I'm new in testing using Postman and I need to know about testing data type for "date-only".
The assertion below works for string, numeric or integer, but not sure if this also works when using "date-only". Is this a valid assertion?
pm.test('To verify data type of relationshipDescription',function(){
pm.expect(jsonData.relationshipDescription).to.be.a("string");
- - - - this is working
});
pm.test('To verify data type of openDate',function(){
pm.expect(jsonData.openDate).to.be.a("date-only");
- - - but need to check if this one is valid test?
});
You could use the .jsonSchema() method to assert against the type's format. I don't know what your response body is so this is just an example:
{
"openDate": "2020-04-16T08:15:00+00:00"
}
Your test script would look something like this:
let schema = {
"type": "object",
"required": [
"openDate"
],
"properties": {
"openDate": {
"type": "string",
"format": "date-time"
}
}
}
pm.test("Schema Check", function () {
let jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.expect(jsonData).to.have.jsonSchema(schema);
});
It's using the date-time format from the JSON Schema spec - This requires the date and time to fall within a specific format.

i'm newbie here and newbie also using postman.
I'm trying to use environments to store values from responses and use them to the next request. I found some examples on the web and i use them.
I managed to store the first value in a environment but not the 2nd, 3rd, in the same request. I tried many different ways to write the tests but without success
My tests' code is this:
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("clientID", jsonData.LoginClientID);
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("COMPANY", jsonData.objs.data[0].LoginCompan
Response was this:
{
"success": true,
"clientID": "abcd",
"objs": [
{
"COMPANY": "1",
"BRANCH": "1",
"MODULE": "0",
}
],
"ver": "5.00.518.11143"
}
Running the POST request the value of clientID is stored in enviroment's value but not COMPANY
Any advice ?
Thanks Eddie
Just remove the data part of the code when setting the variable. You're just after the list of items in that objs array, not sure where data comes into it.
For example, from your code:
jsonData.objs[0].LoginCompan

I'm using Postman's console to display the response of the API Call with console.log, I'm using the runner since I have a lot of iterations. However, a lot of information from the API response are giving me trouble, so I would like to do is to print with console.log specific information of the responseBody.
As test with Postman, I'm using the following:
var body = JSON.parse(responseBody);
console.log(JSON.stringify(body.data));
The response is:
[{"device":"1BED7","time":1505320342,"data":"05b006bcac00000000000000","snr":"21.00","linkQuality":"AVERAGE","seqNumber":555,"rinfos":[{"tap":"A2A","delay":1.4,"lat":"53.0","lng":"2.0"},{"tap":"A2B","delay":0.5,"lat":"53.0","lng":"2.0"}]},{"device":"1CED7","time":1505277142,"data":"05b006bcac00000000000000","snr":"20.68","linkQuality":"AVERAGE","seqNumber":554,"rinfos":[{"tap":"A2C","delay":1.3,"lat":"53.0","lng":"2.0"},{"tap":"232","delay":1.9,"lat":"53.0","lng":"2.0"}]},{"device":"152C3","time":1505233937,"data":"05b006bcac00000000000000","snr":"19.14","linkQuality":"AVERAGE","seqNumber":553,"rinfos":[{"tap":"215","delay":2.4,"lat":"53.0","lng":"2.0"}]},{"device":"1BF81","time":1505190735,"data":"05b006bcac00000000000000","snr":"21.67","linkQuality":"AVERAGE","seqNumber":552,"rinfos":[{"tap":"1CC","delay":2.0,"lat":"53.0","lng":"2.0"},{"tap":"25A","delay":1.6,"lat":"53.0","lng":"2.0"}]},
What I would want to print with console.log would be only the values of device, time and data:
{"1BED7",1505320342,"05b006bcac00000000000000"},{"1CED7",1505277142,"05b006bcac00000000000000"},{"152C3",1505233937,"05b006bcac00000000000000"},
and so on...
My programming skills are very limited so sorry if the answer is so obvious, I have tested a lot of things but I'm still stuck.
Thanks a lot if you can help
I think your your response is array of objects.It is already a json object.So firstly what you are doing wrong is you don't need to parse it.You can directly use it.Check this below code snippet at the end of the answer.I think this satisfies your need.I used the forEach function to iterate through the the response array and push value that you need into the empty array.This result array contains object in following format.you can access each property of each object of this array by javascript . operator.I think that is quite obvious to you.

console.log(array);
let results = _.map(JSON.parse(responseBody),

// results contains an array like

console.log(results);
I can't get the correct way to parse this JSON using ArduinoJson library
Here is the resulting json I need to parse.
{
"Error": false,
"Message": "Success",
"Sensor": [
{
"id": 10,
"mac_address": "aabbccddeeff",
"status": "ON"
}
]
}
May target value to get is the value of "status"
I tried to get some value and println it, but I got nothing?
Codes I tried so far.
StaticJsonBuffer<100> jsonBuffer;
HTTPClient http;
http.begin(path);
int httpCode = http.GET();
String payload = http.getString();
JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.parseObject(payload);
String state = root["Sensor"];
Serial.println(payload);
Serial.println(state); //Print request response payload
Upon searching, I found that the author create an assistant to convert your defined json string.
You can find it here
https://bblanchon.github.io/ArduinoJson/assistant/index.html
Sensor is a list with a single object that has your desired property status.
String state = root["Sensor"][0]["status"];
I have a Django (1.8.3) view that:
Makes a GET request to Server A (jetty), which returns JSON data in the body of the response. Then,
Makes a POST to Server B (node.js), passing the JSON data recieved from Server A in the body of the request.
The JSON data is structured like:
{
name: "foo",
details: {
"date": "today",
"isCool": "no",
},
stuff: [
{
"id": "1234",
"rating": "5",
}, {
"id": "5678",
"rating": "1",
},
]
}
But I can't figure out how to get the JSON from Server A's response into the request to Server B in my Django view. If I do this:
jetty_response = requests.request(method='GET', url=jetty_url)
node_response = requests.request(method="POST", url=node_url,
data=jetty_response.json())
I get the JSON object in Server B, but it looks like this:
{
name: "foo",
details: [ "date", "isCool"],
stuff: [ "id", "rating", "id", "rating"]
i.e. the name property is correct, but the details dict is instead received as the keyset of the original dict, and the stuff list is received as a flat array of the keysets in all objects in the original dict.
If I instead do this in django:
node_response = requests.request(method="POST", url=node_url,
data=json.dumps(jetty_response.json()))
I get an empty object in node, and same goes if I do simply:
data=jetty_response.content
How do I make this request??
Figured it out myself.
As is usually the case, the simplest answer:
node_response = requests.request(method="POST", url=node_url,
data=jetty_response.content)
worked fine once I took a closer look at my log and realized my POSTs were bouncing back 413, and then adjusted the size limit on my bodyParser in express.
