0.8.0 : Circe

This major version contains a couple of breaking changes which impact users relying on some helpers to build custom HTTP/JSON steps.

This migration should be transparent for users of the built-in steps through the DSL.

Breaking changes

• The main topic of this release concerns the migration from Json4s + Spray-json to using solely Circe.
  • This change is visible if you rely on functions from CornichonJson and Session.getJson which now return Json objects instead of Jvalue.
• The HttpService parameters received two changes
  • extractor is now designed as a data type instead of an Option. This change introduces a new feature, it is now possible to extract directly subpart of the response body using a Json path.

extractor = PathExtractor(path = "a.b.c[2].c", key = "my-key") 

• expected renamed to expectedStatus for more clarity

New features

• new bloc step WithDataInputs to repeat a series of steps with different inputs specified via a datatable.

WithDataInputs(
  """
    | a | b  | c  |
    | 1 | 3  | 4  |
    | 7 | 4  | 11 |
    | 1 | -1 | 0  |
  """
) {
  Then assert a_plus_b_equals_c   //custom step reading from session
}

• add alias on BodyArrayAssertion isEmpty equivalent to hasSize(0)

Bug fixes

• the Json path extraction was not 100% correct and could retrieve the wrong key - #38
• errors occuring in afterEach were not properly aggregated - #75
• build GraphQl payload only once

Misc

This release also contains various small improvements:

• better log formatting
• feedback regarding started scenario
• documentation and examples
