Hi,

I am currently using QAF for rest web services testing. can you please let me know how can i achieve below-

#1: How can I read the value from nested json response 
e.g. I want to read  "test2" value below response

example request Response as below:
{
"sender" : "dell",
"data": null,
"error": [
               {
                "code": "123",
                "message": "test1"
               },
               {
                "code": "456",
                "message": "test2"
               },
               {
                "code": "789",
                "message": "test3"
               }
           ]
}


#2: How Can I pass response of one json to request body of another json.

e.g. in below request body how can i pass json response of another request

example Request Body as below:
{
"sender" : "dell",
"data": null,
"error": [            
            <HERE need to pass json response of another request> 
           ]
}


Thanks & Regards,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,

1. Use JsonPath to get message from the response body.
    Example:
       Then store response body 'error[1].message' into 'errorMessage'

2. Then use variables in your other subsequent request body.
    {
"sender" : "dell",
"data": null,
"error": [            
            "${errorMessage}"
           ]
    }

Regards,
Amit Bhoraniya

Hi Amit,

Thanks. Will check on #1.
But, In #2 question i want to pass whole json object response1 in request2. example below.
How Can I do that?

 json response1:
{
"data": null,
"error": [
               {
                "code": "123",
                "message": "test1"
               },
               {
                "code": "456",
                "message": "test2"
               }
           ]
}

Json request2:
{
"name" : "raj",
"id": 2,
"more": [            
            <HERE need to pass whole  json response1: of another request> 
           ]
}

Regards,
Nitin

Try with the solution below.

1. Use json path for the entire response body.
store response body '$' into 'errorMessage'

2. If the above solution doesn't work, then create your custom step like this and call it in your bdd step.


@QAFTestStep(description = "store last response into {variable} variable")
public void storeToVariable(String variable) throws Exception {
    ConfigurationManager.getBundle()
        .setProperty(variable, new RestTestBase().getResponse().getMessageBody());
}
store last response into 'errorMessage' variable.
