Example

Execute JetTest to run API tests against a target host using a specific YAML configuration file:

jettest --host https://api.example.com --file file.yaml --clientID myclient --authToken mytoken --timeout 60 --debug

YAML Test Configuration

Define API tests in a YAML configuration file file.yaml with the following structure:

tests:

        user_id: [12345]
      with_token: true
    expect:
      status_code: 200
      max_latency: 5000ms
      body:
        - path: data.username
          value: "john_doe"
        - path: data.email
