Automatically tests your rails API against its OpenAPI (Swagger) description of end-points, models, and query parameters.
Currently supports and validates against OpenAPI 2.0, (see https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/2.0.md)
To use Apivore, add the following to your Gemfile:
gem 'apivore'
WARNING: If apivore is listed in the Gemfile above rspec then some issues, specifically NameError: uninitialized constant RSpec::Mocks, may arise when trying to run specs.
Create a new request spec in spec/requests:
require 'spec_helper'
RSpec.describe 'the API', type: :apivore, order: :defined do
subject { Apivore::SwaggerChecker.instance_for('/swagger.json') }
context 'has valid paths' do
# tests go here
end
context 'and' do
it 'tests all documented routes' do
expect(subject).to validate_all_paths
end
end
endusing the path to your application's Swagger 2.0 documentation. The convention is /swagger.json.
This will validate the json against the Swagger 2.0 schema and allow you to add tests for each documented endpoint combination of a path, method, and expected response.
If your Swagger documentation contains a schema for the response model, the generated tests will test whether the response conforms to that model.
For paths that take parameters, listed in the Swagger docs like /deals/{id}.json, values need to be passed to Apivore to substitute in to access the responses generated by your test data.
This is accomplished by passing the params into the validates function.
context 'has valid paths' do
let(:params) { { "id" => 1 } }
specify do
expect(subject).to validate(
:get, '/deals/{id}.json', 200, params
)
end
# or alternatively
it { is_expected.to validate( :get, '/deals/{id}.json', 200, params ) }
endA query string can be specified with the _query_string key as follows:
expect(subject).to validate(
:get '/deals', 200, {"_query_string" => "title=Hello%20World&edition=3"}
)Parameters in the query string are not validated or processed by Apivore in any way.
Post parameters can be specified with the _data key as follows:
expect(subject).to validate(
:post '/deals', 200, {"_data" => {'title' => 'Hello World'} }
)HTTP headers can be specified via the _headers key:
expect(subject).to validate(
:get '/deals', 200, {"_headers" => {'accept' => 'application/json'} }
)Your Swagger.json can be validated against additional custom schemata, for example to enforce organisation API documentation standards, by using the following syntax:
it 'additionally conforms to a custom schema' do
expect(subject).to conform_to("<your custom schema>.json")
endWe have included an example [here] (data/custom_schemata/westfield_api_standards.json). The file path to this custom schema is stored in Apivore::CustomSchemaValidator::WF_SCHEMA, if you wish to use it.
Run the tests as part of your normal rspec test suite, e.g., rake spec:requests

This project includes and makes use of the OpenAPI (Swagger) 2.0 schema json (Copyright 2016 The Linux Foundation. Released under the Apache License) included here as data/swagger_2.0_schema.json
It also includes a copy of http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema, included as data/draft04_schema.json. These schemata are included to prevent network resource fetching and speed up validation times considerably.
