DELETE request:
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:5000/api/tasks/12345
And once you are done, you can stop the recording and 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 tests
directory 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 "flask-app" --buildDelay 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 (MongoDB) chill on Docker. Ready? Let's get the party started!🎉
Install all dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
Start the MongoDB server
sudo service mongod start
Lights, Camera, Record! 🎥
To initiate the recording of API calls, execute this command in your terminal:
keploy record -c "python3 app.py"
Now, your app will start running, and you have to make some API calls to generate the test cases!!
- Make a POST request:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title":"Task 1","description":"Important task"}' http://localhost:5000/api/tasks
- Make a GET request:
curl http://localhost:5000/api/tasks
- Make a PUT request:
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title":"Task 1","description":"Random task"}' http://localhost:5000/api/tasks/12345
- Make a DELETE request:
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:5000/api/tasks/12345
And once you are done, you can stop the recording and 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 tests

Run the tests
Now, it's time to put things to the test 🧪
keploy test -c "python3 app.py" --delay 10
Now, you can also 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!
Check Test Coverage
We have a test-app.py
where all the unit test cases has been written. Now using Keploy, we can check it's code coverage!!
Now to run your unit tests with Keploy, you can run the command given below:
python3 -m coverage run -p --data-file=.coverage.unit -m pytest -s test_keploy.py test_app.py
To combine the coverage from the unit tests, and Keploy's API tests we can use the command below:
python3 -m coverage combine
Finally, to generate the coverage report for the test run, you can run:
python3 -m coverage report
and if you want the coverage in an html file, you can run:
python3 -m coverage html
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.😊🚀
