curl syntax to send and receive REST Service API response (xml) from jenkins

[panneerrselvam natarajan]

Hi All,

I need to execute the test suite using jenkins pipeline, The test suites  which has developed using pega (REST service API). Please do let me know syntax to get the xml based response.

Do you know how to get the response with just curl?

If so I think you can have a step in the pipeline that’s a script curl YOUR_OTHER_STUFF’

pipeline {

    agent any

    stages {

        stage('Example') {

            steps {

                curl 'Your call here'

            }

        }

    }

}

Hi ,

Thanks for your response.

I am expecting complete curl statement (syntax ) for request and xml response.

Hi Panneer,

Could you please explain in more detail how you run the tests outside of Jenkins?

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt,

We have Pega test suite (Rest API) and it is working fine in pega and postman. Now through jenkins pipeline i need to call the test suite and verify the xml response thru jenkins.

Please do let me know if you need clarification.

Are you following the suggestions at https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/running-pegaunit-test-cases-and-test-suites-execute-tests-service-pega-73#config_build ?

You could also try this: 

http://blog.getpostman.com/2016/02/03/curl-and-postman-work-wonderfully-together/ since you know how to call it in postman

In the curl command give -o so that you get response back. You can also specify output format by using —output-format attribute.

But I prefer http request plugin to make rest calls from pipeline script. It is very easy to use.

Hi Prasad,

Thanks for your response.

I am getting response using HTTP instead of HTTPS and stored in xml file.. How do i read the xml file? 

The new XmlParser().parseText() displayed some error

I wrote a proposal to create a plugin to wrap the jenkins-rest library inside a jenkins plugin for Google Summer of Code 2019 (GSoC). This would eliminate the need to parse XML responses and deal with errors. It would make the pipeline scripts simpler. I would need someone to co-mentor this project. If you want to know more let me know. There are other projects too.
