How to invoke Grails action and parse its json result? - json

I have a filter that is filtering for some actions. In case this is a required action I need to render it and see its response (json). how could I invoke it and see if the response contains errors?
Thanks,

Have you tried the afterView?
afterView - Executed after view rendering. Takes an Exception as an
argument which will be non-null if an exception occurs during
processing. Note: this Closure is called before the layout is applied

How to view the differencies between JSON response and a failed JSR223 Assertion in Jmeter?

I am using Jmeter and I am testing if a JSON response from a GET request is correct by using JSR223 Assertion.
When the script is correct then the results are correct (unless of course there is something wrong with the response). However if the script is incorrect the test fails even though that the response is accurate, which is the expected behavior.
But then I have to check each line of the script so that I can find the differencies with the response in order to fix it. This wastes a lot of time.
I am not speaking of missing symbols but rather additional lines that are compared to the JSON response but are not actually in it. For example I am comparing country code in the assertion but there is no country code in the response.
Is there a way that JSR223 Assertion can return the differencies in the debugger for Jmeter?
Thank you in advance!
You have AssertionResult shorthand which is an instance of AssertionResult class therefore you can use the following methods:
AssertionResult.setFailure() - to indicate whether assertion successful or not
AssertionResult.setFailureMessage() - to set a custom message on assertion failure
Example code:
if (1 == 1) {
AssertionResult.setFailure(true);
AssertionResult.setFailureMessage("Expecteed something but it wasn't found");
}
Will produce output like:

ASP.NET WEB API PUT method Nullreference Exception

I'm trying to pass an object named "User" with user data in HTTP PUT method. I've created a custom controller method, gave it a [HttpPut]. In my application i'm calling a proper route with PUT header, but when i'm trying to pass an User object in JSON format my WEB API is throwing nullreference exception, which indicates that user object isn't passed. MY other custom POST methods are working fine, I'm having problem only with PUT method. My object in JSON format has proper formatting, I double-checked. What may be causing the problem?
I managed to fix the problem. In my User model constructor i deleted initialization of lists of other objects and it worked.

Jmeter and Json, extracting and using variables for another request

I'm new to JMeter and I'm probably missing something quite simple...
Note: I'm using a json add-on as well.
After making a request, I extract a value from the response. If I check the view results I'm able to see the correct value in the variable I created.
-Initial extraction of value-
-how I tried to use my new value for a new request-
If I try use the variable in another request, I receive an error because the variable is now the default value.
What am I doing incorrectly that makes the second post request to use the default value and not the value it captured (if I did that correctly).
Thanks
JSON Path Extractor is a Post Processor. It is not a Sampler. It should be the child element of the first request 'Create Order' in your test plan if you are going to extract from the 'Create Order' response. If it is in same level with other requests, the post processor will be executed for each and every samplers in the same level. That is why, You are able to see the value for the first time. Now Post processor tries to extract the value from the Debug Sampler as well. As Debug Sampler does not match your JSON extract condition, It sets the default value.
2 years later (March 2018), with Jmeter version 4.0, solution it's the same.
With the new interface, simply by dragging the json extractor on the http request, the json is limited to perform the extraction operation on it, maintaining the results.

Unexpected method call meaning in EasyMock/PowerMock

I am pretty confused with the error "Unexpected method call" in PowerMock/EasyMock.
Let me know in which one of the below two scenario the above error refers to.
I have an written an expectation for a method and the method is not available in the actual code.
I have not written an expectation in junit for a method which is present in the actual code.
This means your mocked object received an unexpected method call (option 2 in your question).
To resolve this, you need to write an expectation that allows this invocation (or correct your application code if this method shouldn't be called).

symfony2 exceptions - don't return HTML

I've got a symfony2 bundle where I use jquery terminal project. It's a simple javascript console where the user passes some instructions which are executed on server side with AJAX/JSON and returned to the console and displayed. The php server scripts reads the browser-terminal request from $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'].
Currently, when any request throws an error, symfony2 returns a whole HTML response. I don't want the HTML part (I'd like to display the exception message/code only).
The problem is: symfony2 handles exceptions and catches them somewhere, embedding in HTML and returns such response. I want to modify this - the exc. may be caught, but I want no HTML included. There is one distinct bundle, made only for the console stuff.
In fact, the problem was that there was exit statement missing in the controller. The controller response was empty, so an exception was thrown, that a controller has to return a response. After adding exit; after echoing the output, the problem was gone.
