I have been trying out https://hurl.dev and so far been really liking it. Plain text format, everything runs very quickly locally, it can capture data from previous requests to run workflows and serve as a testing tool.

If you like hurl, you may also like Step CI, which uses yaml, generates tests from your OpenAPI spec and is easy to integrate with CI/CD

Give it a try: https://stepci.com

It's free and open-source on GitHub, built by the community!

Having a startup delay because the cli is written in node is a non starter for me. Hurl is written in Rust and starts up incredibly fast. It looks nice though for those that want to stick with the JS ecosystem though.

I totally understand. I'm a big fan of Rust myself, but we decided to go with TypeScript so we could quicker iterate on ideas and introduce new features. Another reason is that our goal is to be a community-driven project and I think we both can agree that there are far more web developers using JS than any other programming language

Our workflow specs are open-source as well, so if anybody wants to contribute a compatible runner written in other language - you're welcome!

Thanks for mentioning hurl. I just started looking into it and Insomnia (with the cli) as potential replacements for ci testing tools.

hurl looks pretty simple to use, and way easier to get started with than what we're using at work currently.
