YAML Runner
===========
If there is a running web service that needs to be tested and
creating a test loader with :meth:`~gabbi.driver.build_tests` is
either inconvenient or overkill it is possible to run YAML test
files directly from the command line with the console-script
``gabbi-run``. It accepts YAML on ``stdin``, generates and runs
tests and outputs a summary of the results.
The provided YAML may not use custom :doc:`fixtures` but otherwise
uses the default :doc:`format`. :doc:`host` information is either
expressed directly in the YAML file or provided on the command
line::
gabbi-run [host[:port]] < /my/test.yaml
or::
gabbi-run http://host:port < /my/test.yaml
To facilitate using the same tests against the same application mounted
in different locations in a WSGI server, a ``prefix`` may be provided
as a second argument::
gabbi-run host[:port] [prefix] < /my/test.yaml
or in the target URL::
gabbi-run http://host:port/prefix < /my/test.yaml
The value of prefix will be prepended to the path portion of URLs that
are not fully qualified.
Anywhere host is used, if it is a raw IPV6 address it should be
wrapped in ``[`` and ``]``.
If ``https`` is used in the target, then the tests in the provided
YAML will default to ``ssl: True``.
If a ``-x`` or ``--failfast`` argument is provided then ``gabbi-run`` will
exit after the first test failure.
