@ictu/testx-keywords-postgres

A library that extends testx with keywords for testing Postgres databases. @ictu/testx-keywords-postgres is a fork of @testx/keywords-postgres, maintained and used by ICTU (www.ictu.nl). This library is packaged as a npm package.

How does it work

From the directory of the art code install the package as follows:

npm install @ictu/testx-keywords-postgres --save

After installing the package you add these keywords to testx by adding the following line to your protractor config file:

testx.keywords.add(require('@ictu/testx-keywords-postgres'))

Example testx script:

- execute sql:
    sql: SELECT 1;
    expected result:
      - ?column?: 1
    save result to: saved
- execute sql:
    sql: SELECT 1;
    expected result: '{{saved}}'
- execute sql:
    sql: |-
      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test;
      CREATE TABLE test (first varchar(20), second integer);
      INSERT INTO test(first, second) VALUES ('test1', 12), ('test2', 34);
      SELECT * FROM test;
    expected result:
      - first: test1
        second: 12
      - first: test2
        second: 34
