🚀 RestifiedTS - Enterprise API Testing Framework

Production-grade TypeScript testing framework with fluent DSL for REST APIs, GraphQL, WebSocket, and database testing. Features dynamic JSON fixtures, comprehensive variable resolution, and enterprise automation.

🆕 What's New in v2.4.0 - Enhanced Assertion Capture & State Management

🎯 NEW: Comprehensive Assertion Capture System

• 🔍 Automatic Assertion Capture: Captures assertions from Chai, Node.js assert, and custom frameworks
• 📊 Enhanced Expected/Actual Values: Shows proper comparison data instead of "undefined"
• 🗄️ Database Test Support: Full assertion visibility for database and non-HTTP tests
• 📈 Mixed Test Reporting: Unified reporting for HTTP + database validation tests
• 🧹 Clean State Management: Isolated test execution preventing data leakage between tests

🛠️ State Persistence Fixes

• ✅ No Data Leakage: Request/response data no longer persists between unrelated tests
• ✅ Proper Test Isolation: Each test gets clean state regardless of previous test execution
• ✅ Memory Efficiency: Automatic cleanup prevents memory leaks in large test suites
• ✅ Accurate Reporting: HTML reports only show data for tests that actually made HTTP calls

📊 Enhanced HTML Reporting

describe('Database Validation', function() {
  it('should validate user data', function() {
    const user = { id: 1, name: 'John', active: true };
    
    // All assertions automatically captured with proper expected/actual values
    expect(user.id).to.equal(1);           // Expected: 1, Actual: 1
    expect(user.name).to.include('John');  // Expected: to include John, Actual: John  
    assert.strictEqual(user.active, true); // Expected: true, Actual: true
    
    // HTML report shows all assertions with detailed comparison data
  });
});

🐛 Enhanced Debugging

# Enable assertion capture debugging
DEBUG_RESTIFIED_ASSERTIONS=true npm test

# Enable HTML reporter debugging
DEBUG_RESTIFIED_REPORTER=true npm test

# Output shows detailed assertion capture process:
# 🎯 Started capturing external assertions for test: Database Test
# ✅ Hooked into Chai expect()
# ➕ Captured external assertion: expect(42).to.equal(42)
# 🔍 Merged 3 external assertions into test result

Simple Test Example

import { restified } from "restifiedts";

describe("API Tests", function () {
  it("should get user data", async function () {
    const response = await restified
      .given()
      .useClient("api") // Pre-configured with auth & headers
      .when()
      .get("/users/1")
      .execute();

    await response
      .statusCode(200)
      .jsonPath("$.name", "Leanne Graham")
      .execute();
    // Step 1: Start capturing external assertions
    response.startCapturing();

    // Step 2: Get the wrapped expect function from response
    const expect = response.expect; // This provides Chai expect with capture

    // Step 3: Use normal Chai syntax - assertions will be automatically captured
    expect(responseData.id).to.equal(1);
    expect(responseData.name).to.be.a("string");
    expect(responseData.email).to.contain("@");
    expect(responseData.website).to.match(/\w+\.\w+/);

    // Step 4: Finish capturing and include in RestifiedTS HTML report
    const captured = await response.finishCapturing();
  });
});

🏢 Enterprise Features

🌐 Multi-Client Architecture

// restified.config.ts - Configure once, use everywhere
clients: {
  api: { baseURL: 'https://api.company.com' },
  userService: { baseURL: 'https://users.company.com' },
  orderService: { baseURL: 'https://orders.company.com' },
  paymentGateway: { baseURL: 'https://payments.company.com' }
}

🔐 Automatic Authentication ✅ FULLY FUNCTIONAL

NEW: Automatic authentication is now fully implemented and working! No more manual auth setup required.

// ✅ Authenticate once, use everywhere - WORKS AUTOMATICALLY!
authentication: {
  endpoint: '/login',
  method: 'POST',
  client: 'api',
  
  // Login credentials
  credentials: {
    login: '[email protected]',
    password: 'ABCD123'
    // Or use username/password if your API requires it
  },
  
  // Extract data from auth response
  extractors: {
    token: '$.access_token',              // ✅ Auto-extracted
    userEmail: '$.user.email',            // ✅ Available as globalUserEmail  
    userId: '$.user.id',                  // ✅ Available as globalUserId
    roles: '$.user.roles',                // ✅ Available as globalRoles
    permissions: '$.user.permissions',    // ✅ Available as globalPermissions
    refreshToken: '$.refresh_token'       // ✅ Auto-managed token refresh
  },
  
  // ✅ AUTOMATIC: Tokens applied to clients instantly  
  autoApplyToClients: 'all',              // Apply to all clients
  authHeaderName: 'Authorization',        // ✅ Configurable header name
  
  // ✅ NEW: Enterprise features
  fallback: {                             // ✅ CI/CD fallback tokens
    token: process.env.FALLBACK_TOKEN || 'dev-token'
  },
  enableTokenRefresh: true,               // ✅ Automatic token refresh
  tokenRefreshThreshold: 300              // ✅ Refresh 5 min before expiry
}

🎯 What happens automatically:

1. Authentication Request: Executes on startup/config load
2. Token Extraction: Uses JSONPath extractors to get tokens
3. Client Application: Adds Authorization: Bearer <token> to specified clients
4. Global Variables: Stores globalAuthToken, globalRefreshToken, globalUserEmail etc.
5. Fallback Handling: Uses fallback tokens if auth fails
6. Token Refresh: Automatically refreshes tokens before expiry

📝 Simplified Test Setup:

// setup.ts - SUPER SIMPLE NOW!
before(async function() {
  await restified.loadConfigFromFile();     // ✅ Auth happens automatically
  await restified.initializeAuthentication(); // ✅ Wait for completion
  console.log('✅ Authenticated and ready!');
});

📊 Enterprise Headers & Tracing

// Automatic enterprise headers on all requests
globalHeaders: {
  'X-Tenant-ID': process.env.TENANT_ID,
  'X-Trace-ID': '{{$random.uuid}}',
  'X-Compliance-Mode': 'strict'
}

🌟 Multi-Protocol Support

RestifiedTS supports comprehensive testing across multiple protocols and technologies:

🔗 GraphQL Testing

// Create GraphQL client
restified.createGraphQLClient('graphql', {
  endpoint: 'https://api.example.com/graphql',
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer {{token}}' }
});

// Execute GraphQL queries and mutations
const response = await restified.getGraphQLClient('graphql')
  .query(`
    query GetUser($id: ID!) {
      user(id: $id) { name email }
    }
  `, { id: '123' });

⚡ WebSocket Testing

// Create WebSocket client
restified.createWebSocketClient('ws', {
  url: 'wss://api.example.com/ws',
  reconnectAttempts: 3
});

// Connect and test real-time communication
await restified.connectWebSocket('ws');
const client = restified.getWebSocketClient('ws');

await client.sendJSON({ type: 'subscribe', channel: 'orders' });

🎯 Core Features

🔄 Fluent DSL

const response = await restified
  .given()
    .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
    .headers({ 'X-API-Key': 'secret' })
    .variable('userId', 123)
  .when()
    .get('/users/{{userId}}')
    .execute();

await response
  .statusCode(200)
  .jsonPath('$.name', 'Expected Name')
  .extract('$.id', 'extractedUserId')
  .execute();

⚡ High-Performance Connection Pooling

// HTTP/2 connection pooling for faster requests
const response = await restified
  .given()
    .connectionPool({
      keepAlive: true,
      maxSockets: 50,
      http2: true
    })
    .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
  .when()
    .get('/users')
    .execute();

// Monitor performance metrics
const metrics = restified.getConnectionMetrics();
console.log(`${metrics.cacheHitRatio}% connection reuse`);

🔄 Smart Retry with Monitoring

// Intelligent retry with comprehensive monitoring
const response = await restified
  .given()
    .retry({
      enabled: true,
      maxAttempts: 3,
      baseDelay: 1000,
      retryOnStatusCodes: [429, 500, 502, 503, 504]
    })
    .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
  .when()
    .get('/users')
    .execute();

// Monitor retry statistics
const retryStats = restified.getRetryStats();
console.log(`${retryStats.successAfterRetry} successful retries`);

📊 Advanced Assertions

await response
  .statusCode(200)
  .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
  .jsonPath('$.data[*].id', (ids) => ids.length > 0)
  .jsonSchema(userSchema)
  .responseTime((time) => time < 500)
  .execute();

⏱️ Sleep/Wait Methods

RestifiedTS provides three flexible approaches for adding delays in your API tests:

🔗 1. Independent Sleep/Wait (Between DSL Calls)

// Between requests or anywhere in test flow
const response1 = await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .get('/users/1')
  .execute();

response1.statusCode(200);

// Independent sleep - not part of DSL chain
await restified.sleep(2000);  // 2 seconds
await restified.wait(1000);   // 1 second (alias for sleep)

// Continue with next request
const response2 = await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .get('/users/2')
  .execute();

response2.statusCode(200);

⚡ 2. WhenStep Sleep (Before HTTP Request)

// Sleep accumulates in WhenStep before making HTTP request
const response = await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .sleep(2000)   // 2 seconds
  .wait(1000)    // + 1 second  
  .sleep(2000)   // + 2 seconds = 5 seconds total
  .get('/users/delayed')  // HTTP request happens after 5-second delay
  .execute();

response.statusCode(200);

✨ 3. ThenStep Sleep (After Assertions)

// Sleep after assertions for timing-sensitive scenarios
const response = await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .get('/users/process')
  .execute();

// Sleep after assertions (useful for async processing)
await response
  .statusCode(202)  // Processing started
  .jsonPath('$.status', 'processing')
  .sleep(5000);     // Wait 5 seconds for processing to complete

// Follow up with status check
const statusResponse = await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .get('/users/process/status')
  .execute();

statusResponse.statusCode(200).jsonPath('$.status', 'completed');

🚀 Real-World Use Cases

// Rate limiting compliance
for (let i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
  await restified.given()
    .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
  .when()
    .get(`/users/${i}`)
    .execute()
  .then()
    .statusCode(200);
  
  // Rate limit: 1 request per second
  if (i < 3) await restified.sleep(1000);
}

// Async processing workflow
await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .post('/jobs/start', { task: 'process-data' })
  .execute()
.then()
  .statusCode(202);

// Wait for processing
await restified.sleep(3000);

// Check job status
await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .get('/jobs/status')
  .execute()
.then()
  .statusCode(200)
  .jsonPath('$.status', 'completed');

// Simulating user interaction delays
await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .sleep(1500)  // Simulate user thinking time
  .post('/cart/add', { productId: 123 })
  .execute()
.then()
  .statusCode(201);

await restified.sleep(2000);  // User reviews cart

await restified.given()
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .post('/checkout/start')
  .execute()
.then()
  .statusCode(200);

⚙️ Sleep Method Features

✅ Three Flexible Approaches: Independent, WhenStep, and ThenStep ✅ Accumulative WhenStep: Multiple .sleep() calls add up before HTTP request ✅ Both Aliases: .sleep() and .wait() available in all contexts ✅ Fluent API: Maintains clean method chaining ✅ Non-Breaking: Doesn't affect existing RestifiedTS functionality ✅ Type-Safe: Full TypeScript support with proper return types ✅ Use Case Optimized: Perfect for rate limiting, async processing, and user simulation

🔄 Smart Retry System with Exponential Backoff

RestifiedTS includes intelligent retry mechanisms with exponential backoff, jitter, and comprehensive error handling for maximum reliability in unstable network conditions.

🎯 1. Basic Retry Configuration

// Enable smart retries for better reliability
const response = await restified.given()
  .retry({
    enabled: true,           // Enable retry mechanism (default: true)
    maxAttempts: 3,         // Max retry attempts (default: 3)
    baseDelay: 1000,        // Base delay in ms (default: 1000)
    backoffMultiplier: 2,   // Exponential backoff (default: 2)
    enableJitter: true,     // Add jitter to prevent thundering herd (default: true)
    retryOnStatusCodes: [408, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504] // Retry conditions
  })
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
  .get('/users')
  .execute();

response.statusCode(200);

⚡ 2. Advanced Retry Strategies

// Custom retry conditions and callbacks
await restified.given()
  .retry({
    enabled: true,
    maxAttempts: 5,

🛡️ Circuit Breaker Pattern for Network Resilience

RestifiedTS includes enterprise-grade Circuit Breaker pattern implementation to prevent cascade failures and protect downstream services from being overwhelmed during outages. The circuit breaker monitors failure rates and automatically fails fast when services are unhealthy, allowing them time to recover.

🎯 1. Basic Circuit Breaker Configuration

// Enable circuit breaker for automatic failure protection
const response = await restified.given()
  .circuitBreaker({
    enabled: true,                    // Enable circuit breaker (default: true)
    failureThreshold: 5,             // Open after 5 consecutive failures
    failureThresholdPercentage: 50,  // Or 50% failure rate
    requestVolumeThreshold: 10,      // Minimum requests before evaluation
    timeoutDuration: 30000,          // Request timeout (30s)
    resetTimeoutDuration: 60000,     // Time before trying HALF_OPEN (60s)
    halfOpenMaxAttempts: 3           // Max attempts in HALF_OPEN state
  })
  .baseURL('https://api.example.com')
.when()
