Hi everyone,

I seem to have a problem with req.body being "undefined" when using a
POST request. Im using expresso to do the POST:

-- snip
assert.response(server, {
    url: '/',
    method: 'POST',
    data: '{"somevar": "somestring"}'
 }, {
     body: 'someresponse'

});

-- /snip

express = require('express').
server = express.createServer();

server.configure(function() { server.use(express.bodyDecoder()); };

server.post('/', function(req, res) {
        console.log(req.body);

});

I'm using version 1.0.0rc4.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

few pointers:

   1.  you are not required to use app.configure() if you dont plan on (or
   need) different environments
   2. you need to set the Content-Type to either application/json or
   application/x-www-form-urlencoded, these are the two that bodyDecoder parses

Worked, when I put the app.use calls in front.

However for me, nested params are not parsed. For the user example
(taken from the Express.js documentation) I get:

{ 'user[name]': 'adsf', 'user[email]': 'dsfa' }

Thus, req.body.user doesn't work. Is this intended?

if you are using node 0.3.x then that is what you will get, until I start
supporting the 0.3.x branch

I think I'll go with application/json for now. Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

I'm running into this issue. I am using application/json, but req.body
== undefined. Node version is v0.2.5, Expresso is 0.70, Express is
1.0.

Express:
app.configure(function(){
...
  app.use(express.bodyDecoder());
...
app.post('/observations', function(req, res) {
  console.log(req.body);
...

Expresso:
  'POST /observations': function(){
    assert.response(app,
      { url: '/observations', method: 'POST',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        data: JSON.stringify({ observation: { time_label: 'something
' } })
      },
      { status: 200, headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/html;
charset=utf-8' }},
      function(res){
        assert.includes(res.body, 'show-observation-page');
      });
  }

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
