Sending XML Response in Rest Post Step

[Legacy User]

I have a test cases where i have a web service step. I am storing the response in a property.

Now i am trying to update test management tool Rally with pass/failure using Rest Step and want to send the stored response however i keep getting parse error.

I am assuming i will need to convert the response into string but cannot find any step for that either.

 

Heres the generic flow

 

1. Web Service Execution Step - Stored the response in property {{StepResponse}}

2 Rest Step Connecting to Rally (Test management tool)

 

{

"TestCaseResult":

{"TestCase":"/testcase/57521201028",

"Build":"101",

"Date":"{{Timestamp}}",

"TestSet":"",

"Notes":"{{StepResponse}}",

"Verdict":"Fail"}

}

 

Here's the error i got

 

{"CreateResult": {

    "Errors": ["Cannot parse input stream due to I/O error as JSON document: Parse error: expected '}' but saw '1' [ chars read = >>>{\"TestCaseResult\":{\"TestCase\":\"/testcase/57521201028\",\"Build\":\"101\",\"Date\":\"2016-06-16T11:22:24-0500\",\"TestSet\":\"\",\"Notes\":\"<?xml version=\"1<<< ]"],

    "_rallyAPIMinor": "0",

    "_rallyAPIMajor": "2",

    "Warnings": []

}}

use this til you get the json doc right..

http://codebeautify.org/jsonvalidate

 

the problem is the " inside the xml document.  I might change these to &quot;

Thanks for response but the issue is not with json document but how can i sent the captured response in rest post. I need to send the error as it is for reporting ........

[sdetweil1.1]

the problem is you are getting a parse error on the json with the xml embedded.. it is STILL a JSON document

 

 

{

"TestCaseResult":

{"TestCase":"/testcase/57521201028",

"Build":"101",

"Date":"today",

"TestSet":"",

"Notes":"<xml value="1"",

"Verdict":"Fail"}

}

 

notice the ="1"", the extra double quotes will cause a parse problem..

which is what the error said

 

"Errors": ["Cannot parse input stream due to I/O error as JSON document: Parse error: expected '}' but saw '1' [ chars read = >>>{\"TestCaseResult\":{\"TestCase\":\"/testcase/57521201028\",\"Build\":\"101\",\"Date\":\"2016-06-16T11:22:24-0500\",\"TestSet\":\"\",\"Notes\":\"<?xml version=\"1

so how can i convert it to string. is there an existing step or do i need to write custom step ........

You could Base64 encode StepResponse & using the encoded value in your rest step

[sdetweil1.1]

yeh, depends on what the receiver of the message is going to do with that content

[Prem Bairoliya]

Try using the following payload

 

{

"TestCaseResult":

{"TestCase":"/testcase/57521201028",

"Build":"101",

"Date":"{{Timestamp}}",

"TestSet":"",

"Notes":"{{=StepResponse.replace("\"","\\\"")}}",

"Verdict":"Fail"}

}
