FluentQA Simple Capture

• zh-intro

For Some Reason,I want to try to capture API to generate tests, but don't want to spend too much time on this.

What I want:

• Use as less code as you can to capture API request to database for automation code generation.
• A simple UI to do the proxy setting and start capturing API Request.

Finally, after doing some research,I completed it in one day. Features:

1. cli to start mitmproxy and plugin
2. cli to reset proxy
3. ui to start mitmproxy,plugin and reset proxy

Commandline Features:

• Use mitmproxy to capture API request:

poetry run qacli capture start --name="scenario_name"

• Capture API Request Based on Configuration: configs/settings.toml

captured URL setting: all request to www.baidu.com and www.bing.com will save to database

mitm = { recorded_url = "https://www.baidu.com,https://www.bing.com" }

• all api request and response in database, table fields:

class ApiMonitorRecord(SQLModel, table=True):
    __tablename__ = "api_monitor_record"

    id: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, primary_key=True)
    app: Optional[str] = None
    service: Optional[str] = None
    api: Optional[str] = None
    path: Optional[str] = None
    request_url: Optional[str] = None
    method: Optional[str] = None
    request_headers: Optional[str] = None
    request_body: Optional[str] = None
    response_headers: Optional[str] = None
    status_code: int
    response_body: Optional[str] = None
    scenario_name: Optional[str] = None

• turn on/off proxy setting in MAC

 poetry run qacli mac-proxy --help
