retry post request

[Lalith Choudary]

Hi Johan/Group,

How r u guys handling retry logic for a post call? I have a non user facing API(basically test mock) which is ok to retry if call fails. Right now I am looping in x times until there is 200 response. Is there a better way to handle such cases?

-thanks for your time,

Lalith

That's one way but you should also be able to instruct Apache HTTP Client to retry by setting a DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler (please google for this yourself). You can then set a custom HTTP Client instance by creating a HttpClientFactory and pass it into the com.jayway.restassured.config.HttpClientConfig. For example:

HttpClientFactory myHttpClientFactory = ..

given().config(RestAssured.config().httpClientConfig(httpClientConfig().httpClientFactory(myHttpClientFactory)). ..

Hi, 

I implemented the following but I am not able to check if it's working or not. Could anyone please advice where can I check if it retried using logs or any thing else.

HttpClientConfig.HttpClientFactory htc = new HttpClientConfig.HttpClientFactory(){

@Override

public HttpClient createHttpClient(){

DefaultHttpClient d = new DefaultHttpClient();

        d.setHttpRequestRetryHandler(new DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler(restRetryCount, true));

        return d;

}

};

RestAssuredConfig rac = RestAssured.config().httpClient(HttpClientConfig.httpClientConfig().httpClientFactory(htc));

Please advice.

Thanks,

Rohan
