Question about testing API's with https

[chartjes]

My apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.

I'm trying to test a site with endpoints that are behind https. I saw that you can override url_netloc but I don't see how you tell pyswagger to use https

@chartjes I would like to clarify the problem you describe:

• you are testing a external site
• the Swagger (OpenAPI) document provided by that site has both scheme defined:

schemes: ["http", "https"]

• you wants to test that site via "https"
  In this case, pyswagger would select the first items in that array (which is "http") and doesn't provide a way to pick another one, however, it can be refined to add a way to for users to provide preference.

If it's not what you want, could you describe your problem more precisely?

[chartjes]

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, you are describing what I want to do. So am I correct in thinking if I only put https in the schemes section that will work?

[mission-liao]

Yes, that should work. My personal usage is local testing a development server in http, not https. If there is any problem when using https, please feel free to report it.

And I would add a way to provide a preference on schemes, which would be included in next release.

I still feel like I am misunderstanding something. So here is my swagger file:

https://gist.github.com/chartjes/ffb6c9b34f242707f8acd819a7cb8950

And here is my code example taken from the docs:

from pyswagger import App
from pyswagger.contrib.client.requests import Client

# load Swagger resource file into SwaggerApp object
app = App.create('./swagger.json')
client = Client()
op = app.op['__heartbeat__']
opt = {'url_netloc': 'kinto.stage.mozaws.net'}
response = client.request(op, opt=opt)

I do have the requests library already installed
When I run that code I get an error:

(venv27) ~/m/s/kinto (master) $ python pyswagger-qs-01.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pyswagger-qs-01.py", line 10, in <module>
    response = client.request(op, opt=opt)
  File "/Users/chartjes/mozilla-services/services-test/kinto/venv27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyswagger/contrib/client/requests.py", line 32, in request
    req, resp = super(Client, self).request(req_and_resp, opt)
  File "/Users/chartjes/mozilla-services/services-test/kinto/venv27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyswagger/core.py", line 577, in request
    req, resp = req_and_resp
TypeError: 'Operation' object is not iterable

[mission-liao]

The Operation object is a 'callable' object in python, the parameter used to call it is exactly the parameter you described in Swagger Document. refer to here for a mapping from Swagger Parameter to the python primitives.

In your case, it should work when use it in this way:

response = client.request(op(), opt=opt)

[chartjes]

That did the trick. I'll close this and thank you for your help. FYI us QA folk at Mozilla are starting to use Swagger/OpenAPI as part of the overall testing process and pyswagger is a tool I'm hoping to use a lot.
