Help with body in PUT request

[Yatindra AP]

I am using version 2.0.0-M3a and I have to a web service where the a PUT request requires body data, sometimes in JSON and sometimes form URL encoded.

When I try to add .body(...) or .param(...) a compilation error occurs. Is this supported? If so what I am doing wrong from the following.

body error:

exec(http("request_1")

.put("/")

.body("""{"test": "test_value"}""")

)

04:56:14.684 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ - G:\tools\gatling2\user-files\simulations\cc\PutTest.scala:27: type mismatch;

 found   : String("{\"test\": \"test_value\"}")

 required: io.gatling.http.request.Body

04:56:14.721 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ -  .body("""{"test": "test_value"}""")

04:56:14.722 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ -   ^

04:56:14.979 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ - one error found

param error:

exec(http("request_1")

.put("/")

.param("""testparam""", """{"test": "test_value"}""")

)

05:00:00.414 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ - G:\tools\gatling2\user-files\simulations\cc\PutTest.scala:27: value param is not a member of io.gatling.http.request.builder.PutHttpRequestBuilder

possible cause: maybe a semicolon is missing before `value param'?

05:00:00.417 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ -  .param("""testparam""", """{"test": "test_value"}""")

05:00:00.418 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ -   ^

05:00:00.502 [ERROR] i.g.a.ZincCompiler$ - one error found

Gatling 2 syntax is different from the one in Gatling 1:

https://github.com/excilys/gatling/wiki/Gatling%202#wiki-bodies

exec(http("request_1")

.put("/")

.body(StringBody("""{"test": "test_value"}"""))

)

param is only for POST

I have problem when .body(StringBody("\"home\"")). In my put request, I tried to put a String wrap around double quotes in the body. But based on the extraInfo.request.getContentLength = -1, I am not sure if this is working correctly. Here's my request:

exec(http("setAway")

    .put("/structures/${structureId}/away")                                              

    .queryParam("auth", "${token}")                                                      

    .body(StringBody("\"away\""))                                                        

)

In curl command, it'd be like: curl -X PUT -L -d "\"home\"" "https://api.example.com/structures/abc/away?auth=xyz"

Have you tried post instead of put?

[Lu Chen]

Unfortunately the rest api that I'm testing does not support POST.

[Abhinav Gogna]

If you use triple quotes then you wont have to escape it

""" "home" """

Thanks Abhinav, I just found out that my problem is related to the 307 redirect which I asked in another thread. If I just change the baseUrl to the redirected url, this actually works fine.
