How to set timeout as variable in Tavern test?

I have two yaml files for my tests, common.yaml and test.yaml. There are some variables defined in common.yaml:

name: Common test information
description: Common data used by test cases

variables:
  url: http://localhost:8080/v2
  timeout: 30

In the test file:

includes:
  - !include common.yaml

stages:
  - name: test
    request:
      url: "{url:s}/test"
      method: GET
      timeout: "{timeout:d}"
    response:
      status_code: 200

It uses the timeout defined on common file. I got this error when I run the test:

tavern.util.exceptions.BadSchemaError: 'timeout' must be either a float/int or a 2-tuple of floats/ints - got '{timeout:d}' (type <class 'str'>)

It seems that Tavern doesn't recognize the type of timeout. I have specify the type is d in the end but why it doesn't pick up.

Solution

  • use timeout: !int "{timeout:d}"

    or timeout: !float "{timeout:f}"

    to convert type from string
