Documentation

Requirements

Inferno Core requires Ruby 2.7+ and Node.js and NPM.

Running Inferno Core

If you are interested in developing tests using Inferno Core, use the Inferno Template Repository. These instructions are for developers working on Inferno Core itself.

# Install dependencies
npm install
bundle install

# Set up database
bundle exec bin/inferno migrate

# Start Inferno Core server and UI
npm run dev

Inferno Core can then be accessed by navigating to http://localhost:4567

To only run the server (JSON API with no UI): bundle exec puma

Running tests via JSON API

With the server running, first retrieve a list of available test suites:

GET http://localhost:4567/api/test_suites

See the details of a test suite:

GET http://localhost:4567/api/test_suites/TEST_SUITE_ID

Then create a test session for the suite you want to use:

POST http://localhost:4567/api/test_sessions?test_suite_id=TEST_SUITE_ID

Tests within a suite are organized in groups. Create a test run to run an entire suite, a group, or an individual test. Only one of test_suite_id, test_group_id, or test_id should be provided.

POST http://localhost:4567/api/test_runs
{
  "test_session_id": "TEST_SESSION_ID",
  "test_suite_id": "TEST_SUITE_ID",
  "test_group_id": "TEST_GROUP_ID",
  "test_id": "TEST_ID",
  "inputs": [
    {
      "name": "input1",
      "value": "input1 value"
    },
    {
      "name": "input2",
      "value": "input2 value"
    }
  ]
}

Then you can view the results of the test run:

GET http://localhost:4567/api/test_runs/TEST_RUN_ID/results
or
GET http://localhost:4567/api/test_sessions/TEST_SESSION_ID/results

Development

To get to an interactive console, run bundle exec bin/inferno console
