Using Context In Testing
Use context to exchange data between test cases or use context to pass the dynamic data needed for testing.
First declare a structure to hold the data in the context. For example, in the following example, a structure called Context is declared, and a field called BaseUrl is declared in it to store the base url of the back-end API.
type Context struct {
BaseUrl string
}
Initialize the Context in the Export function, and export it to the test framework with the context key.
func Export() map[string]interface{} {
return map[string]interface{}{
"context": Context{
BaseUrl: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com",
},
"SimpleCase": SimpleCase,
}
}
Using context in a test case simply requires defining a parameter of the Context pointer type on the test case:
func SimpleCase(ctx *Context, client *json.Client) {
_ = client.R().Get(fmt.Sprintf("%s/todos/1", ctx.BaseUrl))
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
}
In the above example the API base url will be taken from the Context instead of being hardcoded in the test case.
Code example
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/l6p/utils/client/json"
"time"
)
type Context struct {
BaseUrl string
}
func SimpleCase(ctx *Context, client *json.Client) {
_ = client.R().Get(fmt.Sprintf("%s/todos/1", ctx.BaseUrl))
time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
}
func Export() map[string]interface{} {
return map[string]interface{}{
"context": Context{
BaseUrl: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com",
},
"SimpleCase": SimpleCase,
}
}
