To narrow down the problem, I change the response body into something as simple as one sentence as text/plain.
this is a test
However, the following very basic function still fails:
tests["Body matches string"] = responseBody.has("this");
Ironically this test works:
tests["Body matches string"] = responseBody.has("t");
I am using the latest postman v4.11.1. It looks like a fundamental defect for postman.
it turns out that postman does not support unicode. if i change the encoding to utf-8, everything works perfectly.

when i use normal json body postman gives me 201 created response but when i am using global variable postman giving me 400 bad request
Variables still need to be used in proper JSON format therefore you should be putting your strings in quotes:
{
"email": "{{email}}",
"password" : "{{password}}",
"confirmpassword" : "{{confirmpassword}}"
}
See https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/variables/
Side note: please provide actual "happy path" (when it worked) as well as your errors. Text instead of images is good too to help people try to reproduce your errors without a lot of typing
I'm currently writing Automated REST API tests using Karate dsl and I'm encountering an issue when I try a kind of destructive test. Sending invalid query parameter.
I follow the recommendation from this post Karate: Query Param values are getting encoded who is to use the url only but it seems to not work with query parameter:
Scenario: Destructive testing - Illegal characters in parameters or payload
* def buildURL = 'http://127.0.0.1/identity/client?query={"idClient":{"$eq":9223372036854775807}}'
Given url buildURL
When method GET
Then status 400
error:
java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 39: http://127.0.0.1/identity/client?query={"idClient":{"$eq":9223372036854775807}}
I have the same kind of test for url path where it works fine, but for query param, this way does not seems to work.
To be clear, my goal is to send query params or at least the character { without url encoding
Any idea to solve that ?
Thanks in advance
karate version : 0.9.6
First, you are trying illegal characters as per the spec, so you may need to manually "URL-encode" the URL - and you already seem to be aware of all this, based on the link in your question. Maybe your server is not compliant with the spec.
Recommend you try upgrading to 1.0 and also refer this open issue: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/1561
Anything beyond this will require you to help / contribute code.
I am making an Axios GET request from my React Native app to my locally served backend.
The response "config" object shows a "baseURL" of "http://192.168.1.68:8080/api" and a "url" of "inventory?status=ALL&barcode=127035838".
The response "request" object shows a "_url" of "http://192.168.1.68:8080/api/inventory?status=ALL&barcode=127035838".
However! the response "responseURL" attribute shows a value of "http://192.168.1.68:8080/api/inventory?status=ALL&barcode=127035838%1D".
The request from the app is not finding the barcode, returning 204. Making the same request from Postman, I am able to find the barcode with a 200 status. This makes me believe the issue is not on the backend. I switched from Axios to fetch and found the same result.
It is my guess the additional "%1D" on the end of the barcode is the cause of frustration. Why is the rsponseURL different from the request url. Why is axios adding "1%D", and how can I make it stop? Is there something else going on?
My solution:
let uriSN = serialNumber;
uriSN = encodeURIComponent(serialNumber);
uriSN = uriSN.replace('%1D', '');
Encoding the barcode and then stripping it of the "1%D" solves the issue. I do not know if it is the best or complete solution.
%1D is the url-encoded hex for 29 which is an ASCII control character called the "group seperator" so your serialNumber might have this character which is being parsed accordingly (by design) through the encodeURIComponent function. This is known as "GIGO" (garbage in garbage out).
Via the Fogbugz REST API I try to get all articles with a certain tag. I wrote some code in python to get it but I got "zero" as result. Here is my code:
import requests
...
some code to log in
...
req_params={"cmd": "search", "token": self.token,"q":"tag:\"my_cool_tag\""}
response = requests.get(req_url, data=req_body, headers=req_header, params=req_params, verify=False)
print (response.text)
as response I got:
...cases count="0"...
Is there a way to get all articles with a certain tag in a list via REST-API and how I can achieve this?
I am using FogBugz Version 8.8.49.0.
Try the search with curl or directly in your web browser to check that it works, then see if you can debug your Python.
In a browser I can successfully query FogBugz Online with something like:
https://<domain>.fogbugz.com/api.asp?token=<token>&cmd=search&q=tag:%22<my_tag>%22
Although I entered quotes around my tag, the browser url encoded them to %22. Obviously <domain>, <token> and <my_tag> should be replaced with your own values.
Your basic parameters look OK, but I haven't used Python so am not sure whether escaping the quotes around the tag translates well to the GET request? Maybe try url encoding "my_cool_tag".
I'm using the MediaWiki API to update some pages with an experimental robot.
This robot uses the Java Apache HTTP-client library to update the pages.
(...)
PostMethod postMethod = new PostMethod("http://mymediawikiinstallation/w/api.php");
postMethod.addParameter("action","edit");
postMethod.addParameter("title",page.replace(' ', '_'));
postMethod.addParameter("summary","trying to fix this accent problem");
postMethod.addParameter("text",content);
postMethod.addParameter("basetimestamp",basetimestamp);
postMethod.addParameter("starttimestamp",starttimestamp);
postMethod.addParameter("token",token);
postMethod.addParameter("notminor","");
postMethod.addParameter("format","xml");
int status = httpClient.executeMethod(postMethod);
(...)
However the 'content' string contains some accents. System.out.prinln(content) looks OK, but the accentuated characters in the wiki look bad. E.g. 'Val�rie' instead of 'Valérie'.
How can I fix this?
OK, changing the request header fixed the problem.
postMethod.setRequestHeader( "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8");
In my PHP code to talk to the Mediawiki API I used urlencode to encode the title parameter, and this seems to work fine.
