defmodule Cuerdo do @moduledoc """ Cuerdo is an [Arazzo](https://spec.openapis.org/arazzo/v1.1.0) workflow runner and automatic property-based testing tool written in Elixir. Arazzo is a community-driven specification within the OpenAPI Initiative, a project part of the Linux Foundation Collaborative. OpenAPI describes REST APIs, and Arazzo specifies how to combine multiple individual OpenAPI endpoints as a "workflow". Workflows consist of one or more steps, where each step consists of either an HTTP request referencing an OpenAPI endpoint, or another workflow. For more information, refer to the [Arazzo official site](https://www.openapis.org/arazzo-specification). Arazzo allows you to define workflows and acceptance criteria in a language-agnostic way. This means you can test backend services written in different languages using Arazzo specification. ## Usage Consider the following simple workflow. A single GET request with query parameters that queries "people" entities, and validates that the returned object matches the input filters ```yaml # specs/arazzo.yaml - workflowId: getPeople summary: Retrieves people from the archive outputs: firstMatchingName: $steps.getPeopleStep.outputs.firstMatchingName inputs: type: object additionalProperties: false required: ["min_age", "name"] properties: min_age: type: integer minimum: 0 name: type: string minLength: 1 steps: - stepId: getPeopleStep description: Lists people operationId: getPeople parameters: - name: min_age in: query value: $inputs.min_age - name: name in: query value: $inputs.name successCriteria: - condition: $statusCode == 200 - type: regex context: $response.body#/0/name condition: "^$inputs.name" - type: jsonpath context: $response.body condition: $[?@.age >= $inputs.min_age] outputs: firstMatchingName: $response.body#/0/name ``` ### Directly in code You can run the workflow directly with specific inputs via `Cuerdo.Arazzo.run_workflow/3`, for example ```elixir inputs = %{"min_age" => 20, "name" => "John"} arazzo_document = YamlElixir.read_from_file!("path/to/arazzo.yaml") {:ok, context} = Cuerdo.Arazzo.run_workflow(inputs, "getPeople", arazzo_document) ``` If the workflow executed successfully, a `t:Cuerdo.Arazzo.Context.t/0` is returned, which contains the workflow outputs, steps outputs and steps request+response strcucts. You can access them using the `Cuerdo.Arazzo.Context` module ```elixir iex> Cuerdo.Arazzo.Context.workflow_outputs(context, "getPeople") %{"firstMatchingName" => "Johnathan"} iex> Cuerdo.Arazzo.Context.step_outputs(context, "getPeople", "getPeopleStep") %{"firstMatchingName" => "Johnathan"} ``` ### ArazzoCase You can execute the workflow(s) as part of a test suite, using `Cuerdo.ArazzoCase`. Consider the same Arazzo workflow from [above](#module-usage), you can define a test module as follows ```elixir # test/myapp/get_people_test.exs defmodule MyApp.GetPeopleTest do use Cuerdo.ArazzoCase arazzo_document_test document: YamlElixir.read_from_file!("path/to/arazzo.yaml") end ``` The `Cuerdo.ArazzoCase.arazzo_document_test/1` macro generates a test for each workflow with random inputs generated by `RockSolid.from_schema/2`. To exclude specific workflows, apply transformation functions, and other options refer to [arazzo_document_test](`Cuerdo.ArazzoCase.arazzo_document_test/1`) ## Validations On top of the validations defined by `successCriteria` field, the following non-Arazzo validations are performed at every step: - The request Content-Type header matches any of the Content-Type defined in the OpenAPI operation - The request body matches the schema defined in the OpenAPI operation. - All required parameters defined in the OpenAPI operation are present in the step definition - The response body matches any of the schemas defined in the OpenAPI operation based on the Content-Type response header and response status code ## Unsupported features and limitations ### AsyncAPI All steps and workflows are assumed to execute synchronously and in the order they are defined. AsyncAPI features and fields are unsupported as there is no current way of validating that a message was pusblished to an out-of-band broker or queue ### Workflow - `dependsOn`: The field is ignored. If a workflow depends on another workflow then it should define a step that references the dependency. - `successActions` and `failureActions` are ignored. ### Step - `channelPath`, `correlationId`, `action`: Used exclusively by AsyncAPI. - `onSuccess` and `onFailure`: Same as `successActions` and `failureActions` from [Workflow](#module-workflow) - `in: "cookie"` - `dependsOn`: Same as [Workflow](#module-workflow) ### Condition and Expression - `xpath` and any XML functionality is unsupported - `type` allows only strings. This means that JSONPath supports RFC-9535 version only, and JSONPointer RFC-6901 respectively. Non-standad and legacy JSONPath and JSONPointer versions are unsupported. """ end
