# Builtin ## Builtin assertions HttpRunner+ validation should follow the following format. `check`, `assert` and `expect` are required field. ```json { "check": "status_code", // target field, usually used with jmespath "assert": "equals", // assertion method, you can use builtin method or custom defined function "expect": 200, // expected value "msg": "check response status code" // optional, print this message if assertion failed } ``` The `assert` method name will be mapped to a built-in function with the following function signature. ```go func(t assert.TestingT, expected interface{}, actual interface{}, msgAndArgs ...interface{}) bool ``` Currently, HttpRunner+ has the following built-in assertion functions. | `assert` | Description | A(check), B(expect) | examples | | -- | -- | -- | -- | | `eq`, `equals`, `equal` | value is equal | A == B | 9 eq 9 | | `lt`, `less_than` | less than | A < B | 7 lt 8 | | `le`, `less_or_equals` | less than or equals | A <= B | 7 le 8, 8 le 8 | | `gt`, `greater_than` | greater than | A > B | 8 gt 7 | | `ge`, `greater_or_equals` | greater than or equals | A >= B | 8 ge 7, 8 ge 8 | | `ne`, `not_equal` | not equals | A != B | 6 ne 9 | | `str_eq`, `string_equals` | string equals | str(A) == str(B) | 123 str_eq '123' | | `len_eq`, `length_equals`, `length_equal` | length equals | len(A) == B | 'abc' len_eq 3, [1,2] len_eq 2 | | `len_gt`, `count_gt` | length greater than | len(A) > B | 'abc' len_gt 2, [1,2,3] len_gt 2 | | `len_ge`, `count_ge` | length greater than or equals | len(A) >= B | 'abc' len_ge 3, [1,2,3] len_gt 3 | | `len_lt`, `count_lt` | length less than | len(A) < B | 'abc' len_lt 4, [1,2,3] len_lt 4 | | `len_le`, `count_le` | length less than or equals | len(A) <= B | 'abc' len_le 3, [1,2,3] len_le 3 | | `contains` | contains | [1, 2] contains 1 | 'abc' contains 'a', [1,2,3] len_lt 4 | | `contained_by` | contained by | A in B | 'a' contained_by 'abc', 1 contained_by [1,2] | | `type_match` | A and B are in the same type | type(A) == type(B) | 123 type_match 1 | | `regex_match` | regex matches | re.match(B, A) | 'abcdef' regex 'a\w+d' | | `startswith` | starts with | A.startswith(B) is True | 'abc' startswith 'ab' | | `endswith` | ends with | A.endswith(B) is True | 'abc' endswith 'bc' | ## Builtin functions | Name | Arguments | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `get_timestamp` | () | get the thirteen-digit timestamp of current time. | | `sleep` | (n int) | sleep n seconds to simulate the thinking time. | | `gen_random_string` | (n int) | get the n-digit random string. | | `max` | (m,n int) | get the maximum of two numbers m and n. | | `md5` | (s string) | get the MD5 of the input string s. |
