Flexport CI/CD Integration for Logistics APIs

v20260423
flexport-ci-integration
A comprehensive workflow for setting up CI/CD pipelines for Flexport logistics integrations. This tool automates unit testing with mocked data, and executes live API contract validation against the Flexport sandbox upon merging to the main branch. It ensures data transforms and API compatibility across shipment lifecycle events, covering core logistics functions like booking, tracking, and customs documentation.

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');
  });
});

Error Handling

CI Issue Cause Fix
401 Unauthorized Invalid API key or wrong environment Verify key at portal.flexport.com
Flexport-Version header missing API version not set Add Flexport-Version: 2 to all requests
Shipment not found (404) Test shipment ID expired Use listShipments to get a valid ID dynamically
Rate limit (429) Too many parallel test requests Add request throttling between test cases
Customs data empty Sandbox doesn't populate customs Mock customs fields in unit tests, skip in integration
