Running Automated Tests
Adding test automation to your build pipelines supports continuous integration, and allows you to implement and test new features as early as possible.
In Eggplant DAI, you can trigger a set of tests, or test configuration, from the command line. To do this, you need to install and run a CLI tool:
Download the CLI for your platform. The following platforms are supported:
- Windows
- OSX: Big Sur and Monterey
- Linux: CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 16.
Run the
.exefrom the command line with the following mandatory options:eggplant-runner-Windows-6.1.2.exe <SERVER_URL> <TEST_CONFIG_ID> --client-id <CLIENT_ID> --client-secret <CLIENT_SECRET>For example:
eggplant-runner-Windows-6.1.2.exe https://myeggplantserver.com 2905e92f-a3e8-471b-b6d6-e5775e00e784 --client-id client:dai:agent:integration --client-secret b034763d-c708-432f-9240-e660e53c59c9The
.exeruns until the test config is complete.- If the test config runs successfully, it will complete with an exit code of
0. - Other exit codes indicate that the test config has failed.
- If the test config runs successfully, it will complete with an exit code of
