Automate API Testing with GitHub Actions

  1. Ensure your Bruno collections are properly organized in your repository:
your-api-project/
├── .github/
│   └── workflows/
│       └── api-tests.yml
├── collections/
│   ├── authentication/
│   │   ├── login.bru
│   │   └── logout.bru
├── environments/
│   ├── development.bru
│   ├── ci.bru
│   └── production.bru
└── bruno.json
  1. In your repository, create the following directory structure:
mkdir -p .github/workflows
  1. Create a new file .github/workflows/api-tests.yml sample script:
name: API Tests

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v4
      
    - name: Setup Node.js
      uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      with:
        node-version: '20'
    
    - name: Install Bruno CLI
      run: npm install -g @usebruno/cli
    
    - name: Run API Tests
      run: bru run --env ci --reporter-html results.html
    
    - name: Upload Test Results
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
      with:
        name: test-results
        path: results.html
  1. Commit and push your workflow file:
git add .github/workflows/api-tests.yml
git commit -m "Add GitHub Actions workflow for API testing"
git push origin main
  1. Monitor the workflow:
    • Go to your GitHub repository
    • Click on the “Actions” tab
    • You should see your workflow running
  2. View results:
    • Once completed, download the test results from the artifacts section
    • Open results.html in your browser for detailed reports
