Error decoding JSON input: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException

[M P RA User]

Hi,

I am a novice to the RestAssured and facing issue while trying to post this json:

 [{

   "$type":"/items/Bundle", 

   "id":"djQ6MTIzNDovaXRlbXMvQnVuZGxlOg:-734003741", 

   "name":"Mital-BundleTest"

}]

@Test()

public void testCreateMyItem() {

given().spec(requestSpec).

    param("$type", "/items/Bundle").

    param("id","djQ6MTIzNDovaXRlbXMvQnVuZGxlOg:-734003741").

    param("name","newname11" ).contentType(ContentType.JSON).when().post().then().assertThat().statusCode(201);

}

I am getting error:

{

    "$type": "/common/Error",

    "type": "input",

    "message": "Error decoding JSON input: com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unexpected character ('%' (code 37)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source: java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@7c57bd0a; line: 1, column: 2]"

}

FAILED: testCreateMyItem

java.lang.AssertionError: Expected status code <201> doesn't match actual status code <400>.

Hi, 

You don't use "param" to send JSON to the server. You supply JSON to the request body, for example by supplied a string, an object to be serialized or a hashmap (see docs).

Hi Johan,

Thanks for your reply! I did try to post json via hashMap in body but still facing deserialization issue. Can you please take a look? Thanks!

@Test(groups = { "ci" }, enabled = true)

public void testCreateBundleItemBody() {

Map<String, Object>  jsonAsMap = new HashMap<>();

RestAssured.defaultParser = Parser.JSON; 

jsonAsMap.put("$type", "/items/Bundle");

jsonAsMap.put("id", "djQ6MTIzNDovaXRlbXMvQnVuZGxlOg:-734003741");

jsonAsMap.put("name", "BundleTest");

given().spec(requestSpec).body(jsonAsMap).contentType(ContentType.JSON).when().post().then().assertThat().statusCode(201);

I can't tell. Either something is wrong with the JSON you send to the server (i.e. perhaps you've misunderstood the protocol) or there's something wrong on the server.

Thank you Johan. You're right. Followed up on this further and it appeared that I was sending additional headers and server couldn't handle those. It is resolved now.
