CLI Flow Runner - Atrahasis Changelog

atrahasis cli includes a built-in flow runner for multi-step API tests. Define flows in JSON, run them with shared state across steps, and watch progress in a live terminal dashboard.

Run a flow

# All flows in a directory
atra run api-tests

# A specific flow
atra run api-tests -f order-lifecycle

# Sequential iterations
atra run api-tests -f order-lifecycle -i 10

# Parallel workers
atra run api-tests -f order-lifecycle -p 4

# Stop on first failure
atra run api-tests -f order-lifecycle -c

Variable resolution

Three variable types, resolved at every step:

{{flow.varName}} — flow-scoped state, carries data between steps (extract a token from login, use it in subsequent requests)
{{varName}} — environment variables from the active env
{{random.type}} — fresh random value on each evaluation (uuid, email, name, number, custom regex, ...)

Live dashboard

Response-time chart per step, per iteration
Throughput, success rate, average response time
Step-by-step table with HTTP status, latency, and assertion outcomes
Anomaly detection highlights iterations significantly faster or slower than the step average, with a coefficient of variation summary

Details

Exit code 0 if every step and every assertion passes, 1 otherwise
Pre/post scripts run before/after each step (JavaScript via the boa engine)
Same flow definition runs locally, in CI, in a release gate, or as a scheduled smoke test
