Tests

tests:
  - text: All tests should pass
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput("url") + "/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=0").then(data => { assert.equal(data.state,"passed"); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
  - text: You should test for 'res.status' == 200
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput("url") + "/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=0").then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, "equal"); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[0], "res.status"); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[1], "200");}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
  - text: You should test for 'res.text' == 'hello Guest'
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput("url") + "/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=0").then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, "equal"); assert.equal(data.assertions[1].args[0], "res.text"); assert.equal(data.assertions[1].args[1], "\"hello Guest\"");}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
