Scenarigo
A scenario-based API testing tool for HTTP/gRPC server.
Overview
Scenarigo is a scenario-based API testing tool for HTTP/gRPC server.
It is written in Go and provides a plugin feature that enables you to extend by writing Go code.
You can write test scenarios as YAML files and executes them.

Installation
go install command (recommend)
$ go install github.com/zoncoen/scenarigo/cmd/scenarigo@v0.12.6
from release page
Go to the releases page and download the zip file. Unpack the zip file, and put the binary to a directory in your $PATH
.
You can download the latest command into the ./scenarigo
directory with the following one-liner code. Place the binary ./scenarigo/scenarigo
into your $PATH
.
$ version=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/zoncoen/scenarigo/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name') && \
go_version='go1.19.1' && \
curl -sLJ https://github.com/zoncoen/scenarigo/releases/download/${version}/scenarigo_${version}_${go_version}_$(uname)_$(uname -m).tar.gz -o scenarigo.tar.gz && \
mkdir ./scenarigo && tar -zxvf ./scenarigo.tar.gz -C ./scenarigo && rm scenarigo.tar.gz
Notes: If you use the plugin mechanism, the scenarigo
command and plugins must be built using the same version of Go.
Setup
You can generate a configuration file scenarigo.yaml
via the following command.
$ scenarigo config init
schemaVersion: config/v1
scenarios: [] # Specify test scenario files and directories.
pluginDirectory: ./gen # Specify the root directory of plugins.
plugins: # Specify configurations to build plugins.
plugin.so: # Map keys specify plugin output file path from the root directory of plugins.
src: ./path/to/plugin # Specify the source file, directory, or "go gettable" module path of the plugin.
output:
verbose: false # Enable verbose output.
colored: false # Enable colored output with ANSI color escape codes. It is enabled by default but disabled when a NO_COLOR environment variable is set (regardless of its value).

How to write test scenarios
You can write test scenarios easily in YAML.
Send HTTP requests
A test scenario consists of some steps. A step represents an API request. The scenario steps will be run from top to bottom sequentially.
This simple example has a step that sends a GET
request to http://example.com/message
.
title: check /message
steps:
- title: GET /message
protocol: http
request:
method: GET
url: http://example.com/message
To send a query parameter, add it directly to the URL or use the query
field.
title: check /message
steps:
- title: GET /message
protocol: http
request:
method: GET
url: http://example.com/message
query:
id: 1
You can use other methods to send data to your APIs.
title: check /message
steps:
- title: POST /message
protocol: http
request:
method: POST
url: http://example.com/message
body:
message: hello
By default, Scenarigo will send body data as JSON. If you want to use other formats, set the Content-Type
header.
title: check /message
steps:
- title: POST /message
protocol: http
request:
method: POST
url: http://example.com/message
header:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
body:
message: hello
Available Content-Type
header to encode request body is the following.
application/json
(default)
text/plain
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Check HTTP responses
You can test your APIs by checking responses. If the result differs expected values, Scenarigo aborts the execution of the test scenario and notify the error.
title: check /message
steps:
- title: GET /message
protocol: http
request:
method: GET
url: http://example.com/message
query:
id: 1
expect:
code: OK
header:
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
body:
id: 1
message: hello
Template string
Scenarigo provides the original template string feature. It enables to store and reuse values in test scenarios.
The vars
field defines variables that can be referred by template string like '{{vars.id}}'
.
title: check /message
vars:
id: 1
steps:
- title: GET /message
protocol: http
request:
method: GET
url: http://example.com/message
query:
id: '{{vars.id}}'
You can define "step" scope variables that can't be accessed from other steps.
title: check /message
steps:
- title: GET /message
vars:
- 1
protocol: http
request:
method: GET
url: http://example.com/message
query:
id: '{{vars[0]}}'
Plugin
Scenarigo has a plugin mechanism that enables you to add new functionalities you need by writing Go code.
This feature is based on Go's standard library plugin
, which has the following limitations.
- Supported on Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS only.
- All plugins (and installed
scenarigo
command) must be built with the same version of the Go compiler and dependent packages.
Scenarigo loads built plugins at runtime and accesses any exported variable or function via template string.
See the official document for details of the plugin
package.
How to write plugins
A Go plugin is a main
package with exported variables and functions.
package main
import "time"
var Layout = "2006-01-02"
func Today() string {
return time.Now().Format(Layout)
}
You can use the variables and functions via template strings like below in your test scenarios.
{{plugins.date.Layout}}
=> "2006-01-02"
{{plugins.date.Today()}}
=> "2022-02-22"
Scenarigo allows functions to return a value or a value and an error. The template string execution will fail if the function returns a non-nil error.
package main
import "time"
var Layout = "2006-01-02"
func TodayIn(s string) (string, error) {
loc, err := time.LoadLocation(s)
if err != nil {
return "", err
}
return time.Now().In(loc).Format(Layout), nil
}
{{plugins.date.TodayIn("UTC")}}
=> "2022-02-22"
{{plugins.date.TodayIn("INVALID")}}
=> failed to execute: {{plugins.date.TodayIn("INVALID")}}: unknown time zone INVALID
How to build plugins
Go plugin can be built with go build -buildmode=plugin
, but we recommend you use scenarigo plugin build
instead. The wrapper command requires go
command installed in your machine.
Scenarigo builds plugins according to the configuration.
schemaVersion: config/v1
scenarios:
- scenarios
pluginDirectory: ./gen # Specify the root directory of plugins.
plugins: # Specify configurations to build plugins.
date.so: # Map keys specify plugin output file path from the root directory of plugins.
src: ./plugins/date # Specify the source file, directory, or "go gettable" module path of the plugin.
.
├── plugins
│ └── date
│ └── main.go
├── scenarigo.yaml
└── scenarios
└── echo.yaml
In this case, the plugin will be built and written to date.so
.
$ scenarigo plugin build
.
├── gen
│ └── date.so # built plugin
├── plugins
│ └── date
│ ├── go.mod # generated automatically if not exists
│ └── main.go
├── scenarigo.yaml
└── scenarios
└── echo.yaml
Scenarigo checks the dependent packages of each plugin before building. If the plugins depend on a different version of the same package, Scenarigo overrides go.mod
files by the maximum version to avoid the build error.
Now you can use the plugin in test scenarios.
title: echo
plugins:
date: date.so # relative path from "pluginDirectory"
steps:
- title: POST /echo
protocol: http
request:
method: POST
url: 'http://{{env.ECHO_ADDR}}/echo'
body:
message: '{{plugins.date.Today()}}'
expect:
code: 200
Scenarigo can download source codes from remote repositories and build it with go get
-able module query.
plugins:
uuid.so:
src: github.com/zoncoen-sample/scenarigo-plugins/uuid@latest
Advanced features
Setup Funciton
plugin.RegisterSetup
registers a setup function that will be called before running scenario tests once only. If the registered function returns a non-nil function as a second returned value, it will be executed after finished all tests.
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/zoncoen/scenarigo/plugin"
secretmanager "cloud.google.com/go/secretmanager/apiv1"
secretmanagerpb "google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/cloud/secretmanager/v1"
)
const (
projectName = "foo"
)
func init() {
plugin.RegisterSetup(setupClient)
}
var client *secretmanager.Client
func setupClient(ctx *plugin.Context) (*plugin.Context, func(*plugin.Context)) {
var err error
client, err = secretmanager.NewClient(context.Background())
if err != nil {
ctx.Reporter().Fatalf("failed to create secretmanager client: %v", err)
}
return ctx, func(ctx *plugin.Context) {
client.Close()
}
}
func GetSecretString(name string) (string, error) {
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 3*time.Second)
defer cancel()
resp, err := client.AccessSecretVersion(ctx, &secretmanagerpb.AccessSecretVersionRequest{
Name: fmt.Sprintf("projects/%s/secrets/%s/versions/latest", projectName, name),
})
if err != nil {
return "", fmt.Errorf("failed to get secret: %v", err)
}
return string(resp.Payload.Data), nil
}
plugins:
setup.so:
src: ./plugins/date # call "setupClient" before running test scenarios
Similarly, plugin.RegisterSetupEachScenario
can register a setup function. The registered function will be called before each test scenario that uses the plugin.
package main
import (
"github.com/zoncoen/scenarigo/plugin"
"github.com/google/uuid"
)
func init() {
plugin.RegisterSetupEachScenario(setRunID)
}
func setRunID(ctx *plugin.Context) (*plugin.Context, func(*plugin.Context)) {
return ctx.WithVars(map[string]string{
"runId": uuid.NewString(),
}), nil
}
title: echo
plugins:
setup: setup.so # call "setRunID" before running this test scenario
steps:
- title: POST /echo
protocol: http
request:
method: POST
url: 'http://{{env.ECHO_ADDR}}/echo'
header:
Run-Id: '{{vars.runId}}'
body:
message: hello
expect:
code: 200
Custom Step Function
Generally, a step
represents sending a request in Scenarigo. However, you can use a Go's function as a step with the plugin.
package main
import (
"github.com/zoncoen/scenarigo/plugin"
"github.com/zoncoen/scenarigo/schema"
)
var Nop = plugin.StepFunc(func(ctx *plugin.Context, step *schema.Step) *plugin.Context {
ctx.Reporter().Log("nop step")
return ctx
})
title: nop
plugins:
step: step.so
steps:
- title: nop step
ref: '{{plugins.step.Nop}}'
Left Arrow Function (a function takes arguments in YAML)
Scenarigo enables you to define a function that takes arguments in YAML for readability. It is called the "Left Arrow Function" since its syntax {{funcName <-}}
.
package main
import (
"errors"
"fmt"
"github.com/zoncoen/scenarigo/plugin"
)
var CoolFunc plugin.LeftArrowFunc = &fn{}
type fn struct{}
type arg struct {
Foo string `yaml:"foo"`
Bar string `yaml:"bar"`
Baz string `yaml:"baz"`
}
func (_ *fn) UnmarshalArg(unmarshal func(interface{}) error) (interface{}, error) {
var a arg
if err := unmarshal(&a); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return &a, nil
}
func (_ *fn) Exec(in interface{}) (interface{}, error) {
a, ok := in.(*arg)
if !ok {
return nil, errors.New("arg must be a arg")
}
return fmt.Sprintf("foo: %s, bar: %s, baz: %s", a.Foo, a.Bar, a.Baz), nil
}
title: echo
plugins:
cool: cool.so
steps:
- title: POST /echo
protocol: http
request:
method: POST
url: 'http://{{env.ECHO_ADDR}}/echo'
body:
message:
'{{plugins.cool.CoolFunc <-}}':
foo: 1
bar: 2
baz: 3
expect:
code: 200
