Validating Requests

Goose Eggs

Goose-eggs are helpful in writing Goose load tests.

To leverage Goose Eggs when writing your load test, include the crate in the dependency section of your `Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
goose-eggs = "0.4"

For example, to use the Goose Eggs validation functions, bring the Validate structure and either the validate_page or the validate_and_load_static_assets function into scope:

use goose_eggs::{validate_and_load_static_assets, Validate};

Now, it is simple to verify that we received a 200 HTTP response status code, and that the text Gander appeared somewhere on the page as expected:

let goose = user.get("/goose/").await?;

let validate = &Validate::builder()
    .status(200)
    .text("Gander")
    .build();

validate_and_load_static_assets(user, goose, &validate).await?;

Whether or not validation passed or failed will be visible in the Goose metrics when the load test finishes. You can enable the debug log to gain more insight into failures.

Read the goose-eggs documentation to learn about other helpful functions useful in writing load tests, as well as other validation helpers, such as headers, header values, the page title, and whether the request was redirected.
