I have used C and done much work with Unix internals over 20 years, but am very
new to programing and testing with html, java, xml, XPath, ... type web
services. I am attempting to use WebTest to validate some new RESTful APIs. In
doing this I have run into what I'm sure is a very basic problem that many of
you could easily handle.
I have the following test file to do a login using a RESTful uri endpoint. I
can do the login, but I have not seen how I can verify the returned statusCode
nor how I can get the returned session ID to use as an input for other endpoint
calls I will be testing. I would simply like to know what I have to do to
verify the statusCode then get and save the session ID so I can use it later.
I'm thinking I need to perhaps use the verifyXPath with something like:
<verifyXPath
description="Get the status
code"
regex="false"
text="200"
xpath="//[EMAIL
PROTECTED]'200']"
/>
but I'm not positive as I have not gotten this to work. All suggestions would
be appreciated.
My tests/loginValidUser.xml file contains:
-----------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE project SYSTEM "../dtd/Project.dtd">
<project name="loginValidUser" default="test">
<target name="test">
<webtest name="Login valid User">
<steps>
<invoke
url="http://10.0.1.1:8080/identity/v1/login"; username="jon" password="1234pass"
description="Login valid user"/>
<!-- I want to be able to verify the statusCode from this operation is 200
If it is then I want to be able to to get the session ID, store it in a
variable to use in other tests
Then proceed to the next step.
If the statusCode is not 200 I should just fail and stop all tests at this
point.
-->
</steps>
</webtest>
</target>
</project>
-----------
The response I receive to the file
results/001_LoginValidUser/001_response_invoke.xml when doing the invoke above
is:
-----------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><identity
xmlns="http://10.0.1.1/identity/v1"; xmlns:fsapi-v1="http://10.0.1.1/v1";
version="1.0.20071219.0" statusMessage="OK" statusCode="200"><session
id="434DF084FA5968055B802AF6F4073725" /></identity>
-----------
Again, thanks for any help you may be able to provide me to get past this
initial road block.
Doug
