CommonApiTestLib 1.0.2

Summary

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully consume the abstract class from the NuGet package in your project. Remember to handle any dependencies or configuration requirements specified by the package documentation.

Steps to use NuGet package CommonApiTestLib

1. Create NUnit Test project <br />
2. Search and download the lastest NuGet package CommonApiTestLib<br />
3. Add dependencies files test.runsettings and envrionment config file appsetting.{env}.json example see below<br />
4. Create endpoint by inheriting from the EndpointCommon abstract class. <br />
   • HTTP Method and Resource: It defines a constant HTTP method (Method.Post) and a resource path ("/auth") specific to the authentication endpoint.<br />
   • Constructor: The constructor initializes the AuthEndpoint instance by calling the protected constructor of the base EndpointCommon class with the specified HTTP method and resource path. This constructor ensures that the AuthEndpoint adheres to the structure defined by the abstract class.

  public class AuthEndpoint : EndpointCommon
    {
        private const Method method = Method.Post;

        private const string Resource = "/auth";
        protected override string? Schema { get; set; } = "auth.json";
        public AuthEndpoint() : base(method, Resource)
        {
        }

        public void SetRequest(object jsonBody)
        {
            AddJsonBody(jsonBody);
        }

5. Create Tests after defining endpoint, you can use instances in your Test Class and also consume core function from NuGet Package

[Test]
        public async Task AuthTests()
        {
            // Step 1: Define API Endpoint and Request Body
            var endpoint = new AuthEndpoint();
            var jsonBody = new
            {
                username = "admin",
                password = "password123"
            };

            // Step 2: Send Request
            endpoint.SetRequest(jsonBody);
            var responseBody = await endpoint.ExecuteAsync<Auth>();

            // Step 3 : Assertion
            Assert.That(endpoint.AssertSuccessResponse(responseBody),"Response Code is not success ");
            Assert.That(endpoint.ValidateResponseWithJsonSchema(responseBody), "Response body schema check has failed");
            Assert.That(responseBody.Data.token,Is.Not.Empty);
        }

Create a NuGet Package

Create and publish a NuGet package by using Visual Studio

• step1: update .csproj metadata

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
 <PropertyGroup>
   <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
   <PackageId>MyNuGetPackage</PackageId>
   <Version>1.0.0</Version>
   <Authors>Your Name</Authors>
   <Company>Your Company</Company>
 </PropertyGroup>
</Project> 

• step2: Select Build > Configuration Manager, and then set the Active solution configuration to Release.

• step3: Visual Studio builds the project and creates the .nupkg file under Release folder

Generate NuGet package on build

Expand the Package node, select General, and then select Generate NuGet package on build.

dependencies or configuration requirements example

// test.runsettings

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RunSettings>
  <TestRunParameters>
      <Parameter name="someParameterName" value="someExampleValue" />
  </TestRunParameters>
	<RunConfiguration>
		<EnvironmentVariables>
			
			<EnvironmentName>qa</EnvironmentName>
		</EnvironmentVariables>
	</RunConfiguration>
</RunSettings>

//appsettings.qa.json
{
  "Api": {
    "BaseUrl": "https://restful-booker.herokuapp.com",
    "Username":"abc",
    "Password": "password"
  },
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Server=YOURSERVERNAME; Database=YOURDATABASENAME; Trusted_Connection=True; MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
  }
}

[!NOTE] Tell difference between two test methods async Task and void

• tests are involving asynchronous operations (todo) eg: api response using async method
• tradtionaly can use void for simplicity
