Gabbi uses YAML to construct the tests that will hit the API endpoints, in a similar way to using Rspec's DSL when making <a href="https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails#request-specs">request specs</a>.</p> <p>For my latest contribution to Gnocchi, I was working on an <a href="https://github.com/gnocchixyz/gnocchi/issues/12">issue</a> where newly created metrics were not being returned in the response from <code>/v1/resource/generic/:id/metric</code>. After applying the fixes and submitting the patch, it was also necessary to update some of the functional Gabbi tests that belong to this specific use case.</p> <p>One of these original tests is shown below:</p>
