Cross platform build and release task for executing smoke tests against a single or multiple URLs with header and proxy support. The task also has the option to retry the test(s), if any test fails.

For multiple URLs a test for each URL will be executed, if any test fails, the task will fail.

The HTTP status code which will be validated. If the server does not respond with the specified status code, the test will fail.

The HTTP method which will be used for all requests.

List of headers which will be sent with the request(s). One per line, in the following format:

MyHeader=my header value
MySecondHeader=2nd

The proxy server used for the request(s).

Alternatively you can specify the ADVANCED_SMOKE_PROXY environment variable.

HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY environment variables are also supported.

Whether SSL certificates are required to be valid.

Timeout in milliseconds for the server to respond. If no timeout is specified, the default from the request module (and in some cases from the OS) will be used.

Number of retries, which will be executed in case of any errors during the test(s). Useful if used directly after deployment to handle warmup.

Delay (in milliseconds) between retries.

This task is using the advanced-smoke npm package (GitHub) which also offers a CLI.
