Advanced Smoke Test

Cross platform build and release task for executing smoke tests against a single or multiple URLs with header and proxy support. The task also has the option to retry the test(s), if any test fails.

Single URL

Multiple URLs

For multiple URLs a test for each URL will be executed, if any test fails, the task will fail.

Advanced Options

Expected HTTP status code

The HTTP status code which will be validated. If the server does not respond with the specified status code, the test will fail.

HTTP method

The HTTP method which will be used for all requests.

Headers

List of headers which will be sent with the request(s). One per line, in the following format:

MyHeader=my header value
MySecondHeader=2nd

Proxy

The proxy server used for the request(s).

Alternatively you can specify the ADVANCED_SMOKE_PROXY environment variable.

HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY environment variables are also supported.

Strict SSL

Whether SSL certificates are required to be valid.

Timeout

Timeout in milliseconds for the server to respond. If no timeout is specified, the default from the request module (and in some cases from the OS) will be used.

Retries

Number of retries, which will be executed in case of any errors during the test(s). Useful if used directly after deployment to handle warmup.

Retry delay

Delay (in milliseconds) between retries.
