I would like to use Cypress for API testing. My goal is to extract a part of the API response and pass it to another API request. Here's a sample code:
Cypress.Commands.add('createCustomer', () => {
return cy.request({
method: 'POST',
url: 'api/v1/Customers',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: {
// sample content
}
}).then((response) => {
return new Promise(resolve => {
expect(response).property('status').to.equal(201)
expect(response.body).property('id').to.not.be.oneOf([null, ""])
const jsonData = response.body;
const memberId = jsonData.id
resolve(memberId)
return memberId
})
})
})
With this code, I am getting [object%20Object] as the result.
Hoping for some feedback.
So you are adding the id generated by the POST
to a subsequent GET
request?
Try returning the id without using a Promise, I don't think you need one at that point since the response has already arrived.
}).then((response) => {
expect(response).property('status').to.equal(201)
expect(response.body).property('id').to.not.be.oneOf([null, ""])
const jsonData = response.body;
const memberId = jsonData.id;
return memberId;
})
Url for GET
cy.createCustomer().then(id => {
const url = `api/v1/Customers${id}`;
...
or
cy.createCustomer().then($id => {
const id = $id[0]; // Not quite sure of the format, you may need to "unwrap" it
const url = `api/v1/Customers${id}`;
...
It totally worked! Thanks a lot Marion! :)
