[Feature] Call external functions within the yaml about maestro HOT 4 CLOSED

We would like to keep control over the binary being executed, so can't promise a generic function execution yet. However, a use case of calling an HTTPS endpoint did come up before so we will consider adding it.

We have been exploring the use of Maestro for our e2e tests, but we would need to ability to make http requests for:

• user auth (we have passwordless auth so the only way to auth in an automated environment is through requests with the auth server)
• setting up database data for different flows

Such a feature would be super useful! :)

Any estimates on when that could be added? Or is it not that high priority in your roadmap yet?

This specific usecase was addressed in Maestro 1.16.0. We have just introduced Javascript support that allows you to send HTTP requests:

@dmitry-zaitsev we're in the same boat as @ksketo. It would be super convenient to be able to make requests to the backend and then verify the change on the frontend. Something like:

  - request:
      url:
      method:
      headers:
      body:
      timeout:

🙏 🙏 Stoked about Maestro btw. Extremely user friendly.
