Who can use this?
This module is intended to help in testing any application that has Cassandra interactions. It gives you an intuitive way of applying changed to Cassandra and validating data in Cassandra in cucumber steps.
Pre Requisites
JDK8/JDK7
Getting Started
Lets say you want to test an application with Cassandra interaction as a black box.
Create the project you want to use for testing. This will host all you feature files. Add the below dependancy similar to – SampleCukeDBTest :
compile('org.cukesalad:CukeCassandraSalad:1.0.0')
Create a Cassandra connection details file – “cassandrasalad.properties” with below details:
cassandra.contactpoints=localhost
cassandra.port=9142
cassandra.keyspace=cassandra_unit_keyspace
cassandra.pwd.env=N
cassandra.ssl.env=N
cassandra.username=testuser
cassandra.protocol=1
cassandra.ssl.enabled=false
Create feature files inside your project under src/main/resources/feature Run the below commands for linux/mac:
> cd <git project root>
> sh gradlew clean build
> unzip build/distributions/<your project name>-1.0.0.zip -d build/distributions/
> sh build/distributions/<your project name>-1.0.0/bin/<your project name> org.cukesalad.cssndra.runner.Runner
Sample feature file:
Feature: A feature to demonstrate Cassandra cucumber util to setup/teardown/validate data in Cassandra
Scenario: testing setup/teardown/validate data in Cassandra
Given I set up data in cassandra using "insertUser.cql"
And I teardown data in cassandra using "deleteUser.cql"
Given I set up data in cassandra using "insertUser.cql" and below parameters:
| key | value |
| userid | 1 |
And I teardown data in cassandra using "deleteUser.cql" and below parameters:
| key | value |
| userid | 1 |
Given I set up data in cassandra using "insertUser.cql", and rollback test data using "deleteUser.cql" at the end of test case
Given I set up data in cassandra using "insertUser.cql", and rollback test data at the end using "deleteUser.cql" with below parameters:
| key | value |
| userid | 1 |
Given I set up data using the cql file "insertUser.cql", for the below data:
| userid | fname | lname | email |
| 1 | Ned | Stark | ned@gmail.com |
| 2 | Tyrion | Lannister | tyrion@yahoo.com |
| 3 | Daenerys | Targeryan | daenerys@gmail.com |
Then the result of the cql "selectUser.cql", is:
| userid | fname | lname | email |
| 1 | Ned | Stark | ned@gmail.com |
| 2 | Tyrion | Lannister | tyrion@yahoo.com |
| 3 | Daenerys | Targeryan | daenerys@gmail.com |
And the result of the cql "selectUser.cql" is empty
And the result of the cql "selectUser.cql" has 1 rows
What if i have different DB instances/schemas for different environments?
Add files like cassandrasalad.dev.properties and pass a run time jvm arg like -Denv=dev. The Cassandra details ofcassandrasalad.dev.properties will override cassandrasalad.properties which is the default
