Testing Workflows (Run Test)

The “Run Test” utility allows you to validate individual steps or full flows without deploying them to production.

Using the {{var:type}} Syntax

When defining test inputs or mapping variables, you can enforce specific data types using the curly-bracket syntax. This ensures the engine treats the data correctly (e.g., as an integer instead of a string).

• Syntax: {{variable_name:type}}
• Example: {{amount:number}} or {{is_active:boolean}}.

Loading Schemas from REST APIs

If you are testing a step that interacts with an external REST API, the “Run Test” interface can automatically configure itself if the target API exposes a /schema endpoint.

1. Enter the Base URL of the API.
2. Click “Load Schema”.
3. The system will fetch definitions from [api-url]/schema, automatically populating the available fields and validation rules for your test case.

Submitting File Attachments in Tests

1. Locate the field mapped to field.uploaded_document.
2. Click the Upload icon within the test interface.
3. Select a local file. This file is temporarily processed by the extract_document step (if configured) to simulate a real user submission.
