Testing

Debugging is one thing, but how do you ensure that your configuration is working as expected? Wombat provides offers the ability to write unit tests for your configuration files. It makes it easy to protect your pipeline configurations from regressions over time. And honestly, who doesn’t like green ticks?

So how hard can it be to write a test? Not hard at all! A test is defined as a YAML object with a few key fields. Just follow this 5 step plan to internal peace and equilibrium:

Decide where to store your tests
Create a test definition with a unique name field:
```
tests:
  - name: test name
```

Define some input data:

tests:
  - name: test name
    input_batch:
      - content: 'example content'

Add output conditions to test:

tests:
  - name: test name
    input_batch:
      - content: 'example content'
    output_batches:
      - - content_equals: 'example content'

Run the test with wombat test your_test_file.yaml
