Cucumber HTTP steps

THIS LIBRARY IS VERY NEW, I'M NOT DONE WITH THE CORE YET, BUT IT'S USABLE

This library aims to provide a bundle of Cucumber predefined steps to perform HTTP calls and perform verifications on the HTTP response.

There is a small test project demonstrating how to use this library here https://github.com/brobert83/cucumber_base_http_java8_springboot_test

Visit the WIKI for more information

Basic setup

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.brobert83</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-http-java8</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.2</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>     

2. Add the extraGlue

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        features = "src/bdd/resources/features",
        plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber.html"},
        extraGlue = {"io.github.brobert83.cucumber_http_java8"} // you cannot have both glue and extraGlue, be careful with this
)
public class CucumberTest {

}

Steps provided

Given a '(.*)' request
Given the request body is '(.*)'` 
Given the request has header '(.*)'='(.*)'
When the request is sent to '(.*)'
Then the server responds with status code '(.*)'
Then the response body matches '(.*)'`
Then the response has header '(.*)'='(.*)'

Reference doc

Then the response body matches '(.*)'

Example

Scenario: Perform a GET request

  Given a 'GET' request
  Given the request has header 'Content-Type'='application/json'
  
  When the request is sent to '/resources/1'
  
  Then the server responds with status code '200'
  Then the response body matches '{"name":"Rob","status":"active"}'
  Then the response has header 'Content-Type'='application/json'

General considerations

• This main intention for this library is to be used in conjunction with Spring/Springboot
• The mechanism used to create interoperability is Spring beans wiring
