# shakedown



A tiny Bash DSL for HTTP testing with zero dependencies*.



Make HTTP requests and assert on the response body and headers.



* unless you count cURL and grep



## Example

Create `test.sh`:

```bash

#!/usr/bin/env bash

source shakedown.sh                             # load the framework



shakedown GET /about                            # make a GET request

  status 200                                    # assert response status is 200

  content_type 'text/html'                      # assert Content-Type header contains string

  header 'Expires'                              # assert response header exists containing string

  contains 'Take back your privacy!'            # assert response body contains string



shakedown POST / -d 'q=Shakedown'               # make a POST request with form data

  status 200

  contains 'Bob Seger'

```



Run the tests against a base URL:

```

$ ./test.sh -u https://duckduckgo.com

Starting shakedown of https://duckduckgo.com



GET /about

 ✔ status 200

 ✔ Content-Type: text/html

 ✔ header Expires

 ✔ contains "Take back your privacy!"



POST /

 ✔ status 200

 ✔ contains "Bob Seger"



Shakedown complete. 2 passed, 0 failed.

```



## DSL

```

shakedown   

  

  

  ...

```



## Assertions

```

status                     Response status code = 

contains                 Response body contains 

matches                   Response body matches 

header                   Response headers contains 

no_header                Response headers do not contain 

content_type             Content-Type header contains 

header_contains    Response header  contains 

```



## HTTP Authentication

Use the -c option to provide credentials.



```./test.sh -u my.domain.com -c user:pass```



## Setting cURL options

Any parameters after the path are passed straight on to cURL.



e.g. To send form data, follow redirects and set verbose output.



```shakedown POST /search -d 'query=shakedown' -L -v```



## Exit code

The exit code is set to the number of failed tests.



## Debugging

To help diagnose failing tests use ```print_headers```, ```print_body```, or make cURL verbose with '-v'.



## More Examples

```bash

#!/usr/bin/env bash

source shakedown.sh                               # load the framework



shakedown GET /foo                                # make a GET request

  status 404                                      # assert on http status code

  content_type 'text/html'                        # assert Content-Type header contains string

  contains 'Not found'                            # assert body contains string

  matches 'No.*'                                  # assert body matches regex



shakedown HEAD /                                  # make a HEAD request

  status 302



shakedown GET / -H 'Accept: application/json'     # add curl options

  print_headers                                   # output response headers for debugging

  print_body                                      # output response body for debugging

  status 200

  header 'Expires'



shakedown PUT /user/1 -d name=Rob                 # make a PUT request

  status 201



shakedown GET http://www.google.com -L            # provide full url to override default base url.

  status 200                                      # -L cURL option to follow redirects



shakedown GET http://www.google.com

  header_contains 'Referrer-Policy' 'no-referrer' # assert header 'Referrer-Policy' contains value 'no-referrer'



shakedown GET /about

  contains "$(cat about.html)" | head -n1         # because this is a bash script we can read files etc.

```



## Environment variables

The environment variables `SHAKEDOWN_URL` and `SHAKEDOWN_CREDENTIALS` can be used instead of passing -u and -c options.



```SHAKEDOWN_URL=https://duckduckgo.com ./test.sh```



Request timeouts can be set with:

```

SHAKEDOWN_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=5  # sets the curl option --connect-timeout. defaults to 5 seconds.

SHAKEDOWN_MAX_TIME=30        # sets the curl option --max-time. defaults to 30 seconds.

```



## Running tests in parallel

Divide your tests into multiple files, then run those in parallel, for example:



```bash

export SHAKEDOWN_URL=https://duckduckgo.com

ls -1 test-*.sh | parallel bash

```
