I will look further into why I needed to add module for it to work as its not the first time I've come across this, for which I come across something similar with ava (from what I've seen so far the export is to allow something to be public), but any pointers into the right direction to get a better understanding would be great, I suspect this is related to nodejs with modules and versions of ES, and certain packages (I could be wrong), but I will be sure to do some further learnings after finishing this tut.

Thank you Automation Bro. Much helpful. Can you tell how can we read the JSON file in supertest and pass it to POST request body? I have a request body that has 100 lines of data. My idea is to read the JSON file from the local drive and pass it to the post command. How can we do this?
Thanks for the detail video on API autoamtion i have limitied knowledge on this ,but with this am able to get knowledge and able to relate to the project,tq u so much can i get the reply from u having few more doubts can i ask on api automation
This is exactly what I wanted to implement in my project. Thanks for this video. Is there any documentation available for Chai and Mocha? There are few more things i need to understand before I start working.
Hello daljit I have doubt . 1. Why you use Babel here . Balel use for transfer ES6+ code to ES5 code for old browser but why you install and configure babel
Hi Pradeep, first off my name is Dilpreet (not daljit) :) Second, since we are using ES6 code such as import statements we need to use babel to support that. There are other workarounds that we can do to avoid that but simply using babel makes it easy to use both import and require statements.
People say that learn Java for API Automation testing most of companies use that. What should I do? Do I need to learn JavaScript for API automation orJava?
It's not the language that matters, it's about understanding the concepts behind API Automation and learning best practices. Once you know that, you can pick any language of your choice to automate it.
I'm very new to testing, and they told me to learn more about performance, load and stress testing. What do you suggest me to do?! Can you explain it in short terms what it is, what are the best tools to use etc... I'm more in javascript langugage. Thanks!
Thanks for the video Dilpreet. When I write blocks it or descripe(on vs code) there is not pasted automatically brackets or other symbvols. How to correct set up plugin?
I had the same problem. I think the video needs a bit more details regarding the setup steps and any extensions that might be needed. The following worked for me to fix this. In vs code.

Hi Dilpreet, Thanks a ton for this amazing video. I have one question here, I have to also define header things as we define in postman tool. so where shall I define them in the user file ? Thanking you in advance
In Supertest, you can define headers for a request using the .set() method. This method sets a header value for the next request to be sent. You can chain multiple .set() methods to set multiple headers for the same request. You can find examples here - www.npmjs.com/package/supertest
@@sdetunicorns I have set the header value as return request .post('loginUser') .set(('Accept','application/json'),('Content-Length',[500]),('Host',[600])) .send(data) .then((res) => { console.log(res.body.accessToken); in postman(Header) : Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: Host: Error in Javascript: TypeError: Header name must be a valid HTTP token ["application/json"] please let me know what is wrong I am making here
Hi, curl request is simply an HTTP request which you can do with SuperTest itself. You can watch this course to learn how to make different kinds of HTTP request.
Hi Dilpreet, Thanks for the video. I need to implement my framework so that we can run the scripts in different environments by providing an environment parameter through cli or any other way.

You can add this.retries(3); inside your it or describe block and it will retry on failure automatically.

is deserialization of response possible in this framework? Like in Java Rest Assured.
No that is not required here as you can directly access and manipulate JSON data with JavaScript.

In the Async / Await section, my text is passing but it’s say “user_id : “must not be a number”. Has anyone else experienced this? What’s the fix?
You will likely need to parse the user_id to string and then pass it to the API.

Hi, Could you please tell me what I need to do to create this framework in TypeScript? Thank you
All these libraries are supported with TS as well, so you don't need to do anything different for TS.
@@sdetunicorns Do I still need babel with ts? What do I need to install differently to do this in ts? Thanks.
Well that depends on your project needs but in general you would not use Babel, just TS compiler is sufficient.
How can i use axios instead of super test
Install axios and everything else will pretty much same
I am getting an error on post request. it shows authentication failed
Try to do these steps in postman to make sure it works fine there. If it does then you can review your code and see what you are doing wrong.
Does anyone has issue with npm: command not found ? I am very new with Jenkins
That's because you need to get NodeJS plugin installed in your Jenkins first and then you will be able to run the npm command.
Can you please share git hub repo for this framework.
