Validate data payload against a given JSON Schema.
yarn add @jc21/cypress-jsonschema-validation
Then in your cypress Plugins file:
const {JsonSchemaValidation} = require('@jc21/cypress-jsonschema-validation');
module.exports = (on, config) => {
// ...
on('task', JsonSchemaValidation(config));
// ...
return config;
};
describe('Basic API checks', () => {
it('Should return a valid health payload', function () {
cy.request('/healthz').then($response => {
cy.task('validateJsonSchema', {
data: $response.body,
verbose: true, // optional, default: false
schemaFile: './testing/schema.json', // path or full URL, see below
// Or you can also define the schema inline:
schema: {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "integer"
}
}
},
}).should('equal', null);
});
});
});
You can provide the schemaFile
or the schema
. One of these options is required and using both will cause an error.
The schemaFile
can either be a file on disk or a URL. When using a file on disk and due to the fact that this plugin
runs on the Cypress Backend, the location of the file must be defined as either the full path on disk or relative path
to the running of the cypress command.
