- Type of hook
- vREST provides 4 types of hooks (Pre and Post Test Run hooks and Pre and post Test Case hooks).
- Data sent to each type of hook is different. For more information on data format, visit this link.
- Few Use cases:
- Pre Test Run hook can be useful in setting cookie based authentication to third party tools. (Note: Authorization can also be configured via More Options >> Authorizations, similar to test cases.)
- Post Test Case hook can be useful in logging bugs in issue tracking systems for failed test cases.
- Post Test Run hook can be useful in triggering jobs on the continuous integration server if there are no failed test cases.
- Hook Condition
- A hook condition can be specified in the "Details" sub-tab of an individual hook.
- Few Use Cases:
- Suppose you want to execute post test case hook for failed test cases, then provide !{{$tc.result.isPassed}} as condition of the hook.
- Suppose you want to execute post test run hook if there are some failed test cases, then provide {{$tr.result.failedCount}} > 0 as condition of the hook.
- Viewing hook results
- Hook results can be seen in the Test Cases tab.
- Test Run hook results are shown where test run statistics are shown in test cases tab as shown in the following snapshot.
- Test Case hook results are shown in the "Results" sub-tab of individual test cases as shown in the following snapshot.
