  • 1.  Unable to send POST REST API Call -Notification: DNS Failure

    Posted Feb 13, 2020 05:47 PM
    I am working on a project which needs me to do REST based call (JSON Response). My test case acts as a driver hence have created a scheduler where initial authentication generates a token and then this is used for the next POST call. My Authentication call is working without any issues and getting a token generated, however the API call is failed saying "503 - Service Unavailable".

    However, when I hit the same API with the newly generated token via PostMan, its working and giving 200 Success response. 

    I am able to ping the server too [ping slot3.org009.t-dev.corp.telstra.com] and getting a success response from command line prompt. 

    I have also given the proxy setup at the step level(in the Companions section of the step) but it is still failing. 

    Below is the error in the 'Test Events':
    <p>
    The host name resolution (DNS lookup) for this host name
    (&nbsp;slot2.org009.t-dev.corp.telstra.com&nbsp;) has failed. The Internet address may be misspelled or obsolete,
    the host (&nbsp;slot2.org009.t-dev.corp.telstra.com&nbsp;) may be temporarily unavailable,
    or the DNS server may be unresponsive.
    </p>

    If you are using Server name, you can try using IPaddress and see if it works.

    If not, here are few things, I would try.
    . Instead of Ping try the Telnet to the Server/IPaddress on Port and see you are able to connect or not.
    . In Workstation assuming you are setting the valid Token in your test case, enable HTTPS/Debug in the Help menu.
    . Run the Test case in ITR, so companion will be executed (don't execute the step, as companion will not be applied).

    Check the SSL Debug, if it throws any handshake failures on TLS version, then you can try setting https.protocols=TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1 in Workstation local.properties. Restart Workstation and re test the issue.

    Thanks for the swift response. 

    I have already done the below:

    . In Workstation assuming you are setting the valid Token in your test case, enable HTTPS/Debug in the Help menu.
    . Run the Test case in ITR, so companion will be executed (don't execute the step, as companion will not be applied).
    Check the SSL Debug, if it throws any handshake failures on TLS version, then you can try setting https.protocols=TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1 in Workstation local.properties. Restart Workstation and re test the issue.

    I have added -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1,SSLv3 in all the vmoptions files (vse, simulator, workstation etc)

    In our project we dont use local.properties and its _local.properties. Do you recommend we use local.properties?
    Also, will try out the telnet option that you have recommended. 

    In PostMan, when I checked the proxy setting, it is set to default System setup:

    Hi,

     

    Check the docs, _local.properties is just an example properties file, it is not read/used by any of the DevTest components.

     

    Instead, copy _local.properties to local.properties and add customizations there. Then restart any needed component.

     

    Cheers,

    Danny
