Project Status: v0.2.0 release. The project is still in its early stages. To report a bug, feel free to open an issue.

🎯 About The Project

Automagically generate Karate API tests from your GraphQL schemas. Useful for test-driven development, change validation in CI/CD, and more.

✨ Features

Here are some features that this tool provides:

Generate API tests from GraphQL schemas: Karate API test generation for both Query and Mutation operations is supported.
Filterable Query and Mutation operations: Allows you to filter down and generate tests for a specific subset of target operations.
Validate response codes and response shapes: Validates response codes and response schemas using Karate schema validation.
Handles cyclical type relationships: Prunes cyclical types to remove cycles as they are encountered.
Supports custom scalar types: Custom scalar types may be optionally mapped to their corresponding Karate schema types.
Generates test data for arguments and input types: Test data for query arguments and input types is generated automatically.
Interactive and non-interactive CLI modes: Supports both interactive and non-interactive CLI modes, as well as JSON configuration.
Federation-specific directives: Supports some federation-specific directives, like @inaccessible and @external.

🤖 Installation

📥 Binary Releases

Head over to releases and download the latest binary for your specific platform. If a binary for your platform is not available, see the Package Manager or Building From Source sections below.

📦 Package Manager

graphql-to-karate is also available as a NuGet offering and can be installed with the following command:

🛠️ Building From Source

To build from source, clone the repository locally and run some flavor of the following command. Be sure to update <runtime identifier> to your target platform. A catalog of available runtime identifiers can be viewed here.

dotnet publish src/GraphQLToKarate.CommandLine/GraphQLToKarate.CommandLine.csproj \
  --configuration Release \
  --runtime <runtime identifier> \
  --output ./publish \
  --self-contained true \
  --force \
  /p:PublishReadyToRun=true \
  /p:PublishSingleFile=true \
  /p:TreatWarningsAsErrors=false

Once published, you can move the binary to your preferred install location to use.

🌌 Usage

To use graphql-to-karate, simply invoke the graphql-to-karate convert command, passing your GraphQL schema file as an argument:

graphql-to-karate convert my-schema.graphql

By default, you will be walked through conversion in an interactive way within the CLI.

A --non-interactive option as well as JSON configuration are also available (see full Command Options below), which may be useful in CI/CD environments.

📖 Examples of Non-Interactive Invokation

Using Command-Line Options

graphql-to-karate convert my-schema.graphql \
  --non-interactive \
  --base-url "https://my-api.com" \
  --custom-scalar-mapping DateTime:string,Long:number,Float:number,URL:string \
  --query-operation-filter Users,UserById \
  --output-file some-api.feature\

Using a JSON configuration

graphql-to-karate convert my-schema.graphql --non-interactive --configuration-file config.json

This flavor of graphql-to-karate usage is used within CI/CD validation for this repository, where a mock GraphQL server is spun up, graphql-to-karate converts the GraphQL schema to a Karate API test, and then the generated Karate API test is run. The JSON configuration file used can be found here. Check out the full workflow here.
