continuous-automated-testing-ci

CLI and library that adds Synthetics Continuous Automated Testing directly into your CICD pipeline!

Installation

To install the package for use as a library, use your favorite npm-based package manager:

npm install @newrelic/continuous-automated-testing

For use as a CLI package, install it globally:

npm install @newrelic/continuous-automated-testing -g

Usage

CLI

To run a batch of tests when using the package as a CLI, use the run-tests command:

newrelic-cat run-tests -a <new-relic-api-key> -c <json-config-file-path -v

The run-tests command will start a batch of tests based on the config file input. The results will be displayed once the tests have finished running.

The command has the following options:

  • -a, --api-key <value>: Your New Relic API key. We suggest using a secrets manager during CI to avoid hardcoding and exposing your API key.
  • -c, --config-file-path <value>: Relative path to a JSON CAT configuration file. See an example here.
  • -v, --verbose: See more detail on test results in STDOUT. When not enabled, only blocking tests will have all details displayed. Can also be added in the config file.

Library

After installing the package, import the runTestBatch function:

import { runTestBatch } from "@newrelic/newrelic-continuous-automated-testing"

The function takes the following parameters:

  • apiKey: A New Relic API key.
  • config: A JSON CAT configuration file. See an example here.
