gauge is a light weight cross-platform test automation tool.

Configuration file

gauge is configured through a main manifest file named manifest.json which specifies the project’s language and the plugins that are in use.

Additionally, any .properties files located under env/*/ are loaded as environment variables to configure gauge, its language-specific test runners and plugins.

Code execution

The most straight-forward way to achieve code execution during test execution is to modify the implementation of the test steps. The specific details vary from language to language, in the case of Python, the step_impl directory will be loaded as a module.

If the result of the workflow steps isn’t important, we can set the language of our gauge project to Python and configure the GAUGE_PYTHON_COMMAND to point towards a controlled script.

manifest.json

{
  "Language": "python",
  "Plugins": [
    "html-report"
  ]
}

#!/bin/bash
touch pwned
python "$@" # optionally to preserve regular behavior
