Non techy - getting going

[Matt Nash]

Hello there,

 

Fairly non-technical tester here, who’s looking to reproduce some tests that I completed with Apache JMeter.

 

I’m ok with Ruby and loved the look of this gem, but I’m finding it a bit tricky to get going, even after reading the tests.  Hoping someone can help.

All i need to do is authenticate some users and immediately visit some pages as part of the same session.  This is what i have and am wondering if i'm on the completely wrong track.

HTTP.persistent("path" ) { |http|

  response = http.post("/j_security_check", :params => {:j_username => "user", :j_password => "password"}).flush

   cookie = response["Set-Cookie"][1].split(";")[0].split("=")[1]

  %w[reports support tasks].map { |page|

    http.get("/#{page}/home.do", :headers => {:cookie => "JSESSIONID=#{cookie}" } ).flush

  }

}

I've tried tweaking this a few times and get a 404 which is strange because without the persistent connection I create a manual session in my browser, grab the session id and i can navigate everywhere with;

 

   >> HTTP.cookies(:JSESSIONID => "abc123etc").get(/reports)

   >> HTTP.cookies(:JSESSIONID => "abc123etc").get(/support)

   >> HTTP.cookies(:JSESSIONID => "abc123etc").get(/tasks)

Sorry if this is really dumb... I’d really appreciate a nudge to get me going with this ruby library before my boss reminds me of time pressure and tells me to “just use wget or something”.

Many thanks

Matt

You can grab cookie jar from response:

```

response = HTTP.post(auth_url, :params => auth_params).flush

cookies = response.cookies

puts HTTP.cookies(auth_response.cookies).get(some_url).to_s

```
