Current state:

Multiline strings allow to easily use JSON for the requests but there is no way to use variable to set same specific key.

Idea:

We can use similar syntax as in Twig: {{ variableName }}, to use variable inside multiline variable.

Example:

set login admin
set password qwerty

scenario Test 1
    visit url('/')
        body
        """
        {
            login: "{{login}}",
            password: "{{password}}"
        }
        """

Will send body like:

{
    login: "admin",
    password: "qwerty"
}

Scenario like this works as expected:

scenario:
    steps:
        - visit: url('http://example.com')
          extract:
             hrefs: css("a").extract("href")
        - visit: url(hrefs[0])
          extract:
              title: css("title")

Would be nice if it can iterate over results from previous step:

scenario:
    steps:
        - visit: url('http://example.com')
          extract:
             hrefs: css("a").extract("href")
        - visit: url(hrefs)
          extract:
              title: css("title")

This gives: PHP Warning: ltrim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in phar:///usr/local/bin/blackfire-player.phar/Player/Guzzle/RequestFactory.php on line 60. Is there any workaround?

Step reproduce

scenario.bkf

name "Visitor"

endpoint "http://domain.local/"

set login_body '{ "username": "[email protected]", "password": "admin" }'

scenario
    name "Customer login"

    visit url('/rest/V1/integration/customer/token')
        method 'POST'
        header "Content-Type: application/json"
        header "Accept: application/json"
        body login_body
        set token regex('/\\w+/')
        expect status_code() == 200
    visit url('/rest/V1/carts/mine')
        method 'POST'
        header "Content-Type: application/json"
        header "Accept: application/json"
        header "Authorization: Bearer " ~ token
        header "Cookie: PHPSESSID=fki34dvcj80g7ct23m2u80mci9"
        body ''
        set cart_id body()
        expect status_code() == 200

Run command

blackfire-player run scenario.bkf --variable login_body='{ "username": "[email protected]", "password": "admin" }'

Throw exception

Response for api /rest/V1/integration/customer/token

Thanks.

Make the installation https://blackfire.io/docs/player/index secure.

• it's not using https://
• no signature check

I suggest you look at the phive project and sign the releases so they can be installed via phive. If you have questions, I am happy to assist.

Validate authorization on header not correct

My custom token like: 531f1b07c466e186a4e3e8193514cc03:wgvqn3h7hbmzyld4rr86i65rt50jje44

The header like: Authorization: Bearer 531f1b07c466e186a4e3e8193514cc03:wgvqn3h7hbmzyld4rr86i65rt50jje44

blackfire-player reponse auth like: Authorization: Bearer 531f1b07c466e186a4e3e8193514cc03

I don't login to my API by scenario. Please help me for fix it ? Thanks.

The alpha 3 seems not to be usable with composer, anymore.

The path in the blackfire-player.php in /bin to the autoload.php of composer is not correct and the link to the bin php file in /vendor/bin/ is missing.

Would be great if the player is still usable as a dependency loaded by composer in the future :-)

Trying to install this via Composer into Laravel 5.2 results in:

[InvalidArgumentException] Could not find package blackfireioplayer at any version for your minimum-st ability (stable). Check the package spelling or your minimum-stability

Are you able to get the Blackfire Player to a stable state inside Composer?

The console component is listed as a dev requirement, while it is required to have it in the phar (same for other dev requirements btw). This would make them normal requirements

This is analogous to the "run" command, which also accepts the scenario on stdin. It allows running the validator inside a Docker container without doing funny stuff to get the data inside.

I try to add Blackfire Player to the demo of API Platform: https://github.com/api-platform/demo/pull/91 It looks like it's not possible to access JSON keys containing a special char like @ (used by JSON-LD).

Example

scenario
    visit url('/books')
        name "Post a new book"
        method "POST"
        header "accept: application/ld+json"
        header "content-type: application/ld+json"
        body
        """
        {
          "isbn": "978-2-918390-36-7",
          "title": "Code performance explained",
          "description": "Blackfire.io, the book",
          "author": "Fabien Potencier",
          "publicationDate": "today"
        }
        """
        expect status_code() == 201
        set id json("'@id'")

    visit url(id)
        expect status_code() == 200

It looks valid according to JMESPath, but it returns an empty string with BlackFire player. However, accessing to hydra:member (the colon is also a special char) works.

Hey. Did you think about adding possibility to create multiline arguments in scenarios? It would increase readability of bigger JSON bodies for sending POST / PUT requests. :)

Use case : When you want to profile a login form (or other HTTP POST) from player in "Profile all requests".

Feature : Add a option for enable debug mode.

Hi!

I'm trying to combine the usage of with and assert in order to write a single visit url() block which will be driven by configuration (from the with).

Here is our .blackfire.yaml:

scenarios: |
    #!blackfire-player

    scenario
        name "Performance regression"

        with slug, data in \
            { \
                '/a': { name: 'A', maxWallTime: '1s' }, \
                '/b': { name: 'B', maxWallTime: '2s' }, \
                '/c': { name: 'C', maxWallTime: '3s' }
            }

            visit url(slug)
                samples 3
                warmup true
                name "Checking performance for " ~ data['name']
                expect status_code() == 200
                assert main.wall_time < data["maxWallTime"] * var('time_coeff', 1)
                assert percent(main.wall_time) < 10%

The issue is caused by the usage of data["maxWallTime"]. I've tried different syntaxes but it still fails (with different error message tho):

1. assert main.wall_time < data["maxWallTime"] * var('time_coeff', 1):

Unexpected characters (maxWallTime"]) at line 3 (near "assertions: ["main.wall_time < data["maxWallTime"] * var('time_coeff', 1)"]") in the request configuration (config_yml)

2. assert main.wall_time < data['maxWallTime'] * var('time_coeff', 1):

Invalid configuration for path "tests._assertion_2.assertions.0.expression": Variable "data" is not valid around position 18 for expression `main.wall_time < data['maxWallTime'] * var('time_coeff', 1)`. Did you forget to prefix your variable with "main.", "metrics.", "runtime.", or "vars."?

3. assert main.wall_time < data.maxWallTime * var('time_coeff', 1):

Invalid configuration for path "tests._assertion_2.assertions.0.expression": Variable "data" is not valid around position 18 for expression `main.wall_time < data.maxWallTime * var('time_coeff', 1)`. Did you forget to prefix your variable with "main.", "metrics.", "runtime.", or "vars."?

Does someone know how to make things working?

Thanks!

Hello! I would like to add some basic support for JUnit reports - that becomes a nice standard for the showing reports from tests in tools like gitlab or junit. Here is some MVP PR for the basic support to show basic information about failed or passed tests. Supported features:

• amount of executed scenarios (test suites) and steps (test cases)
• failure and error messages in report Result has been checked agains Jenkins schema.

Features that can be added in the future:

• better naming - right now it shows raw scenario names - without resolved variables.
• add time to the results

Updating the player is a bit of a hassle as we need to actually download and install a new version over the previous one.

Having a blackfire-player selfupdate would be very handy.

the docs at https://blackfire.io/docs/player/index#visiting-a-page-with-visit mention a request notation using a long inline string:

scenario
    visit url('/login')
        method 'POST'
        body
        """
        {
            "user": "john",
            "password": "doe"
        }
        """

we tried using the very same notation for asserting the response body, but were not able to get a result without a syntax error within the config file.

could you describe a small example on how to expect body() using a long multiline response body string?

we tried things like

scenario
    visit url('/login')
        method 'POST'
        body
        """
        {
            "user": "john",
            "password": "doe"
        }
        """
        expect status_code() == 200
        expect body
        """
        {
            "status": "success"
        }
        """

and also tried

scenario
    visit url('/login')
        method 'POST'
        body
        """
        {
            "user": "john",
            "password": "doe"
        }
        """
        expect status_code() == 200
        expect body()
        """
        {
            "status": "success"
        }
        """

.. both dont work
