Does it support multipart/form-data for uploads?

Yes, the skill provides specific curl patterns for testing file uploads while maintaining the necessary authentication cookies.

How do I verify if my route changes actually worked?

The skill provides a checklist and specific Docker-based MySQL commands to verify data persistence in the database after a successful API call.

How does the skill handle authentication?

It uses a dedicated test script to retrieve a refresh token from Keycloak, signs it with the local JWT secret, and attaches it as a cookie to requests.

Can I test routes without Keycloak running?

Yes, the skill includes a 'Mock Authentication' pattern that can be enabled in development environments to bypass Keycloak entirely using custom headers.

Security & Testing

Tests protected API endpoints using cookie-based JWT authentication and automated test scripts.

About

The Route Tester skill simplifies the validation of authenticated API endpoints within complex projects. It provides standardized patterns for handling cookie-based JWT authentication via Keycloak, enabling developers to test GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations seamlessly. By integrating specialized test scripts, mock authentication for development, and manual curl commands, it helps identify and resolve 401, 403, and 500 errors. The skill also includes mapping for various microservices and checklists for verifying database state changes after successful route execution.
