On: Hurl: Run and test HTTP requests with plain text

[gbourne]

Really impressed. The ability to chain the http calls with assertions is great. The one thing I would prefer is to set the environment variables also in the .hurl file rather than in a .env file. Also, how do you access the key of a nested object?

You can use JSONPath asserts on responses, for instance:

  GET https://api.foo.net
  
  HTTP/1.1 200
  [Asserts]
  jsonpath "$.books[0].author.name" == "Hugo"

Thanks for this - became a big fan of Hurl. Created a guide on Hurl for calling API requests and used the array technique with [Captures]. [0]
