running same requests for n time?

[dibalikpohon]

Hi!

I am willing to have sequence of test scenarios like this:

1. Setup. Run multiple same POST requests with different payload. This request adds data to the table.
2. Run tests. The test can be anything, including adding and deleting data.
3. Teardown. Run multiple DELETE request with different path variables. This deletes all the data from the table.

I am okay with number 1 and number 2, but

I was thinking that I could capture id for each inside array like

GET http://localhost:8082/api/data

HTTP 200
[Captures]
ids: jsonpath "$.data[*].id"

so I can use it like this

DELETE http://localhost:8082/api/data/{{ids...}}

HTTP 200

This runs DELETE request for each ids in an array. Kind of like Spread operator in JavaScript.

I appreciate any discussion here. Thank you.

we are going to add the repeat option #88, to repeat the same request n times

to inject different variables for each request, we could use the index of the request in the loop/repeat

Implicitly

DELETE http://localhost:8082/api/data/{{ids nth repeat_index}}
[Options]
repeat: 5

HTTP 200

or explicitly

DELETE http://localhost:8082/api/data/{{id}}
[Options]
for: id in ids

HTTP 200

I think I would prefer the explicit version. It may be a bit weird to have that in the [Option] section.
for sure, we will implement the simple repeat option.

@dibalikpohon --repeat option has been implemented in Hurl 5.0.0, either by command line

$ hurl --repeat 2 a.hurl b.hurl

will run a.hurl b.hurl a.hurl b.hurl

Or on a specific request:

GET https://foo.com
HTTP 200

GET https://bar.com
[Options]
repeat: 10
HTTP 200
