Generating Client Test Data
Requirements
Generate test requests and responses for Knora's routes, to be used in testing client code without the need for a running Knora instance.
Implementation
Client test data is generated as a side effect of running E2E tests.
E2E tests use ClientTestDataCollector
to collect API requests and
responses. When the E2E tests have completed, the script
webapi/scripts/dump-client-test-data.sh
saves the collected test data
in a Zip file. It then checks the filenames in the Zip file by comparing them
with the list in webapi/scripts/expected-client-test-data.txt
.
Usage
To generate client test data, type:
make client-test-data
When the tests have finished running, you will find the file
client-test-data.zip
in the current directory. Then, run
this script to update the list of expected test data files:
webapi/scripts/update-expected-client-test-data.sh client-test-data.zip
