Hi,

I'm wondering how to prepare the body of a request and pass it as a string to "callEndpointHttpMethodPost(String url, String body)?

I mean the body usually includes multiple fields in JSON format. I'm not sure how to convert field names and their data and pass it as a string. Is there a sample/example for preparing a POST request with multiple body fields?

Let say the body of a POST request is:

{

"firstName" : "Bob",

"lastName" : "Smith",

"age" : " 40",

"occupation: "Software Engineer"

}

Should I pass the whole thing as a string like "{.......}"?

Thanks

Ali

Hi,

I think you should use serialization POJO to Json via jackson/gson lib. See user guide of rest-assured to get more details.

I'm using the sample serenity-cucumber-api-test code. based on this sample program, you should pass the body from *.feature file as a string. but there is no example to show how you pass the body to the mapping java code.

I haven’t used this but I found an example here. It may help you. See the complex scenario.
