Wurl Language

Wurl is a declarative HTTP testing language. Tests are grouped and run concurrently; tests within a group run sequentially.

Basic structure

# This is a comment

group auth
  test "returns 200"
    GET /api/me
    assert status 200
    assert body.user present
    assert body.user.name equals "alice"
  end

  test "rejects unauthenticated"
    GET /api/me
    assert not status 200
    assert status 401
  end
end

group posts
  test "creates a post"
    POST /api/posts
    body.title = "Hello World"
    body.published := true
    assert status 201
    assert body.id present
    assert body.title equals "Hello World"
  end
end
