Gabbi 1.7.0 has been released with a new feature for handling URLs and request methods. Based on feedback during a sneak preview at PyconUK 2015, people are going to like it.

The original way to express a request in a gabbi test looked like this:

tests:
    - name: get article one
      method: GET
      url: /article/1
      status: 200

Now in addition to that it is also possible to do this:

tests:
    - name: get article one
      GET: /article/1
      status: 200

Note that in either case the status key is not strictly required as the default status is 200.
