# Pytest - API testing with Python `requests`
 
[![API Tests with Pytest](https://github.com/ghoshasish99/API-Testing-Pytest/actions/workflows/pytest.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ghoshasish99/API-Testing-Pytest/actions/workflows/pytest.yml)

#### Pytest is a mature full-featured Python testing frame that helps you write and run tests in Python.

#### The `requests` module allows you to send HTTP requests using Python.

## Getting started

* To download and install `pytest`, run this command from the terminal : `pip install pytest`
* To download and install `requests`, run this command from the terminal : `pip install requests`

To ensure all dependencies are resolved in a CI environment, in one go, add them to a `requirements.txt` file.
* Then run the following command : `pip install -r requirements.txt`

By default pytest only identifies the file names starting with `test_` or ending with `_test` as the test files.

Pytest requires the test method names to start with `test`. All other method names will be ignored even if we explicitly ask to run those methods.

A sample test below :

```python
def test_fetch_user() :
    path = "api/users/2"
    response = requests.get(url=baseUrl+path)
    responseJson = json.loads(response.text)
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert jsonpath.jsonpath(responseJson,'$.data.first_name')[0] == 'Janet'
    assert jsonpath.jsonpath(responseJson,'$.data.id')[0] == 2

```
## Running tests

If your tests are contained inside a folder 'Tests', then run the following command : `pytest Tests`

To generate xml results, run the following command : `pytest Tests --junitxml="result.xml"`
