Flexport CI Integration

Overview

Set up CI/CD for Flexport logistics integrations: run unit tests with mocked shipment and tracking responses on every PR, execute live API contract validation against the Flexport sandbox on merge to main. Flexport's API covers shipments, booking, customs documentation, and real-time tracking, so CI pipelines verify data transforms for shipment lifecycle events and ensure API contract compatibility across versions.

Mock-Based Unit Tests

// tests/flexport-service.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { getShipmentStatus } from '../src/flexport-service';

vi.mock('../src/flexport-client', () => ({
  FlexportClient: vi.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({
    getShipment: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
      id: 'shp_abc123',
      status: 'in_transit',
      origin: { port: 'CNSHA', country: 'CN' },
      destination: { port: 'USLAX', country: 'US' },
      containers: [{ id: 'MSKU1234567', type: '40ft_hc' }],
      estimated_arrival: '2026-04-15T00:00:00Z',
    }),
    listShipments: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ data: [], total_count: 0 }),
  })),
}));

describe('Flexport Service', () => {
  it('returns shipment tracking status', async () => {
    const status = await getShipmentStatus('shp_abc123');
    expect(status.status).toBe('in_transit');
    expect(status.origin.port).toBe('CNSHA');
  });
});

Integration Tests

// tests/integration/flexport.integration.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';

const hasKey = !!process.env.FLEXPORT_API_KEY;

describe.skipIf(!hasKey)('Flexport Live API', () => {
  it('lists shipments from sandbox', async () => {
    const res = await fetch('https://api.flexport.com/shipments?per=1', {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.FLEXPORT_API_KEY}`,
        'Flexport-Version': '2',
      },
    });
    expect(res.status).toBe(200);
    const body = await res.json();
    expect(body.data).toHaveProperty('total_count');
  });
});
