  • feat(env): store variable group secrets as links to access keys
  • feat(env): resolve variable group secrets through their links
  • feat(env): refuse deleting keys and groups that other groups still use
  • feat(ui): link a variable group secret to a Key Store key
  • feat(env): carry secret links through backups, API spec and docs

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Variable Groups can use their own secret values or link to eligible string keys from the Key Store.
    • The editor displays linked secrets and lets you select a Key Store key. Key references show which Variable Groups use them.
    • Project backups preserve secret links and restore them with the corresponding keys, without including secret values.
    • Existing Variable Group secrets remain available as linked secrets.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Deleting a Variable Group is prevented when its owned keys are linked elsewhere.
    • Attempts to delete keys in use now identify other resources as references.

Add project__environment_secret: one row per group secret pointing at a
string access key. A secret created with a value still gets its own key
(owner variable/environment, environment_id = group) plus a link; a
secret created with key_id links an existing key of the project only.
Migration 2.20.18 copies every legacy group key into the new table.

EnvironmentService.ApplySecrets owns the create/update/delete logic;
the controller only forwards the request. Overwriting a linked key from
a group form is refused, an owned key is dropped with its last link.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
FillEnvironmentSecrets reads project__environment_secret joined with the
keys: without values it reports key_id, key_name and owned for the form;
with values it decrypts each key once and fails loudly when a linked key
is no longer a string key. The secret storage sync and the Dredd hook
create the links together with the keys.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Key refs list the variable groups linked to a key, so the Key Store shows
them in the in-use dialog instead of a bare error. Deleting a group whose
own key is linked from another group is refused with that group's name:
the cascade would otherwise stop at the foreign key half-way through.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Secrets tab gets a value/key switch per row: a new secret holds a
value or points at a shared string key of the Key Store; a linked row
shows the key name and cannot take a value, an owned row can be switched
to a key. Both tables render from one section list; removing a row works
by identity, so two fresh unnamed rows no longer vanish together.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Backups export a group's secrets as links by key name and the owner
group of an owned key, and restore re-creates the links after the keys.
A group delete removes its own keys explicitly: MySQL ignores the inline
cascade on access_key.environment_id. The API spec documents key_id,
key_name and owned; the user guide gets a section on linking a secret
to a Key Store key (docs submodule, all locales).

Walkthrough

Variable Group secrets now link to string Access Keys through database records. The change adds service-level operations, API and form support, a legacy-data migration, linked-key resolution, deletion safeguards, and project backup and restore handling.

Changes: Variable Group Secret Links

Layer / File(s) Summary
Secret-link storage and migration
db/Environment.go, db/Store.go, db/sql/environment_secret.go, db/sql/migrations/*, db/sql/migration_2_20_18.go, db/sql/*_test.go, api-docs.yml, AGENTS/work/secrets-and-task-vars/*, AGENTS/memory/MEMORY.md, docs
Adds the secret-link model and SQL operations. Migration 2.20.18 links eligible legacy environment and variable keys to secret records. API documentation and work notes describe the link model and request fields.
Secret operations and editor
services/server/environment_svc.go, services/server/environment_svc_secrets_test.go, api/projects/environment.go, api/projects/environment_test.go, api/router.go, cli/cmd/root.go, web/src/components/EnvironmentForm.vue, web/src/lang/en.js, .dredd/hooks/capabilities.go, .dredd/hooks/helpers.go, api/projects/keys.go, api/projects/resources_audit_test.go, .gitmodules, AGENTS/tmp/*
EnvironmentService.ApplySecrets handles creating, updating, and deleting links and owned keys. The API delegates secret processing to the service. The form supports direct values and Key Store links. Dredd setup and request-body handling support linked secrets.
Secret resolution and reference safeguards
services/server/access_key_encryption_svc.go, services/server/access_key_encryption_svc_test.go, services/server/environment_svc.go, services/server/environment_svc_test.go, services/server/secret_storage_svc.go, pro/services/server/secret_storage_svc.go, db/sql/access_key.go, web/src/components/ItemListPageBase.js, web/src/components/ObjectRefsView.vue
Secret resolution reads linked records and decrypts string keys when requested. Environment deletion checks references to owned keys. Access-key reference displays include Variable Groups.
Backup and restore links
services/project/types.go, services/project/backup.go, services/project/restore.go, services/project/backup_test.go
Backups store secret links by key name. Restore validates the links, restores environment ownership on keys, and creates the links after restoring keys.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to fa059

The Dredd API test setup can send invalid variable-group secret requests, which would fail the API contract tests. Earlier open concerns about backup restore with duplicate group names, test configuration leakage, and project deletion with linked secrets on MySQL should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Review comments at @db/sql/environment_secret.go:
- Around line 119-125: Update the update flow after RowsAffected returns zero to
check whether the environment secret still exists before returning
db.ErrNotFound; return the lookup result so unchanged updates succeed while
genuinely missing secrets remain not found.

Review comments at @db/sql/migrations/v2.20.18.sql:
- Line 18: Update DeleteProject to delete project__environment_secret rows for
the project before deleting its access_key rows, so the key_id foreign-key
references are removed first.

Review comments at @docs:
- Line 1: Update the docs gitlink to reference a commit reachable from the
configured semaphoreui/semaphore-docs remote, or make the intended commit
available there. Confirm the API specification and user guide include key_id,
key_name, and owned.

Review comments at @services/project/backup_test.go:
- Line 818: In the test containing the util.Config assignment, preserve the
previous package-level value and register its restoration with t.Cleanup so
later tests see the original configuration.

Review comments at @services/project/restore.go:
- Line 72: Update BackupEnvironment.Verify to reject a variable group name as
soon as it appears more than once in backup.Environments. Use a check specific
to variable groups rather than changing the shared verifyDuplicate helper,
preserving its behavior for other backup entity types.

Review comments at @web/src/components/ObjectRefsView.vue:
- Around line 83-87: Mark the `environments` section in `ObjectRefsView` as
pageless so its Variable Groups links target the declared list route without
appending an environment ID.

Delete secret links before project access keys.

When a project has linked secrets, DeleteProject deletes its access_key rows before it deletes the project. The key_id foreign key can block that deletion on MySQL because the secret links still reference those keys.

Dredd automatically generates expectations on HTTP responses based on examples in the API description with use of the `Gavel`_ library. Please refer to Gavel&#39;s rules if you want know more.

### Response Headers Expectations

  * All headers specified in the API description must be present in the response.
  * Names of headers are validated in the case-insensitive way.
  * Only values of headers significant for content negotiation are validated.
  * All other headers values can differ.

When using `OpenAPI 2`_, headers are taken from `response.headers` (:openapi2:`responseheaders`). HTTP headers significant for content negotiation are inferred according to following rules:

  * `produces` (:openapi2:`swaggerproduces`) is propagated as response’s `Content-Type` header.
  * Response’s `Content-Type` header overrides any `produces`.

### Response Body Expectations

If the HTTP response body is JSON, Dredd validates only its structure. Bodies in any other format are validated as plain text.

To validate the structure Dredd uses `JSON Schema`_ inferred from the API description under test. The effective JSON Schema is taken from following places (the order goes from the highest priority to the lowest):

#### API Blueprint

  1. :apib:`Schema &lt;def-schema-section&gt;` section - provided custom JSON Schema (`Draft 4 &lt;JSON Schema Draft 4_&gt;`__, `Draft 6 &lt;JSON Schema Draft 6_&gt;`__, and `Draft 7 &lt;JSON Schema Draft 7_&gt;`__) will be used.
  2. :apib:`Attributes &lt;def-attributes-section&gt;` section with data structure description in `MSON`_ - API Blueprint parser automatically generates JSON Schema from MSON.
  3. :apib:`Body &lt;def-body-section&gt;` section with sample JSON payload - `Gavel`_, which is responsible for validation in Dredd, automatically infers some basic expectations described below.

This order :apib:`exactly follows the API Blueprint specification &lt;relation-of-body-schema-and-attributes-sections&gt;`.

#### OpenAPI 2

  1. `response.schema` (:openapi2:`responseschema`) - provided JSON Schema will be used.
  2. `response.examples` (:openapi2:`responseexamples`) with sample JSON payload - `Gavel`_, which is responsible for validation in Dredd, automatically infers some basic expectations described below.

#### Gavel’s Expectations

  * All JSON keys on any level given in the sample must be present in the response’s JSON.
  * Response’s JSON values must be of the same JSON primitive type.
  * All JSON values can differ.
  * Arrays can have additional items, type or structure of the items is not validated.
  * Plain text must match perfectly.

### Custom Expectations

You can make your own custom expectations in :ref:`hooks &lt;hooks&gt;`. For instance, check out how to employ :ref:`Chai.js assertions &lt;using-chai-assertions&gt;`.

## Choosing HTTP Transactions

### API Blueprint

While `API Blueprint`_ allows specifying multiple requests and responses in any combination (see specification for the :apib:`action section &lt;def-action-section&gt;`), Dredd currently supports just separated HTTP transaction pairs like this:
    
    + Request
    + Response
    
    + Request
    + Response
    

In other words, Dredd always selects just the first response for each request.

Note

Improving the support for multiple requests and responses is under development. Refer to issues :ghissue:`#25` and :ghissue:`#78` for details. Support for URI parameters specific to a single request within one action is also limited. Solving :ghissue:`#227` should unblock many related problems. Also see :ref:`multiple-requests-and-responses` guide for workarounds.

### OpenAPI 2

The `OpenAPI 2`_ format allows to specify multiple responses for a single operation. By default Dredd tests only responses with `2xx` status codes. Responses with other codes are marked as skipped and can be activated in :ref:`hooks &lt;hooks&gt;` - see the :ref:`multiple-requests-and-responses` how-to guide.

In `produces` (:openapi2:`swaggerproduces`) and `consumes` (:openapi2:`swaggerconsumes`), only JSON media types are supported. Only the first JSON media type in `produces` is effective, others are skipped. Other media types are respected only when provided with :openapi2:`explicit examples &lt;responseexamples&gt;`.

:openapi2:`Default response &lt;responsesdefault&gt;` is ignored by Dredd unless it is the only available response. In that case, the default response is assumed to have HTTP 200 status code.

## Security

Depending on what you test and how, output of Dredd may contain sensitive data.

Mind that if you run Dredd in a CI server provided as a service (such as `CircleCI`_, `Travis CI`_, etc.), you are disclosing the CLI output of Dredd to third parties.

When using :ref:`Apiary Reporter and Apiary Tests &lt;using-apiary-reporter-and-apiary-tests&gt;`, you are sending your testing data to `Apiary`_ (Dredd creators and maintainers). See their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Which data exactly is being sent to Apiary?

  * Complete API description under test. This means your API Blueprint or OpenAPI 2 files. The API description is stored encrypted in Apiary.
  * Complete testing results. Those can contain details of all requests made to the server under test and their responses. Apiary stores this data unencrypted, even if the original communication between Dredd and the API server under test happens to be over HTTPS. See :ref:`Apiary Reporter Test Data &lt;apiary-reporter-test-data&gt;` for detailed description of what is sent. You can :ref:`sanitize it before it gets sent &lt;removing-sensitive-data-from-test-reports&gt;`.
  * Little meta data about your environment. Contents of environment variables `TRAVIS`, `CIRCLE`, `CI`, `DRONE`, `BUILD_ID`, `DREDD_AGENT`, `USER`, and `DREDD_HOSTNAME` can be sent to Apiary. Your hostname, version of your Dredd installation, and type, release and architecture of your OS can be sent as well. Apiary stores this data unencrypted.

See also :ref:`guidelines on how to develop Apiary Reporter &lt;hacking-apiary-reporter&gt;`.

<excerpt>citeturn1search0 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: 2 weeks ago; If it’s not present, Dredd’s OpenAPI 2 adapter generates sample values from the JSON Schema provided in the `schema` (:openapi2:`parameterschema`) property. ... In case of responses with 204 or 205 status codes Dredd still behaves the same way, but it warns about violating the RFC 7231 when the responses have non-empty bodies.

Note

The implementation of API Blueprint’s request-specific parameters is still in progress and there’s only experimental support for it in Dredd as of now.

### Request Headers

In `OpenAPI 2`_ documents, HTTP headers are inferred from `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;header&quot;` parameters (:openapi2:`parameterobject`). HTTP headers significant for content negotiation are inferred according to following rules:

  * `consumes` (:openapi2:`swaggerconsumes`) is propagated as request’s `Content-Type` header.
  * `produces` (:openapi2:`swaggerproduces`) is propagated as request’s `Accept` header.
  * If request body parameters are specified as `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;formData&quot;`, request’s `Content-Type` header is set to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.

### Request Body

#### API Blueprint

The effective request body is taken from following places (the order goes from the highest priority to the lowest):

  1. :apib:`Body &lt;def-body-section&gt;` section with sample JSON payload.
  2. :apib:`Attributes &lt;def-attributes-section&gt;` section with data structure description in `MSON`_ - API Blueprint parser automatically generates sample JSON payload from MSON.

This order :apib:`exactly follows the API Blueprint specification &lt;relation-of-body-schema-and-attributes-sections&gt;`.

#### OpenAPI 2

The effective request body is inferred from `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;body&quot;` and `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;formData&quot;` parameters (:openapi2:`parameterobject`).

If body parameter has `schema.example` (:openapi2:`schemaexample`), it is used as a raw JSON sample for the request body. If it’s not present, Dredd’s OpenAPI 2 adapter generates sample values from the JSON Schema provided in the `schema` (:openapi2:`parameterschema`) property. Following rules apply when the adapter fills values of the properties, ordered by precedence:

  1. Value of `default`.
  2. First value from `enum`.
  3. Dummy, generated value.

### Empty Response Body

If there is no body example or schema specified for the response in your API description document, Dredd won’t imply any assertions. Any server response will be considered as valid.

If you want to enforce the incoming body is empty, you can use :ref:`hooks &lt;hooks&gt;`:
    
    .. literalinclude:: ../packages/dredd/test/fixtures/response/empty-body-hooks.js
       :language: javascript
    
    

In case of responses with 204 or 205 status codes Dredd still behaves the same way, but it warns about violating the RFC 7231 when the responses have non-empty bodies.

## Automatic Expectations

Dredd automatically generates expectations on HTTP responses based on examples in the API description with use of the Gavel library. Please refer to Gavel’s rules if you want know more.

### Response Headers Expectations

  * All headers specified in the API description must be present in the response.

  * Names of headers are validated in the case-insensitive way.

  * Only values of headers significant for content negotiation are validated.

  * All other headers values can differ.

When using OpenAPI 2, headers are taken from `response.headers` (spec). HTTP headers significant for content negotiation are inferred according to following rules:

  * `produces` (spec) is propagated as response’s `Content-Type` header.

  * Response’s `Content-Type` header overrides any `produces`.

### Response Body Expectations

If the HTTP response body is JSON, Dredd validates only its structure. Bodies in any other format are validated as plain text.

To validate the structure Dredd uses JSON Schema inferred from the API description under test. The effective JSON Schema is taken from following places (the order goes from the highest priority to the lowest):

#### API Blueprint

  1. Schema section - provided custom JSON Schema (Draft 4, Draft 6, and Draft 7) will be used.

  2. Attributes section with data structure description in MSON - API Blueprint parser automatically generates JSON Schema from MSON.

  3. Body section with sample JSON payload - Gavel, which is responsible for validation in Dredd, automatically infers some basic expectations described below.

This order exactly follows the API Blueprint specification.

#### OpenAPI 2

  1. `response.schema` (spec) - provided JSON Schema will be used.

  2. `response.examples` (spec) with sample JSON payload - Gavel, which is responsible for validation in Dredd, automatically infers some basic expectations described below.

#### Gavel’s Expectations

  * All JSON keys on any level given in the sample must be present in the response’s JSON.

  * Response’s JSON values must be of the same JSON primitive type.

  * All JSON values can differ.

  * Arrays can have additional items, type or structure of the items is not validated.

  * Plain text must match perfectly.

### Custom Expectations

You can make your own custom expectations in hooks. For instance, check out how to employ Chai.js assertions.

## Making Your API Description Ready for Testing

It’s very likely that your API description document will not be testable as is. This section should help you to learn how to solve the most common issues.

### URI Parameters

Both API Blueprint and OpenAPI 2 allow usage of URI templates (API Blueprint fully implements RFC 6570, OpenAPI 2 templates are much simpler). In order to have an API description which is testable, you need to describe all required parameters used in URI (path or query) and provide sample values to make Dredd able to expand URI templates with given sample values. Following rules apply when Dredd interpolates variables in a templated URI, ordered by precedence:

  1. Sample value, in OpenAPI 2 available as the `x-example` vendor extension property (docs).

  2. Value of `default`.

  3. First value from `enum`.

If Dredd isn’t able to infer any value for a required parameter, it will terminate the test run and complain that the parameter is ambiguous.

Note

The implementation of API Blueprint’s request-specific parameters is still in progress and there’s only experimental support for it in Dredd as of now.

### Request Headers

In OpenAPI 2 documents, HTTP headers are inferred from `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;header&quot;` parameters (spec). HTTP headers significant for content negotiation are inferred according to following rules:

  * `consumes` (spec) is propagated as request’s `Content-Type` header.

  * `produces` (spec) is propagated as request’s `Accept` header.

  * If request body parameters are specified as `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;formData&quot;`, request’s `Content-Type` header is set to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.

### Request Body

#### API Blueprint

The effective request body is taken from following places (the order goes from the highest priority to the lowest):

  1. Body section with sample JSON payload.

  2. Attributes section with data structure description in MSON - API Blueprint parser automatically generates sample JSON payload from MSON.

This order exactly follows the API Blueprint specification.

#### OpenAPI 2

The effective request body is inferred from `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;body&quot;` and `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;formData&quot;` parameters (spec).

If body parameter has `schema.example` (spec), it is used as a raw JSON sample for the request body. If it’s not present, Dredd’s OpenAPI 2 adapter generates sample values from the JSON Schema provided in the `schema` (spec) property. Following rules apply when the adapter fills values of the properties, ordered by precedence:

  1. Value of `default`.

  2. First value from `enum`.

  3. Dummy, generated value.

### Empty Response Body

If there is no body example or schema specified for the response in your API description document, Dredd won’t imply any assertions. Any server response will be considered as valid.

If you want to enforce the incoming body is empty, you can use hooks:
    
    const hooks = require(&#39;hooks&#39;);
    
    hooks.beforeEachValidation((transaction, done) =&gt; {
      if (transaction.real.body) {
        transaction.fail = &#39;The response body must be empty&#39;;
      }
      done();
    });
    

In case of responses with 204 or 205 status codes Dredd still behaves the same way, but it warns about violating the RFC 7231 when the responses have non-empty bodies.

    $ dredd api-description.yml http://127.0.0.1:3000

# Quickstart

In following tutorial you can quickly learn how to test a simple HTTP API application with Dredd. The tested application will be very simple backend written in Express.js.

## Install Dredd
    
    $ npm install -g dredd
    

If you’re not familiar with the Node.js ecosystem or you bump into any issues, follow the installation guide.

## Document Your API

First, let’s design the API we are about to build and test. That means you will need to create an API description file, which will document how your API should look like. Dredd supports two formats of API description documents:

  * API Blueprint

  * OpenAPI 2 (formerly known as Swagger)

If you choose API Blueprint, create a file called `api-description.apib` in the root of your project and save it with following content:
    
    FORMAT: 1A
    
    # GET /
    + Response 200 (application/json; charset=utf-8)
    
          {&quot;message&quot;: &quot;Hello World!&quot;}
    

If you choose OpenAPI 2, create a file called `api-description.yml`:
    
    swagger: &#39;2.0&#39;
    info:
      version: &#39;1.0&#39;
      title: Example API
      license:
        name: MIT
    host: www.example.com
    basePath: /
    schemes:
      - http
    paths:
      /:
        get:
          produces:
            - application/json; charset=utf-8
          responses:
            &#39;200&#39;:
              description: &#39;&#39;
              schema:
                type: object
                properties:
                  message:
                    type: string
                required:
                  - message
    

## Implement Your API

As we mentioned in the beginning, we’ll use Express.js to implement the API. Install the framework by `npm`:
    
    $ npm init
    $ npm install express --save
    

Now let’s code the thing! Create a file called `app.js` with following contents:
    
    var app = require(&#39;express&#39;)();
    
    app.get(&#39;/&#39;, function(req, res) {
      res.json({message: &#39;Hello World!&#39;});
    })
    
    app.listen(3000);

## Test Your API

At this moment, the implementation is ready to be tested. Let’s run the server as a background process and let’s test it:
    
    $ node app.js &amp;
    

Finally, let Dredd validate whether your freshly implemented API complies with the description you have:

[Button: API Blueprint][Button: OpenAPI 2]
    
    $ dredd api-description.apib http://127.0.0.1:3000
    
    
    $ dredd api-description.yml http://127.0.0.1:3000
    

## Configure Dredd

Dredd can be configured by many CLI options. It’s recommended to save your Dredd configuration alongside your project, so it’s easier to repeatedly execute always the same test run. Use interactive configuration wizard to create `dredd.yml` file in the root of your project:
    
    $ dredd init
    ? Location of the API description document: api-description.apib
    ? Command to start API backend server e.g. (bundle exec rails server)
    ? URL of tested API endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3000
    ? Programming language of hooks:
    ❯ nodejs
      python
      ruby
      ...
    ? Dredd is best served with Continuous Integration. Create CircleCI config for Dredd? Yes
    

Now you can start test run just by typing `dredd`!
    
    $ dredd
    

## Use Hooks

Dredd’s hooks enable you to write some glue code in your favorite language to support enhanced scenarios in your API tests. Read the documentation about hooks to learn more on how to write them. Choose your language and install corresponding hooks handler library.

## Advanced Examples

For more complex example applications, please refer to:

  * Laravel

  * Laravel &amp; OpenAPI 3

  * Ruby on Rails</excerpt>

# How It Works

In a nutshell, Dredd does following:

  1. Takes your API description document,
  2. creates expectations based on requests and responses documented in the document,
  3. makes requests to tested API,
  4. checks whether API responses match the documented responses,
  5. reports the results.

## Versioning

Dredd follows Semantic Versioning. To ensure certain stability of your Dredd installation (e.g. in CI), pin the version accordingly. You can also use release tags:

  * `npm install dredd` - Installs the latest published version including experimental pre-release versions.
  * `npm install dredd@stable` - Skips experimental pre-release versions. Recommended for CI installations.

If the `User-Agent` header isn’t overridden in the API description document, Dredd uses it for sending information about its version number along with every HTTP request it does.
## Automatic Expectations

Dredd automatically generates expectations on HTTP responses based on examples in the API description with use of the `Gavel`_ library. Please refer to Gavel&#39;s rules if you want know more.

### Response Headers Expectations

  * All headers specified in the API description must be present in the response.
  * Names of headers are validated in the case-insensitive way.
  * Only values of headers significant for content negotiation are validated.
  * All other headers values can differ.

When using `OpenAPI 2`_, headers are taken from `response.headers` (:openapi2:`responseheaders`). HTTP headers significant for content negotiation are inferred according to following rules:

  * `produces` (:openapi2:`swaggerproduces`) is propagated as response’s `Content-Type` header.
  * Response’s `Content-Type` header overrides any `produces`.

### Response Body Expectations

If the HTTP response body is JSON, Dredd validates only its structure. Bodies in any other format are validated as plain text.

To validate the structure Dredd uses `JSON Schema`_ inferred from the API description under test. The effective JSON Schema is taken from following places (the order goes from the highest priority to the lowest):

#### API Blueprint

  1. :apib:`Schema &lt;def-schema-section&gt;` section - provided custom JSON Schema (`Draft 4 &lt;JSON Schema Draft 4_&gt;`__, `Draft 6 &lt;JSON Schema Draft 6_&gt;`__, and `Draft 7 &lt;JSON Schema Draft 7_&gt;`__) will be used.
  2. :apib:`Attributes &lt;def-attributes-section&gt;` section with data structure description in `MSON`_ - API Blueprint parser automatically generates JSON Schema from MSON.
  3. :apib:`Body &lt;def-body-section&gt;` section with sample JSON payload - `Gavel`_, which is responsible for validation in Dredd, automatically infers some basic expectations described below.

This order :apib:`exactly follows the API Blueprint specification &lt;relation-of-body-schema-and-attributes-sections&gt;`.

#### OpenAPI 2

  1. `response.schema` (:openapi2:`responseschema`) - provided JSON Schema will be used.
  2. `response.examples` (:openapi2:`responseexamples`) with sample JSON payload - `Gavel`_, which is responsible for validation in Dredd, automatically infers some basic expectations described below.

#### Gavel’s Expectations

  * All JSON keys on any level given in the sample must be present in the response’s JSON.
  * Response’s JSON values must be of the same JSON primitive type.
  * All JSON values can differ.
  * Arrays can have additional items, type or structure of the items is not validated.
  * Plain text must match perfectly.

### Custom Expectations

You can make your own custom expectations in :ref:`hooks &lt;hooks&gt;`. For instance, check out how to employ :ref:`Chai.js assertions &lt;using-chai-assertions&gt;`.

## Making Your API Description Ready for Testing

It’s very likely that your API description document will not be testable as is. This section should help you to learn how to solve the most common issues.

Both `API Blueprint`_ and `OpenAPI 2`_ allow usage of URI templates (API Blueprint fully implements RFC 6570, OpenAPI 2 templates are much simpler). In order to have an API description which is testable, you need to describe all required parameters used in URI (path or query) and provide sample values to make Dredd able to expand URI templates with given sample values. Following rules apply when Dredd interpolates variables in a templated URI, ordered by precedence:

  1. Sample value, in OpenAPI 2 available as the `x-example` vendor extension property (:ref:`docs &lt;example-values-for-request-parameters&gt;`).
  2. Value of `default`.
  3. First value from `enum`.

If Dredd isn’t able to infer any value for a required parameter, it will terminate the test run and complain that the parameter is ambiguous.

Note

The implementation of API Blueprint’s request-specific parameters is still in progress and there’s only experimental support for it in Dredd as of now.

### Request Headers

In `OpenAPI 2`_ documents, HTTP headers are inferred from `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;header&quot;` parameters (:openapi2:`parameterobject`). HTTP headers significant for content negotiation are inferred according to following rules:

  * `consumes` (:openapi2:`swaggerconsumes`) is propagated as request’s `Content-Type` header.
  * `produces` (:openapi2:`swaggerproduces`) is propagated as request’s `Accept` header.
  * If request body parameters are specified as `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;formData&quot;`, request’s `Content-Type` header is set to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.

### Request Body

#### API Blueprint

The effective request body is taken from following places (the order goes from the highest priority to the lowest):

  1. :apib:`Body &lt;def-body-section&gt;` section with sample JSON payload.
  2. :apib:`Attributes &lt;def-attributes-section&gt;` section with data structure description in `MSON`_ - API Blueprint parser automatically generates sample JSON payload from MSON.

This order :apib:`exactly follows the API Blueprint specification &lt;relation-of-body-schema-and-attributes-sections&gt;`.

#### OpenAPI 2

The effective request body is inferred from `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;body&quot;` and `&quot;in&quot;: &quot;formData&quot;` parameters (:openapi2:`parameterobject`).

If body parameter has `schema.example` (:openapi2:`schemaexample`), it is used as a raw JSON sample for the request body. If it’s not present, Dredd’s OpenAPI 2 adapter generates sample values from the JSON Schema provided in the `schema` (:openapi2:`parameterschema`) property. Following rules apply when the adapter fills values of the properties, ordered by precedence:

  1. Value of `default`.
  2. First value from `enum`.
  3. Dummy, generated value.

### Empty Response Body

If there is no body example or schema specified for the response in your API description document, Dredd won’t imply any assertions. Any server response will be considered as valid.

If you want to enforce the incoming body is empty, you can use :ref:`hooks &lt;hooks&gt;`:
    
    .. literalinclude:: ../packages/dredd/test/fixtures/response/empty-body-hooks.js
       :language: javascript
    
    

In case of responses with 204 or 205 status codes Dredd still behaves the same way, but it warns about violating the RFC 7231 when the responses have non-empty bodies.

## Choosing HTTP Transactions

### API Blueprint

While `API Blueprint`_ allows specifying multiple requests and responses in any combination (see specification for the :apib:`action section &lt;def-action-section&gt;`), Dredd currently supports just separated HTTP transaction pairs like this:
    
    + Request
    + Response
    
    + Request
    + Response
    

In other words, Dredd always selects just the first response for each request.

Note

Improving the support for multiple requests and responses is under development. Refer to issues :ghissue:`#25` and :ghissue:`#78` for details. Support for URI parameters specific to a single request within one action is also limited. Solving :ghissue:`#227` should unblock many related problems. Also see :ref:`multiple-requests-and-responses` guide for workarounds.

### OpenAPI 2

The `OpenAPI 2`_ format allows to specify multiple responses for a single operation. By default Dredd tests only responses with `2xx` status codes. Responses with other codes are marked as skipped and can be activated in :ref:`hooks &lt;hooks&gt;` - see the :ref:`multiple-requests-and-responses` how-to guide.

In `produces` (:openapi2:`swaggerproduces`) and `consumes` (:openapi2:`swaggerconsumes`), only JSON media types are supported. Only the first JSON media type in `produces` is effective, others are skipped. Other media types are respected only when provided with :openapi2:`explicit examples &lt;responseexamples&gt;`.

:openapi2:`Default response &lt;responsesdefault&gt;` is ignored by Dredd unless it is the only available response. In that case, the default response is assumed to have HTTP 200 status code.

## Security

Depending on what you test and how, output of Dredd may contain sensitive data.

Mind that if you run Dredd in a CI server provided as a service (such as `CircleCI`_, `Travis CI`_, etc.), you are disclosing the CLI output of Dredd to third parties.

When using :ref:`Apiary Reporter and Apiary Tests &lt;using-apiary-reporter-and-apiary-tests&gt;`, you are sending your testing data to `Apiary`_ (Dredd creators and maintainers). See their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Which data exactly is being sent to Apiary?

  * Complete API description under test. This means your API Blueprint or OpenAPI 2 files. The API description is stored encrypted in Apiary.
  * Complete testing results. Those can contain details of all requests made to the server under test and their responses. Apiary stores this data unencrypted, even if the original communication between Dredd and the API server under test happens to be over HTTPS. See :ref:`Apiary Reporter Test Data &lt;apiary-reporter-test-data&gt;` for detailed description of what is sent. You can :ref:`sanitize it before it gets sent &lt;removing-sensitive-data-from-test-reports&gt;`.
  * Little meta data about your environment. Contents of environment variables `TRAVIS`, `CIRCLE`, `CI`, `DRONE`, `BUILD_ID`, `DREDD_AGENT`, `USER`, and `DREDD_HOSTNAME` can be sent to Apiary. Your hostname, version of your Dredd installation, and type, release and architecture of your OS can be sent as well. Apiary stores this data unencrypted.

#### Describe your problem

Examples from swagger schema definitions are ignored when generating requests. Given the swagger definition provided below, I would expect the `email` field to have a value of `test@example.com`. Instead, I see the following output:
    
    `request: 
    method: POST
    uri: /api/test
    headers: 
        Content-Type: application/json
        User-Agent: Dredd/5.1.11 (Linux 4.9.93-linuxkit-aufs; x64)
        Accept:  application/json
        Content-Length: 63
    
    body: 
    {
      &quot;id&quot;: 58730817,
      &quot;email&quot;: &quot;proident sunt ipsum occaecat&quot;
    }
    `

#### What command line options do you use?
    
    `dredd --config=/www/tests/dredd/config.yml
    `

#### What is in your `dredd.yml`?
    
    blueprint: &quot;http://127.0.0.1/apidoc.json&quot;
    endpoint: &quot;http://127.0.0.1&quot;
    path: []
    color: true
    header: [&quot;Accept: application/json&quot;]

#### What&#39;s your `dredd --version` output?
    
    `dredd v5.1.11 (Linux 4.9.93-linuxkit-aufs; x64)
    `

@skyellin I don&#39;t think this way of providing examples is supported in Swagger/OpenAPI 2.0. You can provide examples for request parameters using x-example. You can provide examples for response bodies using the example object.

@honzajavorek I could well be mis-reading, but this seems to suggest that they are supported: https://swagger.io/docs/specification/2-0/adding-examples/

See &quot;property examples&quot;

@skyellin You are right. Let me verify the Swagger adapter supports that.

# How It Works

In a nutshell, Dredd does following:

  1. Takes your API description document,
  2. creates expectations based on requests and responses documented in the document,
  3. makes requests to tested API,
  4. checks whether API responses match the documented responses,
  5. reports the results.

## Versioning

Dredd follows Semantic Versioning. To ensure certain stability of your Dredd installation (e.g. in CI), pin the version accordingly. You can also use release tags:

  * `npm install dredd` - Installs the latest published version including experimental pre-release versions.
  * `npm install dredd@stable` - Skips experimental pre-release versions. Recommended for CI installations.

If the `User-Agent` header isn’t overridden in the API description document, Dredd uses it for sending information about its version number along with every HTTP request it does.
## Automatic Expectations

Dredd automatically generates expectations on HTTP responses based on examples in the API description with use of the `Gavel`_ library. Please refer to Gavel&#39;s rules if you want know more.

### Response Headers Expectations

  * All headers specified in the API description must be present in the response.
  * Names of headers are validated in the case-insensitive way.
  * Only values of headers significant for content negotiation are validated.
  * All other headers values can differ.

When using `OpenAPI 2`_, headers are taken from `response.headers` (:openapi2:`responseheaders`). HTTP headers significant for content negotiation are inferred according to following rules:

  * `produces` (:openapi2:`swaggerproduces`) is propagated as response’s `Content-Type` header.
  * Response’s `Content-Type` header overrides any `produces`.

### Response Body Expectations

If the HTTP response body is JSON, Dredd validates only its structure. Bodies in any other format are validated as plain text.
Which data exactly is being sent to Apiary?

  * Complete API description under test. This means your API Blueprint or OpenAPI 2 files. The API description is stored encrypted in Apiary.
  * Complete testing results. Those can contain details of all requests made to the server under test and their responses. Apiary stores this data unencrypted, even if the original communication between Dredd and the API server under test happens to be over HTTPS. See :ref:`Apiary Reporter Test Data &lt;apiary-reporter-test-data&gt;` for detailed description of what is sent. You can :ref:`sanitize it before it gets sent &lt;removing-sensitive-data-from-test-reports&gt;`.
  * Little meta data about your environment. Contents of environment variables `TRAVIS`, `CIRCLE`, `CI`, `DRONE`, `BUILD_ID`, `DREDD_AGENT`, `USER`, and `DREDD_HOSTNAME` can be sent to Apiary. Your hostname, version of your Dredd installation, and type, release and architecture of your OS can be sent as well. Apiary stores this data unencrypted.

Normalize generated create secrets that contain both fields.

Dredd generates dummy request values when the schema has no example, default, or enum. This schema provides none for key_id or secret. A generated positive key_id therefore skips the current normalization while the generated secret remains present. The API rejects both fields together.

Review comment at @.dredd/hooks/capabilities.go around lines 418 - 419:
Update the `key_id` guard in the create-secret normalization logic so generated
values are processed when both a numeric `key_id` and a nonempty `secret` are
present, regardless of whether `key_id` is positive. Normalize the request to
avoid sending both fields together.
