Try to encode URL Path by create custom Library for Robotframework.
For Python V2
import urllib
def encodeUrlPath(s):
return urllib.quote_plus(s)
For Python V3
import urllib.parse
def encodeUrlPath(s):
return urllib.parse.quote_plus(s)
I am trying to api test few APIs using Robot framework. when I try to test api with square brackets it is not getting considered and getting wrong response. Whereas the same api is able to give correct response in POSTMAN.
I have the below API: https://orbit.com/s2e/api/q1/client/?filter[customField.ID]=1003
When I hit in Postman I am getting valid response as
"data": {
"total_count": "1",
"customer": [
{
"id": "123" } ] }
The same API https://orbit.com/s2e/api/q1/client/?filter[customField.ID]=1003 hit in Robot framework gives
"data": {
"total_count": "0",
"customer": [] }
Then I saw various encoding and found to use %5B and %5D instead of [ and ] but that API is working properly in postman but in robotframework, it is giving all data i.e filter not working.
https://orbit.com/s2e/api/q1/client/?filter%5BcustomField.ID%5D=1003 Can anyone guide me here?

module 'urllib' has no attribute 'quote_plus' GOT THIS error
are you using python 3 ?
yes, python 3.7
i have added new answer
@anj the error is because the OS (your DNS actually) cannot resolve the hostname. Looking at the answer, you must probably have passed the full url to the keyword -
https://orbit.com/s2e/etc, right? If so, then it has url-encoded the reserved characters too -/. You need to either pass only the parameters, or this method needs to be redid to be more intelligent.
