QA API Code Test

It is time to run some tests against OMDb API - The Open Movie Database!

How to Set Up Directory:

1. Clone this project to a directory on your machine.
2. Have Ruby installed on your system.
3. Run gem install bundler.
4. Run bundle install in the directory containing Gemfile.lock.

How to Run the Tests:

1. Replace "Your_key_here" in TestData::BASE_PARAMS in suite/api_spec.rb with your key from http://www.omdbapi.com.
2. Run rake test in the top level directory.

Decisions

I switched this from asserts to expectations to better match a test file with Node (which never happened), but in retrospect, it's worse in Minitest.

Tips:

• You can find the main api page at http://www.omdbapi.com
• You must use minitest and rest-client as supplied, and follow the existing pattern of api requests in test_no_api_key.
• You may add or change other gems as you see the need. (For example, byebug is supplied debugging but you may use another debugger.)
• Completed repo should allow for easy setup/running of your test file.
• Unique or helpful information should be documented in the readme.

Tasks:

1. Successfully make api requests to omdbapi from within tests in api_test.rb

2. Add an assertion to test_no_api_key to ensure the response at runtime matches what is currently displayed with the api key missing

3. Extend api_test.rb by creating a test that performs a search on 'thomas'.

• Verify all titles are a relevant match
• Verify keys include Title, Year, imdbID, Type, and Poster for all records in the response
• Verify values are all of the correct object class
• Verify year matches correct format

4. Add a test that uses the i parameter to verify each title on page 1 is accessible via imdbID

5. Add a test that verifies none of the poster links on page 1 are broken

6. Add a test that verifies there are no duplicate records across the first 5 pages

7. Add a test that verifies something you are curious about with regard to movies or data in the database.
