I have a page, that page return StreamResponse (json):
StreamResponse onActivate() { .... }
Server support POST/GET/PUT/DELETE requests with parameters for that page.
I want write a test (junit) for this requests and assert results.
How I can did it?
For pre-Tapestry 5.4 there's a SeleniumTestCase that you can use to run integration tests for your app:
https://tapestry.apache.org/integration-testing.html
Note that Selenium RC that's used in SeleniumTestCase has been deprecated and new projects shouldn't use it.
Recent versions of tapestry recommend to use Spock + Geb for integration testing, one example can be found here. There's a 3rd party project tapestry-geb maintained by a Tapestry committer that can help you setup the Geb for your tests.
You can also start your app using PageTester, but as far as I know PageTester itself can't work with custom HTTP verbs, so you'll need to use something else for sending requests, i.e. using the same Spock + Geb.
Note that it's not something common to have a Tapestry page that responds to different HTTP verbs and returns JSON response. It looks like you're trying to implement some sort of REST API, in this case I'd recommend you to look at Tynamo's tapestry-resteasy.
With tapestry-resteasy you can expose a Tapestry service as a REST endpoint. In such case you can use above mentioned PageTester to test your the endpoint as a regular Tapestry service.

I am total JS newbie working on a project build in Grail 2.4.4, a web-app. It's a working app, build by a developer whom is not available anymore.
To get it to work locally I had to upgrade it to Grails 3.2.0. I got it almost working in Netbeans. But I got stuck at getting the data from the MySQL database.
The Chrome inspector says:
angular.min.js GET http://localhost:8080/<app>/currency/allCurrencies 404 ()
The controllers are written in Restangular which call the above URL.
What am I missing?
Firstly, Restangular is an Angular library which simplifies and standardizes making calls to a REST backend (which in your case is a Grails app). So, Restangular does not directly retrieve data from your a database, it invokes a web service which (in some cases) may retrieve data from a database.
In your case, Restangular is attempting to retrieve data from the endpoint http://localhost:8080/<app>/currency/allCurrencies but you are getting a 404 response, indicating that there is no endpoint mapped to this URL.
HTTP REST helps you connect to the API easily. Restangular can handle that by sending standard methods [Get, Post, Delete, Put] to the api like what you see.
This mean StudentController > Get()
localhost:2045/api/student
This mean StudentController > Get(Guid id)
localhost:2045/api/student/8ae37cfa-905b-4c71-ad03-bf416d93bdf8
This mean StudentController > POST(Guid id) ... if you send Post method to the API, it will detect it, this work also on put method
localhost:2045/api/student
use this module to get easily rest api.

Hi I am new for nopcommerce 3.5. I need to write a restful web service api to third party(for eg mobile) access the service. I know that we can access through Nop.Plugin.Misc.WebServices . I had enable the service from administrator site.
But now is my question. How can i call the web service for eg GetPaymentMethod , product list and etc
And if I want to write my custom web service by using web api. what is step to create? I cant find any documentation about the web service. Please guide me some example
Thanks
If you want a really quick start in writing a web service in NopCommerce, you can follow the MVC architecture and:
Create an Action method inside a Controller that you find appropriate for your purpose. For example, if you want access to a product list, you might create an Action inside CatalogController that follows the logic of the existing ProductList action.
Set up a Route in RouteProvider.cs to point to the Action you created. Based on this route you can deduce the URL of your service.
Do the processing that you need inside the Action. If this Action/service is to be called with parameters (in query string format: param=value¶m2=value2), you can just put these parameters in the Action's header:
public ActionResult QuickService(int param, string param2) { ... and .NET will take care of having them initialized.
Store results in an object (can also be an anonymous object) and at the end of your action, return it as Json: return Json(resultsObject); Again, ASP.NET takes care of the JSON serialization and automatically sets the Content-Type HTTP response header to "application/json".
You can consume the service calling the URL that corresponds to the route of your Action.
If you want users to be able to log in, by using the above method, it gets a little bit trickier. You need the webservice client to be able to accept and send cookies, as well as make appropriate services for Login, Logout, Register,...
However, in this case, you might be better off with a mobile version of the site.
Final note: If you don't want to alter base NopCommerce code, you can apply the steps above to a plugin. The majority of NopCommerce plugins follow the MVC architecture, so you can apply the steps above.
I need to add JSON format parameters to request payload to do a POST request in restful service testing. How can I do that in SOAP UI?
You did not specify which version of SoapUI you are using. In version 4.x of SoapUI, they made the same assumption as what FrAn answered: you generally do not want to include a payload for a GET request. In later versions of SoapUI, they corrected this and you are able to do it.
Once you change the method type to POST, on the individual method call, you will see another panel where you are able to define the body. You can see this in the documentation. You will have to write out the entire body manually.
For REST services, the payload is not part of the WADL - which SoapUI uses internally to store the entire definition. You can create a sample Request in your REST service to make creating test cases easier. You can see this in the documentation.
Lastly, some additional information is available in the API Dojo.
HTTP GET request shouldn't contain payload. While you can do that, insofar as it isn't explicitly precluded by the HTTP specification, I would suggest avoiding it simply because people don't expect things to work that way.
I've been looking into if it's possible to create a web based version of my Chrome Plugin
now that it's relying completely on Trakt.TV's JSON API.
According to angular's documentation, it's possible to intercept HTTP requests at several levels, one is the HTTP Backend itself (mainly used for testing though) and the other is HTTPInterceptor.get
The basic idea is to wrap calls to Trakt.TV's JSONP api through http://json2jsonp.com/ and have them returned transparently to get around cross site scripting restrictions. This would not only be very useful for my own project, but for a lot of other people daeling with the same issues too (therefore i'll release the module after it's done, but I want to do it properly)
The basics should be simple:
Hook the $http.get request at the right level
Overwrite the original request made
Cancel an optional other request already set up
Hook it through $http.jsonp(http://json2jsonp.com/)
Return the original promise's success/fail when done
Questions:
Has anyone built anything like this yet? (Github searches revealed nothing)
Would you suggest using the HTTPBackend or the HTTPInterceptor?
why can't you just use the jsonp helper function?
httpBakend is a mockup service to fake a backend server is not used on live code. http interceptors would do what you want you just need to attach the callback function name to your request if the url contains what ever name you want to filter and then in the response interceptor you have to pass response to the callback function so the json to be evaluated. be aware that interceptors will inspect every request makde by angular which is not very eficien, unless you are only doing calls to the tv service.
like i said before a better approach is to use $http.jsonp function
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#jsonp
a word about interceptors they need to be defined as services and then be passed to HttpProvider during your apps configuration.
I need to know the easiest way to execute JSON in a selenium test. An example would be i want to POST { "UserId":"234234" } and test against what is returned. Currently using Advanced REST client chrome app to manually test. I've done a lot of searching on this topic but haven't come across any good examples.
This doesn't sound like it's best solved by selenium. With Selenium you would interact with the form to get that value to post, and handle the subsequent AJAX response / page refresh. If you wish to POST data you should look at a library that performs those types of operations across the wire.
If you are looking for a HTTP library, then Apache has a good one (Java based).
