I have the following code in a BeanShell PostProcessor that would confirm that a 404 error response code is being received:
if (prev.getResponseCode().equals("404") == true) {
prev.setResponseOK();
}
Rather than looking at the Response Code, I want to be able to search for text in the Response Data instead for this request and then use the prev.setResponseOK().
Any ideas how this can be done?
You would need to use:
prev.getResponseDataAsString()
But if all you want to do is check that a text is present, why not use a ResponseAssertion

I have a SoapUI REST (i.e. non-SOAP) mock service that returns a response for a POST request.
The request and response both contain JSON content.
At the moment, I can get it to return a static response and that works fine, but I want some of the values in the response to be dynamically sourced from the request.
So if I have this request:
{
"the_request":{
"abc":"123",
}
How can I get the value of "abc" copied in the response?
Investigation has lead me to believe I can do this via including a variable in the response, something like:
Response:
{
"the_response":{
"value_from_request":"${#MockResponse#Request#the_request#abc}",
"other":"stuff",
}
And then implementing a script to populate the variable in the response, via the Script tab.
How can I then populate this with data from the request?
Currently SoapUI just generates an empty value
"value_from_request":"",
Tried using mockRequest.requestContent in the Script tab, but have not found how to obtain the "123" value from it.
OK, worked this out. So the response message can simply reference a variable in the requestContext like so:
Response:
{
"the_response":{
"value_from_request":"${the_value}",
"other":"stuff",
}
And a groovy script can be used to parse the JSON request content and populate "the_value" or whatever you like in the requestContext:
// Parse the JSON request.
def requestBody = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(mockRequest.getRequestContent())
// Set up "the_value" from the request message.
requestContext.the_value = requestBody.the_request.abc
// Bit of logging so can see this in the "script log" tab.
log.info "Value extracted from request: ${requestContext.the_value}"
I think the script should be like this
def requestBody = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(mockRequest.getRequestContent())
context.setProperty("the_value",requestBody.the_request.abc)
I'm guessing I've missed something silly so I apologize in advance.
I'm trying to run the example found at the following URL in mock mode: https://github.com/apigee-127/a127-samples/blob/master/weather-basic/api/swagger/swagger.yaml
The JSON response looks like it's being escaped and it's causing the response validator to fail:
{
"message": "Response validation failed: invalid content type (text/plain). These are valid: application/json",
"failedValidation": true,
"originalResponse": "{\"base\":\"Sample text\",\"clouds\":{\"all\":1},\"cod\":1,\"coord\":{\"lat\":1,\"lon\":1},\"dt\":1,\"id\":1,\"main\":{\"humidity\":1,\"pressure\":1,\"temp_max\":1,\"temp_min\":1,\"temp\":1},\"name\":\"Sample text\",\"sys\":{\"country\":\"Sample text\",\"id\":1,\"message\":1,\"sunrise\":1,\"sunset\":1,\"type\":1},\"weather\":[{\"description\":\"Sample text\",\"icon\":\"Sample text\",\"id\":1,\"main\":\"Sample text\"}],\"wind\":{\"deg\":1,\"speed\":1}}"
}
Any ideas would be awesome!
You need to send something like this res.json({});
Send as json object don't stringify your result object ,
var result = {name:"asdf",id:1212}
res.json(result);
I'm new to Grails and I'm stuck up with a problem. I want to know if there is a way to send both JSON and view and model through "render" in Grails.
I'm using a jQuery Datatable to display data returned from server which is read from JSON returned by the controller. I also need to display error messages on the same view in case of validation failure in form fields. But I'm able to return either only the JSON or model and view using render. I also tried sending the JSON through model itself but it didn't work.
This is my code:-
def hierarchyBreakInstance = new HierarchyBreak(params);
String json = "{\"sEcho\":\"1\",\"iTotalRecords\":0,\"iTotalDisplayRecords\":0,\"aaData\":[]}";
hierarchyBreakInstance.errors.reject(message(code: 'hierarchyBreak.error.division.blank'));
render(view: "hierarchyBreak", model: [hierarchyBreakInstance: hierarchyBreakInstance]);
//render json;
The gsp code:-
<g:hasErrors bean="${hierarchyBreakInstance}">
<div class="errorMessage" role="alert">
<g:eachError bean="${hierarchyBreakInstance}" var="error">
<g:if test="${error in org.springframework.validation.FieldError}" > data-field-id="${error.field}"</g:if>
<g:message error="${error}"/>
</g:eachError>
</div>
</g:hasErrors>
Could you please let me know if there is a way to do this. Thanks!
You can use like this.
def hierarchyBreakInstance = new HierarchyBreak(params);
String json = "{\"sEcho\":\"1\",\"iTotalRecords\":0,\"iTotalDisplayRecords\":0,\"aaData\":[]}";
hierarchyBreakInstance.errors.reject(message(code: 'hierarchyBreak.error.division.blank'));
render(view: "hierarchyBreak", model: [hierarchyBreakInstance: hierarchyBreakInstance,json:json]);
//render json;
Assuming that you are doing a request with some parameters, and need to return if was succesfull or not, and the data to fill the table with ajax.
I will do on that way, use the statuses of the HTTP to mark if it was a problem with the validation(normally we return 400 Bad Request and the message)
Example :
return ErrorSender.sendBadRequest("error validating field $field with value $value")
And the errorsender has a sendBadRequest method
[response: ['message': message, error: "bad_request", status: 400, cause: []], status: 400]
If the request was OK, you only need to respond the data with something like
return [response: results, status: 200]
In the client side you have to have one function if the request was OK to parse result, and one function if request have some validated data problem, database problem or whatever that caused that the request didn´t return a 200(in the example),there are more status codes, you can check on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes
PD: Initial validation should be done on client side.
I have created a WebAPI project to help capture statements from a TinCan learning course but I am having extreme difficulty in retrieving any of the Request payload details. Within this payload I pass the whole statement that I am trying to capture but upon trying to read using:
var test = Request.Content.ReadAsFormDataAsync().Result.ToString();
I get the following error message:
No MediaTypeFormatter is available to read an object of type 'FormDataCollection' from content with media type 'application/json'.
I have tried Converting the result object to JSON to overcome this problem but it has not been any use. Do I need to configure json somewhere in the configuration? I have tried adding
var appXmlType = config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.FirstOrDefault(t => t.MediaType == "application/xml");
config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Remove(appXmlType);
and also:
var jsonFormatter = config.Formatters.JsonFormatter;
config.Formatters.Insert(0, jsonFormatter);
to my WebApiConfig.cs file as answered in another question of how to return json but I cannot seem to pass this error. I have also set config.formatter to accept application/json but this also has not worked
CONTROLLER CODE
public void Put([FromBody]string statementId)
{
var test = Request.Content.ReadAsFormDataAsync().Result;
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("Application", "/xAPI/PUT has been called", System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error);
}
From the error message you have provided, it seems like request content is in application/json. ReadAsFormDataAsync() can only read content of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
In this case, you can use ReadAsAsync<> if you have the type you want to be deserialized defined or simply use ReadAsStringAsync<> if you just want to read the content as a string.
Here is a typical JQGrid JSON response:
{
"page":1,
"records":537,
"rows":[..],
"rowCount":10,
"total":54
}
Along with this, I want to send additional custom data. For example, I'd like to send the database time of the last search so that I can lazy-reload my grid whenever changes have occurred since then. Here is how I would like to send that data:
{
//Custom name-value pairs:
"nameValues":{"lastSearchTime":"2011/09/01:14:14:56"},
//Normal JSON data:
"page":1,
"records":537,
"rows":[..],
"rowCount":10,
"total":54
}
The problem is that JQGrid swallows up the JSON response rather than forwarding it to the gridComplete method. In other words, params is undefined in the following function:
function myGridComplete (params){
//params is undefined!
var JSONResponse = ?;//I need your help here!!!
globalGridVariables.lastSearchTime = JSONResponse.nameValues.lastSearchTime;
//Rest of grid complete method
..
}
Please let me know if there is a way to get access to the JSON response object in the gridComplete method, or if there is another supported way to add custom data to a JSON response.
Thanks much!
Note: I don't want to send this as a hidden column, because that would be inefficient.
You can use loadComplete instead of gridComplete. The loadComplete event has one parameter (for example data) which represent the full data from the server response inclusive all of your extensions.
Alternative you can rename the nameValues to userdata and use $('#list').jqGrid('getGridParam', 'userData') to get the value. See here for more information.
Moreover you can consider to use more HTTP caching (see here and here) for the aims which you described in your question.
You can use beforeProcessing that has the deserialized response and gets active before gridComplete and loadComplete.
For example:
beforeProcessing: function (data, status, xhr) {
myArray = data.rows;
}
And just to make it more clearer from the documentation:
Below is the execution order of the events when a ajax request is made
beforeRequest
loadBeforeSend
serializeGridData
loadError
beforeProcessing
gridComplete
loadComplete
