How to upload a pdf file using REST Assured?

 If you use this code as mentioned in few other blogs and videos:

 

Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();

headers.put("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");

byte[] fileContent = FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(new File(filePath));

RestAssured.given().headers(headers).body(fileContent).post(url);

 

There are high chances that you will get errors related to content-type or "400 - Request is not a multipart request". So, the solution is to use:

.multiPart("file", new File("/path/to/file"),"application/pdf").

Please note that I have used "application/pdf" as 3rd param in the multiPart method and this value should be passed as per the file type that you are uploading like for the png file it should be "application/octet-stream", for JSON file it should be "application/JSON".

multiPart is an overloaded method that can take max 3 parameters:

 

a) The KEY that identifies the file. Highlighted as "A" below.

b) File object. Highlighted as "B" below.

c) Content-type. Highlighted as "C" below.


.multiPart("A", new File(B), "C")

 

Another NOTE: Rest assured doesn't allow to use .body() and .multiPart() at the same time within it's given() function. And when we use .multiPart(), the content-type automatically get set to "multipart/form-data" unless we override it by providing the 3rd param.

The use of Verbose attribute in testNG or POM.xml (maven-surefire-plugin)

At times, we see some weird behavior in your testNG execution and feel that the information displayed is insufficient and would like to see more details. At other times, the output on the console is too verbose and we may want to only see the errors. This is where a verbose attribute can help you- it is used to define the amount of logging to be performed on the console. The verbosity level is 0 to 10, where 10 is most detailed. Once you set it to 10, you'll see that console output will contain information regarding the tests, methods, and listeners, etc. <suite name="Suite" thread-count="5" verbose="10"> Note* You can specify -1 and this will put TestNG in debug mode. The default level is 0. Alternatively, you can set the verbose level through attribute in "maven-surefire-plugin" in pom.xml, as shown in the image. #testNG #automationTesting #verbose # #testAutomation

Encode/Decode the variable/response using Postman itself

We get a lot of use cases where we may have to implement Base64 encoding and/or decoding while building our APIs. And, if you are wondering if it is possible to encode/decode the variable/response using Postman itself or how to encode/decode the token or password in postman and save it in a variable? To Base64 encode/decode, the quickest way is to use JavaScript methods btoa, atob: atob - It turns base64-encoded ASCII data back to binary. btoa - It turns binary data to base64-encoded ASCII. Sample code : var responseBody = pm.response.json(); var parsedPwd = JSON.parse(atob(responseBody.password)); // presuming password is in the payload pm.collectionVariables.set("password", parsedPwd);
