Bruno CLI

With Bruno CLI, you can now run your API collections with ease using simple command line commands.

This makes it easier to test your APIs in different environments, automate your testing process, and integrate your API tests with your continuous integration and deployment workflows.

For detailed documentation, visit Bruno CLI Documentation.

Installation

To install the Bruno CLI, use the node package manager of your choice, such as NPM:

npm install -g @usebruno/cli

Getting started

Navigate to the directory where your API collection resides, and then run:

bru run

This command will run all the requests in your collection. You can also run a single request by specifying its filename:

bru run request.bru

Or run all requests in a collection's subfolder:

bru run folder

If you need to use an environment, you can specify it with the --env option:

bru run folder --env Local

If you need to collect the results of your API tests, you can specify the --output option:

bru run folder --output results.json

If you need to run a set of requests that connect to peers with both publicly and privately signed certificates respectively, you can add private CA certificates via the --cacert option. By default, these certificates will be used in addition to the default truststore:

bru run folder --cacert myCustomCA.pem

If you need to limit the trusted CA to a specified set when validating the request peer, provide them via --cacert and in addition use --ignore-truststore to disable the default truststore:

bru run request.bru --cacert myCustomCA.pem --ignore-truststore
