Dynamics Cog

CircleCI

This is a Crank Cog for Dynamics, providing steps and assertions for you to validate the state and behavior of your Dynamics instance.

Installation

Ensure you have the crank CLI and docker installed and running locally, then run the following. You'll be prompted to enter your Dynamics credentials once the Cog is successfully installed.

$ crank cog:install automatoninc/dynamics

Note: You can always re-authenticate later.

Usage

Authentication

You will be asked for the following authentication details on installation. To avoid prompts in a CI/CD context, you can provide the same details as environment variables.

Field Install-Time Environment Variable Description
resource CRANK_AUTOMATONINC_DYNAMICS__RESOURCE Resource URL
clientId CRANK_AUTOMATONINC_DYNAMICS__CLIENTID Client Id
clientSecret CRANK_AUTOMATONINC_DYNAMICS__CLIENTSECRET Client Secret
# Re-authenticate by running this
$ crank cog:auth automatoninc/dynamics

Steps

Once installed, the following steps will be available for use in any of your Scenario files.

Name (ID) Expression Expected Data
Create a Dynamics CRM Lead
(CreateLead)
create a dynamics crm lead - lead: A map of field names to field values
Delete a Dynamics CRM Lead
(DeleteLead)
delete the (?<email>.+) dynamics crm lead - email: Lead's email address
Check a field on a Dynamics CRM Lead
(LeadFieldEquals)
the (?<field>[a-zA-Z0-9_]+) field on dynamics crm lead (?<email>.+) should (?<operator>be set|not be set|be less than|be greater than|be one of|be|contain|not be one of|not be|not contain) ?(?<expectedValue>.+)? - email: Lead's email address

- field: Field name to check

- operator: Check Logic (be, not be, contain, not contain, be greater than, be less than, be set, not be set, be one of, or not be one of)

- expectedValue: Expected field value

Development and Contributing

Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change. Please make sure to add or update tests as appropriate.

Setup

  1. Install node.js (v12.x+ recommended)
  2. Clone this repository.
  3. Install dependencies via npm install
  4. Run npm start to validate the Cog works locally (ctrl+c to kill it)
  5. Run crank cog:install --source=local --local-start-command="npm start" to register your local instance of this Cog. You may need to append a --force flag or run crank cog:uninstall automatoninc/dynamics if you've already installed the distributed version of this Cog.

Adding/Modifying Steps

Modify code in src/steps and validate your changes by running crank cog:step automatoninc/dynamics and selecting your step.

To add new steps, create new step classes in src/steps. Use existing steps as a starting point for your new step(s). Note that you will need to run crank registry:rebuild in order for your new steps to be recognized.

Always add tests for your steps in the test/steps folder. Use existing tests as a guide.

Modifying the API Client or Authentication Details

Modify the ClientWrapper class at src/client/client-wrapper.ts.

  • If you need to add or modify authentication details, see the expectedAuthFields static property.
  • If you need to expose additional logic from the wrapped API client, add a new ublic method to the wrapper class, which can then be called in any step.
  • It's also possible to swap out the wrapped API client completely. You should only have to modify code within this clase to achieve that.

Note that you will need to run crank registry:rebuild in order for any changes to authentication fields to be reflected. Afterward, you can re-authenticate this Cog by running crank cog:auth automatoninc/dynamics

Tests and Housekeeping

Tests can be found in the test directory and run like this: npm test. Ensure your code meets standards by running npm run lint.
