The framework was designed to run inside a Docker container to strip out the complexity of setting virtual environments, facilitate its distribution and avoid the infamous but it works on my machine conversation.

• Git
• Docker
• Python 3.8 and up

• Clone the repository

• change to the project folder

• Open a terminal

• install python library virtualenv pip install virtulenv

• create virualenv venv python -m venv venv

• load virtual venv source /venv/Scripts/activate

• install requirements.txt pip install -r requirements.txt

sh suites/all_tests.sh

pytest --html=reports/restapi_test_report.html --self-contained-html -v -s --users 7 tests/

In develop mode you can run the tests manually and execute the test with more parameters

1. Start development environment

make dev

This command will remove any existing restapi_test containers, build a new test/restapi_testfwk image, start a container, mount local code under /opt/restapi_test and provide a /bin/bash terminal.

2. Create the command line with your desired specifications for the tests.

• Example

pytest --html=reports/restapi_test_report.html --self-contained-html  --users 10  --log-cli-level=debug  tests/

You will find an HTML report stored in the path: /opt/restapi_test/reports/restapi_test_report.html In the same path you will find the log file: /opt/restapi_test/reports/restapi_test.log
