Gonkex: testing automation tool
Gonkex will test your services using their API. It can bomb the service with prepared requests and check the responses. Test scenarios are described in YAML-files.
Capabilities:
- works with REST/JSON API
- seeds the DB with fixtures data (supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sqlite, TimescaleDB, MariaDB, SQLServer, ClickHouse)
- provides mocks for external services
- can be used as a library and ran together with unit-tests
- stores the results as an Allure report
- there is a JSON-schema to add autocomletion and validation for gonkex YAML files

Using gonkex as a library
To integrate functional and native Go tests and run them together, use gonkex as a library.
Create a test file, for example func_test.go
.
Import gonkex as a dependency to your project in this file.
import (
"github.com/lansfy/gonkex/mocks"
"github.com/lansfy/gonkex/runner"
)
Create a test function:
package test
import (
"testing"
"github.com/lansfy/gonkex/mocks"
"github.com/lansfy/gonkex/storage"
"github.com/lansfy/gonkex/storage/addons/sqldb"
"github.com/lansfy/gonkex/runner"
)
func TestFuncCases(t *testing.T) {
// init the mocks if needed (details below)
// m := mocks.NewNop(...)
// init the DB to load the fixtures if needed (details below)
//
// db := ...
// storage := sqldb.NewStorage(sqldb.PostgreSQL, db, nil)
//
// next sql storages supported:
// sqldb.PostgreSQL, sqldb.MySQL, sqldb.Sqlite, sqldb.ClickHouse,
// sqldb.TimescaleDB, sqldb.MariaDB, sqldb.SQLServer
// create a server instance of your app
srv := server.NewServer()
defer srv.Close()
// run test cases from current folder
runner.RunWithTesting(t, &runner.RunWithTestingParams{
Server: srv,
TestsDir: "cases", // test case folder
FixturesDir: "fixtures", // fixtures folder
Mocks: m,
DB: storage,
})
}
Externally written storage may be used for loading test data, if gonkex used as a library. To start using the custom loader, you need to import the custom module, that contains implementation of storage.StorageInterface interface.
The tests can be now ran with go test
, for example: go test ./...
.
Test scenario example
- name: WHEN the list of orders is requested MUST successfully response
method: GET
status: ""
path: /jsonrpc/v2/order.getBriefList
query: ?id=550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000&jsonrpc=2.0&user_id=00001
fixtures:
- order_0001
- order_0002
response:
200: |
{
"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": {
"data": [
"ORDER0001",
"ORDER0002"
],
"meta": {
"items": 0,
"limit": 50,
"page": 0,
"pages": 0
}
}
}
- name: WHEN one order is requested MUST response with user and sum
method: POST
path: /jsonrpc/v2/order.getOrder
headers:
Authorization: Bearer HsHG67d38hJKJFdfjj==
Content-Type: application/json

"method": "order.getOrder",
"params": [
{
"order_nr": {{ .orderNr }}
}
]
}
response:
200: |
{
"id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": {
"user_id": {{ .userId }},
"amount": {{ .amount }},
"token": "$matchRegexp(^\\w{16}$)"
}
}
responseHeaders:
200:
Content-Type: "application/json"
Cache-Control: "no-store, must-revalidate"
Set-Cookie: "mycookie=123; Path=/; Domain=mydomain.com", "mycookie=456; Path=/; Domain=.mydomain.com"
cases:
- requestArgs:
orderNr: ORDER0001
responseArgs:
200:
userId: '0001'
amount: 1000
- requestArgs:
orderNr: ORDER0002
responseArgs:
200:
userId: '0001'
amount: 72000
As you can see in this example, you can use Regexp for checking response body. It can be used for all body (if it's plaint text):
response:
200: "$matchRegexp(^xy+z$)"
or for elements of map/array (if it's JSON):
response:
200: |
{
"id": "$matchRegexp([\\w-]+)",
"jsonrpc": "$matchRegexp([12].0)",
"result": [
"data": [
"$matchRegexp(ORDER[0]{3}[0-9])",
"$matchRegexp(ORDER[0]{3}[0-9])"
],
]
}
Also, "?" in query is optional
Test status
status
- a parameter, for specially mark tests, can have following values:
broken
- do not run test, only mark it as brokenskipped
- do not run test, skip itfocus
- run only this specific test, and mark all other tests with unset status asskipped
HTTP-request
method
- a parameter for HTTP request type, the format is in the example above.
path
- a parameter for URL path, the format is in the example above.
headers
- a parameter for HTTP headers, the format is in the example above.
cookies
- a parameter for cookies, the format is in the example above.
HTTP-response
response
- the HTTP response body for the specified HTTP status codes.
responseHeaders
- all HTTP response headers for the specified HTTP status codes.
Variables
You can use variables in the description of the test, the following fields are supported:
- method
- description
- path
- query
- headers
- request
- response
- dbQuery
- dbResponse
- mocks body
- mocks headers
- mocks requestConstraints
Example:
- method: "{{ $method }}"
description: "{{ $description }}"
path: "/some/path/{{ $pathPart }}"
query: "{{ $query }}"
headers:
header1: "{{ $header }}"
request: '{"reqParam": "{{ $reqParam }}"}'
response:
200: "{{ $resp }}"
mocks:
server_mock:
strategy: constant
body: >
{
"message": "{{ $mockParam }}"
}
statusCode: 200
dbQuery: >
SELECT id, name FROM testing_tools WHERE id={{ $sqlQueryParam }}
dbResponse:
- '{"id": {{ $sqlResultParam }}, "name": "gonkex"}'
You can assign values to variables in the following ways (priorities are from top to bottom):
- in the description of the test
- from the response of the previous test
- from the response of currently running test
- from environment variables or from env-file
Assignment
In the description of the test
Example:
- method: "{{ $method }}"
path: "/some/path/{{ $pathPart }}"
variables:
reqParam: "reqParam_value"
method: "POST"
pathPart: "part_of_path"
query: "query_val"
header: "header_val"
resp: "resp_val"
query: "{{ $query }}"
headers:
header1: "{{ $header }}"
request: '{"reqParam": "{{ $reqParam }}"}'
response:
200: "{{ $resp }}"
From the response of the previous test
Example:
# if the response is plain text
- name: "get_last_post_id"
...
variables_to_set:
200: "id"
# if the response is JSON
- name: "get_last_post_info"
variables_to_set:
200:
id: "id"
title: "title"
authorId: "author_info.id"
You can access nested fields like this:
"author_info.id"
Any nesting levels are supported.
From the response of currently running test
Example:
- name: Get info with database
method: GET
path: "/info/1"
variables_to_set:
200:
golang_id: query_result.0.0
response:
200: '{"result_id": "1", "query_result": [[ {{ $golang_id }} , "golang"], [2, "gonkex"]]}'
dbQuery: >
SELECT id, name FROM testing_tools WHERE id={{ $golang_id }}
dbResponse:
- '{"id": {{ $golang_id}}, "name": "golang"}'
From environment variables or from env-file
Gonkex automatically checks if variable exists in the environment variables (case-sensitive) and loads a value from there, if it exists.
If an env-file is specified, variables described in it will be added or will replace the corresponding environment variables.
Example of an env file (standard syntax):
jwt=some_jwt_value
secret=my_secret
password=private_password
env-file can be convenient to hide sensitive information from a test (passwords, keys, etc.)
From cases
You can describe variables in cases section of a test.
Example:
- name: Get user info
method: GET
path: "/user/1"
response:
200: '{ "user_id": "1", "name": "{{ $name }}", "surname": "{{ $surname }}" }'
cases:
- variables:
name: John
surname: Doe
Variables like these will be available through another cases if not redefined.
Files uploading
You can upload files in test request. For this you must specify the type of request - POST and header:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
Example:
- name: "upload-files"
method: POST
form:
files:
file1: "testdata/upload-files/file1.txt"
file2: "testdata/upload-files/file2.log"
headers:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data # case-sensitive, can be omitted
response:
200: |
{
"status": "OK"
}
Fixtures
To seed the DB before the test, gonkex uses fixture files.
- You can use schema in PostreSQL: schema.table_name
File example:
# fixtures/comments.yml
inherits:
- another_fixture
- yet_another_fixture
tables:
posts:
- $name: janes_post
title: New post
text: Post text

another_table:
...
...
Records in fixtures can use templates, inherit and reference each other.
Deleting data from tables
To clear the table before the test put square brackets next to the table name.
Example:
# fixtures/empty_posts_table.yml
tables:
posts: []
Record templates
Usually, to insert a record to a DB, it's necessary to list all the fields without default values. Oftentimes, many of those fields are not important for the test, and their values repeat from one fixture to another, creating unnecessary visual garbage and making the maintenance harder.
With templates you can inherit the fields from template record redefining only the fields that are important for the test.
Template definition example:
templates:
dummy_client:
name: Dummy Client Name
age: 35
ip: 127.0.0.1
is_deleted: false
dummy_deleted_client:
$extend: dummy_client
is_deleted: true
tables:
...
Example of using a template in a fixture:
templates:
...
tables:
clients:
- $extend: dummy_client
- $extend: dummy_client
name: Josh
- $extend: dummy_deleted_client
name: Jane
As you might have noticed, templates can be inherited as well with $extend
keyword, but only if by the time of the dependent template definition the parent template is already defined (in this file or any other referenced with inherits
).
Record inheritance
Records can be inherited as well using $extend
.
To inherit a record, first you need to assign this record a name using $name
:
# fixtures/post.yaml
tables:
posts:
- $name: regular_post
title: Post title
text: Some text
Names assigned to records must be unique among all loaded fixture files, as well as they must not interfere with template names.
In another fixture file you need to declare that a certain record inherits an earlier defined record with $extend
, just like with the templates:
# fixtures/deleted_post.yaml
inherits:
- post
tables:
posts:
- $extend: regular_post
is_deleted: true
Don't forget to declare the dependency between files in inherits
, to make sure that one file is always loaded together with the other one.
It's important to note that record inheritance only works with different fixture files. It's not possible to declare inheritance within one file.
Expressions
When you need to write an expression execution result to the DB and not a static value, you can use $eval()
construct. Everything inside the brackets will be inserted into the DB as raw, non-escaped data. This way, within $eval()
you can write everything you would in a regular query.
For instance, this construct allows the insertion of current date and time as a field value:
tables:
comments:
- created_at: $eval(NOW())
Mocks
In order to imitate responses from external services, use mocks.
A mock is a web server that is running on-the-fly, and is populated with certain logic before the execution of each test. The logic defines what the server responses to a certain request. It's defined in the test file.
Running mocks while using gonkex as a library
Before running tests, all planned mocks are started. It means that gonkex spins up the given number of servers and each one of them gets a random port assigned.
// create empty server mocks
m := mocks.NewNop(
"cart",
"catalog",
"loyalty",
"discounts",
)
// spin up mocks
err := m.Start()
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
defer m.Shutdown()
After spinning up the mock web-servers, we can get their addresses (host and port). Using those addresses, you can configure your service to send their requests to mocked servers instead of real ones.
// configuring and running the service
srv := server.NewServer(&server.Config{
CartAddr: m.Service("cart").ServerAddr(),
CatalogAddr: m.Service("catalog").ServerAddr(),
LoyaltyAddr: m.Service("loyalty").ServerAddr(),
DiscountsAddr: m.Service("discounts").ServerAddr(),
})
defer srv.Close()
As soon as you spinned up your mocks and configured your service, you can run the tests.
runner.RunWithTesting(t, &runner.RunWithTestingParams{
Server: srv,
TestsDir: "tests/cases",
Mocks: m, // pass the mocks to the test runner
})
Additionally, the library registers special environment variables GONKEX_MOCK_<MOCK_NAME>
, which contain the address and port of the corresponding mock server. You can use these environment variables when writing tests.
Mocks definition in the test file
Each test communicates a configuration to the mock-server before running. This configuration defines the responses for specific requests in the mock-server. The configuration is defined in a YAML-file with test in the mocks
section.
The test file can contain any number of mock service definitions:
- name: Test with mocks
...
mocks:
service1:
...
service2:
...
service3:
...
request:
...
Each mock-service definition consists of:
requestConstraints
- an array of constraints that are applied on a received request. If at least one constraint is not satisfied, the test is considered failed. The list of all possible checks is provided below.
strategy
- the strategy of mock responses. The list of all possible strategies is provided below.
The rest of the keys on the first nesting level are parameters to the strategy. Their variety is different for each strategy.
A configuration example for one mock-service:
...
mocks:
service1:
requestConstraints:
- ...
- ...
strategy: strategyName
strategyParam1: ...
strategyParam2: ...
...
Request constraints (requestConstraints)
The request to the mock-service can be validated using one or more constraints defined below.
The definition of each constraint contains of the kind
parameter that indicates which constraint will be applied.
All other keys on this level are constraint parameters. Each constraint has its own parameter set.
Empty constraint. Always successful.
No parameters.
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
requestConstraints:
- kind: nop
...
Checks that the request body is JSON, and it corresponds to the JSON defined in the body
parameter.
Parameters:
body
(mandatory) - expected JSON. All keys on all levels defined in this parameter must be present in the request body.
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
requestConstraints:
# this check will demand that the request contains keys key1, key2 and subKey1
# and their values set to value1 and value2. However, it's fine if the request has
# other keys not mentioned here.
- kind: bodyMatchesJSON
body: >
{
"key1": "value1",
"key2": {
"subKey1": "value2",
}
}
...
When request body is JSON, checks that value of particular JSON-field is string-packed JSON
that matches to JSON defined in value
parameter.
Parameters:
path
(mandatory) - path to string field, containing JSON to check.value
(mandatory) - expected JSON.
Example:
Origin request that contains string-packed JSON
{
"field1": {
"field2": "{\"stringpacked\": \"json\"}"
}
}
...
mocks:
service1:
requestConstraints:
- kind: bodyJSONFieldMatchesJSON
path: field1.field2
value: |
{
"stringpacked": "json"
}
...

service2:
requestConstraints:
- kind: pathMatches
regexp: ^/api/v1/test/.*$
...
Checks that the GET request parameters correspond to the ones defined in the query
parameter.
Parameters:
expectedQuery
(mandatory) - a list of parameters to compare the parameter string to. The order of parameters is not important.
Examples:
...
mocks:
service1:
requestConstraints:
# this check will demand that the request contains key1 и key2
# and the values are key1=value1, key1=value11 и key2=value2.
# Keys not mentioned here are omitted while running the check.
- kind: queryMatches
expectedQuery: key1=value1&key2=value2&key1=value11
...
Expands queryMatches
so it can be used with regexp pattern matching.
Parameters:
expectedQuery
(mandatory) - a list of parameters to compare the parameter string to. The order of parameters is not important.
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
requestConstraints:

...
This strategy gives ability to use incoming request data into mock response.
Implemented with package text/template.
Automatically preload incoming request into variable named request
.
Parameters:

}
statusCode: 200
...
Uses different response strategies, depending on a path of a requested resource.
When receiving a request for a resource that is not defined in the parameters, the test will be considered failed.
Parameters:
uris
(mandatory) - a list of resources, each resource can be configured as a separate mock-service using any available request constraints and response strategies (see example)basePath
- common base route for all resources, empty by default
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
strategy: uriVary
basePath: /v2
uris:
/shelf/books:
strategy: file
filename: responses/books_list.json
statusCode: 200
/shelf/books/1:
strategy: constant
body: >
{
"error": "book not found"
}
statusCode: 404
...
Uses various response strategies, depending on the request method.
When receiving a request with a method not defined in methodVary, the test will be considered failed.
Parameters:
methods
(mandatory) - a list of methods, each method can be configured as a separate mock-service using any available request constraints and response strategies (see example)
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
strategy: methodVary
methods:
GET:
# nothing stops us from using `uriVary` strategy here
# this way we can form different responses to different
# method+resource combinations
strategy: constant
body: >
{
"error": "book not found"
}
statusCode: 404
POST:
strategy: nop
statusCode: 204
...
With this strategy for each consequent request you will get a reply defined by a consequent nested strategy.
If no nested strategy specified for a request, i.e. arrived more requests than nested strategies specified, the test will be considered failed.
Parameters:
sequence
(mandatory) - list of nested strategies.
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
strategy: sequence
sequence:
# Responds with a different text on each consequent request:
# "1" for first call, "2" for second call and so on.
# For 5th and later calls response will be 404 Not Found.
- strategy: constant
body: '1'
- strategy: constant
body: '2'
- strategy: constant
body: '3'
- strategy: constant
body: '4'
...
Allows multiple requests with same request path. Concurrent safe.
When receiving a request for a resource that is not defined in the parameters, the test will be considered failed.
Parameters:
uris
(mandatory) - a list of resources, each resource can be configured as a separate mock-service using any available request constraints and response strategies (see example)
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
strategy: basedOnRequest
uris:
- strategy: constant
body: >
{
"ok": true
}
requestConstraints:
- kind: queryMatches
expectedQuery: "key=value1"
- kind: pathMatches
path: /request
- strategy: constant
body: >
{
"ok": true
}
requestConstraints:
- kind: queryMatches
expectedQuery: "key=value2"
- kind: pathMatches
path: /request
...
The strategy that by default drops the connection on any request. Used to emulate the network problems.
No parameters.
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
strategy: dropRequest
...
Calls count
You can define, how many times each mock or mock resource must be called (using uriVary
). If the actual number of calls is different from expected, the test will be considered failed.
Example:
...
mocks:
service1:
# must be called exactly one time
calls: 1
strategy: file
filename: responses/books_list.json
...
...
mocks:
service1:
strategy: uriVary
uris:
/shelf/books:
# must be called exactly one time
calls: 1
strategy: file
filename: responses/books_list.json
...
Shell scripts usage
When the test is ran, operations are performed in the following order:
- Fixtures load
- Mocks setup
- beforeScript execute
- HTTP-request sent
- afterRequestScript execute
- The checks are ran
Script definition
To define the script you need to provide 2 parameters:
path
(mandatory) - string with a path to the script file.timeout
- time in seconds, is responsible for stopping the script on timeout. The default value is3
.
Example:
...
afterRequestScript:
path: './cli_scripts/cmd_recalculate.sh'
# the timeout will be equal 10s
timeout: 10
...
...
beforeScript:
path: './cli_scripts/cmd_recalculate.sh'

Running a script with parameterization
When tests use parameterized requests, it's possible to use different scripts for each test run.
Example:
...
beforeScript:
path: |
./cli_scripts/{{.file_name}}
...
cases:
- requestArgs:
customer_id: 1
customer_email: "customer_1_recalculate@example.com"
responseArgs:
200:
rrr: 1
in_transit: 1
beforeScriptArgs:
file_name: "cmd_recalculate_customer_1.sh"
A DB query
After HTTP request execution you can run an SQL query to DB to check the data changes. The response can contain several records. Those records are compared to the expected list of records.
Test Format
You can use legacy style for run sql queries, like this:
- name: my test
...
dbQuery: >
SELECT ...
dbResponse:
- ...
- ...
But, for now, already acceptable style is:
- name: my test
...
dbChecks:
- dbQuery: >
SELECT ...
dbResponse:
- ...
With second variant, you can run any amount of needed queries, after test case runned.
NOTE: All mentioned below techniques are still work with both variants of query format.
Query definition
Query is a SELECT that returns any number of strings.
dbQuery
- a string that contains an SQL query.
Example:
...
dbQuery: >
SELECT code, purchase_date, partner_id FROM mark_paid_schedule AS m WHERE m.code = 'GIFT100000-000002'
...
Definition of DB request response
The response is a list of JSON objects that the DB request should return.
dbResponse
- a string that contains a list of JSON objects.
Example:
...
dbResponse:
- '{"code":"GIFT100000-000002","purchase_date":"2330-02-02T13:15:11.912874","partner_id":1}'
- '{"code":"GIFT100000-000003","purchase_date":"2330-02-02T13:15:11.912874","partner_id":1}'
- '{"code":"$matchRegexp(GIFT([0-9]{6})-([0-9]{6}))","purchase_date":"2330-02-02T13:15:11.912874","partner_id":1}'
As you can see in this example, you can use Regexp for checking db response body.
...
dbResponse:
# empty list
DB request parameterization
As well as with the HTTP request body, we can use parameterized requests.
Example:
...
dbQuery: >
SELECT code, partner_id FROM mark_paid_schedule AS m WHERE DATE(m.purchase_date) BETWEEN '{{ .fromDate }}' AND '{{ .toDate }}'
dbResponse:
- '{"code":"{{ .cert1 }}","partner_id":1}'
- '{"code":"{{ .cert2 }}","partner_id":1}'
...
cases:
...
dbQueryArgs:
fromDate: "2330-02-01"
toDate: "2330-02-05"
dbResponseArgs:
cert1: "GIFT100000-000002"
cert2: "GIFT100000-000003"
When different tests contain different number of records, you can redefine the response for a specific test as a whole, while continuing to use a template with parameters in others.
Example:
...
dbQuery: >
SELECT code, partner_id FROM mark_paid_schedule AS m WHERE DATE(m.purchase_date) BETWEEN '{{ .fromDate }}' AND '{{ .toDate }}'
dbResponse:
- '{"code":"{{ .cert1 }}","partner_id":1}'
...
cases:
...
dbQueryArgs:
fromDate: "2330-02-01"
toDate: "2330-02-05"
dbResponseArgs:
cert1: "GIFT100000-000002"
...
dbQueryArgs:
fromDate: "2330-02-01"
toDate: "2330-02-05"
dbResponseFull:
- '{"code":"GIFT100000-000002","partner_id":1}'
- '{"code":"GIFT100000-000003","partner_id":1}'
Ignoring ordering in DB response
You can use ignoreDbOrdering
flag in comparisonParams
section to toggle DB response ordering ignore feature.
This can be used to bypass using ORDER BY
operators in query.
ignoreDbOrdering
- true/false value.
Example:
comparisonParams:
ignoreDbOrdering: true
...
dbQuery: >
SELECT id, name, surname FROM users LIMIT 2
dbResponse:
- '{ "id": 2, "name": "John", "surname": "Doe" }'
- '{ "id": 1, "name": "Jane", "surname": "Doe" }'
JSON-schema
Use file with schema to add syntax highlight to your favourite IDE and write Gonkex tests more easily.
It adds in-line documentation and auto-completion to any IDE that supports it.
Example in Jetbrains IDE:
Example in VSCode IDE:
Setup in Jetbrains IDE
Download file with schema. Open preferences File->Preferences In Languages & Frameworks > Schemas and DTDs > JSON Schema Mappings
Add new schema
Specify schema name, schema file, and select Schema version: Draft 7
After that add mapping. You can choose from single file, directory, or file mask.
Choose what suits you best.
Save your preferences. If you done everything right, you should not see No JSON Schema in bottom right corner
Instead, you should see your schema name
Setup is VSCode IDE
At first, you need to download YAML Language plugin Open Extensions by going to Code(File)->Preferences->Extensions
Look for YAML and install YAML Language Support by Red Hat
Open Settings by going to Code(File)->Preferences->Settings
Open Schema Settings by typing YAML:Schemas and click on Edit in settings.json
Add file match to apply the JSON on YAML files.
"yaml.schemas": {
"C:\\Users\\Leo\\gonkex.json": ["*.gonkex.yaml"]
}
In the example above the JSON schema stored in C:\Users\Leo\gonkex.json will be applied on all the files that ends with .gonkex.yaml
