Inferno Core is an open source tool for testing data exchanges enabled by the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard.
If you are interested in developing tests using Inferno Core, use the Inferno Template Repository.
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/inferno
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/inferno/api/test_suites
See the details of a test suite:
GET http://localhost:4567/inferno/api/test_suites/TEST_SUITE_ID
Then create a test session for the suite you want to use:
POST http://localhost:4567/inferno/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/inferno/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/inferno/api/test_runs/TEST_RUN_ID/results
or
GET http://localhost:4567/inferno/api/test_sessions/TEST_SESSION_ID/results
Development
To get to an interactive console, run bundle exec bin/inferno console
Documentation
Inferno documentation source code is located in the docs/
directory. This documentation is rendered using Jekyll, which creates a site that can be built and served with:
cd docs/
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve
By default the site will be served at http://localhost:4000/inferno-core/
