Java

Getting Started:

1. Generate a CLI auth token

Go to your accounts page

Click to create a new CLI token

Copy the newly generated CLI token to use in the test configuration file in the next step

2. Create a Test Configuration File

Navigate to root directory of your application and create a .htTestConf.js file

Available Configurations:

.htTestConf.js

const requestTypes = {
  HTTP: 'HTTP',
  GRAPHQL: 'GRAPHQL',
  KAFKA: 'KAFKA',
  GRPC: 'GRPC',
  AMQP: 'AMQP',
};

module.exports = {
  htBackendBaseUrl: "", // URL of HyperTest server (Required)

};

Troubleshooting: Alternative Steps for appStartCommand

1. Navigate to your application's root directory

2. compile the application

mvn clean install

1. Copy all dependency to target/dependency

mvn dependency:copy-dependencies -DoutputDirectory=target/dependency

1. Change .htConfig.js file

Replace <YOUR-APPLICATION-MAIN-FILE> with the main class of your application.

appStartCommand: "java", // Command to start the app (Required)
appStartCommandArgs: [""-cp", "target/classes:target/dependency/*", "<YOUR-APPLICATION-MAIN-FILE>"]

3. Start new test

Start a new test by running this command.

htcli start-new-test --config-file-path ./.htTestConf.js

Open the help to list all possible options available

htcli start-new-test --help

4. Test reports

After the test is completed. You can see the results on the dashboard under Test Results
