Executions

In Satori, an execution happens when your test includes a specific element that triggers an action. Here, an "element" refers to any component of the test that initiates a command or process. For example:

yml
echo_stdout:
- echo 'Hello World'

Commands defined in your Playbook will be executed automatically within a shell environment. For clarity and to ensure proper execution, you can enclose commands in quotes.

yml
echo_file:
- "echo 'Hello World' > file"

Inputs in Executions

Inputs allow you to define parameters that can be used dynamically during the execution of your tests.

yml
salute:
- - "Hello"
  - "Bye"

echo_salute:
  assertStdoutEqual: "Hello World"
  run:
  - echo '${{salute}} World'

Example:

inputs on executions

In this example:

  • The output "Hello World" is expected for the input "Hello" and will result in a pass.
  • Other combinations of inputs, such as "Bye World", will not match "Hello World", leading to a fail. For more details on how assertions work, please refer to the asserts section.
