Custom Headers with CLI Deployment Events

over 5 years ago by Joseph Lust

You can now provide custom headers with the mabl CLI. All tests started by the deployment will have these headers added to their browser requests. Simply add the --http-headers flag followed by the desired headers to your deployment CLI command.

mabl deployments create -a my-app-id --http-headers "foo:bar" "baz:qux"

Sample use cases include:

  • Setting tracking IDs on each execution like x-test-id:test-123
  • Setting custom authorization headers like authorization:Bearer my-token

To use this feature, update your CLI to 0.6.13-beta or higher using
npm install -g @mablhq/mabl-cli

Combination of Authorization Headers and Credentials

If your test plan is configured with Basic Auth credentials, then these will take precedence over authorization headers set by --http-headers

Authorization Header Domain Constraints

If you set authorization headers, they will only be sent on web requests to the same domain/sub domains of the application's start URL.

e.g. if application URL is foo.com/login, foo.com and tracking.foo.com requests would receive the authorization header, but bar.com requests would not.
