Gobot is a powerful stateful API testing robot. It provides a graphical interface for building test scenarios, allows for easy test script writing, step-by-step debugging and pressure testing, and can share and store states between each stage of the testing process.
Note: Enable local running mode. All changes are recorded in memory (not saved permanently). If you need to save, download the files to your local machine or use the formal deployment method.
- windows
- Go to the release page and download the executable program.
- Run the server by executing the run.bat file in the gobot_driver_win_x64_v0.3.8 directory.
- Run the editor program by executing gobot.ext in the gobot_editor_win_x64_v0.3.8 directory.
- Fill in the address input window that pops up or the address bar on the config page with http://127.0.0.1:8888, the local server address.
- Switch to the bots panel in the editor, and drag in the two test cases, http_sample.txt and tcp_sample.txt.
- Select a test case, click load to load the robot into the editing interface.
- Click the debug (spider) button below to debug (create a new debugging robot).
- Click the adjacent run button to execute step by step (run behavior tree nodes).
- Click on any node in the editor to view its settings.
- The Meta panel displays all data of the robot.
- Response displays the return values of each node.
- RuntimeErr displays any error messages encountered during node execution (automatically switches to it).
- Utilizes the 'behavior tree' to control the robot's execution order and uses 'scripts' for specific node behaviors, such as making HTTP requests.
- Provides graphical editing and debugging capabilities.
- Allows creating and reusing 'prefab' template nodes in the configuration page.
- Supports driving via HTTP API (post /bot.run -d '{"Name":"a robot"}'), making it easy to integrate into CI.
- Supports multiple protocol formats (HTTP, TCP, etc.).
- Offers 'stress testing' with configurable concurrency settings on the configuration page.
Through built-in modules and scripts, we can have rich logical expression capabilities. We can also use global (single bot) meta structures to maintain various state changes of the bot.
--[[
Each node has its own independent .lua script for execution. When a node is executed, the script is loaded and run using dostring.
Users can load desired 'modules' into the script for additional functionalities. For more information, refer to the documentation.
The script allows defining node execution logic, like sending an HTTP request.

-- Users can load "modules" they want to use in the script.

local http = require("http")
-- request body
req = {
body = {}, -- post body
timeout = "10s", -- http timeout

-- When the robot runs to a node, the execute function will be executed.
function execute()
-- Here, users can define the execution logic of nodes themselves (for example, sending an HTTP request)
res, err = http.post("url", req)

-- state - State code
-- res - Information displayed in the Response panel
return state.Succ, res
