Auto-formatting RestAssured test cases in my IDE

[Maciej Gawinecki]

Hi,

We have our tests implemented in RestAssured, using nice and readable
convention of indentation for given/when/then parts.

given().
  param("key1", "value1").
  param("key2", "value2").
when().
  post("/somewhere").
then().
  body(containsString("OK"));

However, when I apply automatic formatting with template (Google code
style for Java) in Intellij IDEA, the formatting I had gets destroyed.

given().
        param("key1", "value1").
        param("key2", "value2").
        when().
        post("/somewhere").
        then().
        body(containsString("OK"));

Is there a way my IDE or maven formats RestAssured statements with
expected indentations, while the rest keeps with respect to the Google
template? Or at least, it doesn't destroy what I have set for
RestAssured statements?

What I found so far is to disable formatting for certain sections:

1. Surround the code fragment with

     // @formatter:off
     ...
     // @formatter:on

2. Preferences -> Code Style -> General -> Formatter Control -> Enable
formatter markers in comments

Thanks,
Maciej

I haven't found a good solution for it. I mainly use @formatter:off / on if necessary. Would be nice to come up with a better solution.

Just getting spun up with Rest-Assured and wanted to second the original poster's question, since it'd been awhile.

How do folks handle formatting their Rest-Assured code? (And making sure that format stays consistent across a team)

[Johan Haleby]

I don't have any updates on this unfortunately. Personally I either just don't format or use @formatter:off. Would be interesting if you could ask the same question to JetBrains?

That's a good idea, I'll see if I can't find a good way to ask this of the community and link back to it here. Have folks had any luck doing this with any other IDEs?

I have the same problem with RestAssured and IntelliJ. The only solution that I found is not to use the formatter :(

Sorry, there was a mistake in my previous post (you have to use expect() instead of then() with this approach):

private final RequestSpecification scenario = given();

@Test
public void test() throws IOException {
    scenario.given()
            .param("name", "John")
            .param("age", 21);

    scenario.expect()
            .statusCode(201);

    scenario.when()
            .post("/register");

}

Another possible workaround:

private final RequestSpecification request = given();
private ValidatableResponse response;

@Test
public void test() {
    GIVEN(s -> s

            .param("name", "John")
            .param("age", 21)

    );

    WHEN(s -> s.post("register"));

    THEN(r -> r.statusCode(201));
}

private void GIVEN(Consumer<RequestSpecification> spec) {
    spec.accept(request);
}

private void WHEN(Function<RequestSpecification, Response> spec) {
    response = spec.apply(request).then();
}

private void THEN(Consumer<ValidatableResponse> spec) {
    spec.accept(response);
}
