Group asserts to form a test
💡 For general support requests and bug reports, please go to checklyhq.com/support
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When creating an API check, asserts are created to validate if the check is successful or not. In some cases, the response received from the API check can return a number of fields that can form a different test e.g. if we can a response that can contain the following fields:
"onlineStatus": "ONLINE", "serialNumber": "5UN9247RXY", "managed": false,
we can create two tests, one that checks for 'onlineStatus' and another that tests for 'managed'. At the moment, if we wanted additional tests, we would have to call the API X number of tests to be performed however, it can get spammy when there are a lot of discrete tests that need to be done.
Describe the solution you'd like Ability to create multiple groups of asserts so that response from the one API call be used for the groups of asserts.
Describe alternatives you've considered Create separate tests, however, lot of duplication and we want to minimize spamming endpoints.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Hey @anish-blackbox you can already check multiple parts of the response body by just adding more JSON path assertions.
i.e. just add one to check for onlineStatus and one for managed.
Yes, that is currently possible however, the thinking was, if i want 12 tests, each test made up with assertions, then i am making 12 calls to the same API endpoint. If the tests are run every x mins then it can get spammy
@anish-blackbox maybe I'm not understanding, do you have 12 different API endpoints? Or does your API return 12 different responses? In most cases, all your checks / test should validate exactly 1 use case, not multiple.
One endpoint, however, i want to create multiple tests off that one api call without having to call that api multiple times
