Can we add any external jar to the REST client GUI?

[Tanusree M]

Hi,

First I want to thank you for the wonderful tool for helping testing the rest web services.

I just started using the RESTClient GUI tool. I found it very interesting. What I'm trying is, 

I'm trying to save my response to a jason file in my local machine, then trying to use JUnit to match the values for each keys from the json file.

Now when I'm trying to import some external libs I'm getting error.

Here 

I'm getting the following error:

When I imported the import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;

import org.json.simple.JSONArray;

import org.json.simple.JSONObject; in eclipse, I added external jars but I don't know if I can do that for the RESTClient GUI tool.

Pls advice me.

My Test code for the response which I wrote in the Test area of the GUI

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileReader;

import java.io.FileWriter;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.InputStream;

import java.util.Iterator;

import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;

import org.json.simple.JSONArray;

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;

import org.junit.Assert;

import org.wiztools.restclient.RESTTestCase;

import org.wiztools.commons.MultiValueMap;

public class TemplateClassgetminspecTest extends

org.wiztools.restclient.RESTTestCase {

public void testStatus() {

byte[] responseBody = response.getResponseBody();

if ((response.getStatusCode() != 200) || (responseBody == null)) {

fail("Test is failed!");

} else {

try {

String str = new String(responseBody);

File newTextFile = new File("C://RESTResponse/response.txt");

FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(newTextFile);

fw.write(str);

fw.close();

JSONParser parser = new JSONParser();

Object obj = parser.parse(new FileReader(

"C://RESTResponse/response.txt"));

JSONObject jsonObject = (JSONObject) obj;

String Name = (String) jsonObject.get("Name");

assertEquals(Name,"aaab","Name value is wrong");

fail("Test is failed!");

String SSN = (String) jsonObject.get("SSN");

assertEquals(SSN,"432-97-7654","SSNvalue is wrong");

fail("Test is failed!");

}

catch (IOException iox) {

iox.printStackTrace();

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

}

}

}

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards.

Tanusree,

This is a very valid point you have raised. I added this request to our issue tracker:

https://code.google.com/p/rest-client/issues/detail?id=181

I will make sure the next release has some support for external Jars. Till then, I do not even have a workaround :-(

I did a quick fix:

https://code.google.com/p/rest-client/source/detail?r=13b2a87f31aa561501ceff80a1dc59f334d25dad

You will be able to add dependency Jars in ~/.rest-client/lib directory. I plan to include a GUI element to specify external Jars later. Please follow the issue for further updates.

Thanks,

Subhash.
