Form Complex Requests

In this tutorial, we will demonstrate using an HTTP request with special context where we can set cookies and HTTP requests with additional Configuration for redirections and connection timeouts.

1. Create Steps Language File

Right click on the Steps folder -> New -> Steps.

Write ComplexGetRequest in the File name field and click `OK resulting in a new window with a Stepdef and Model template.

Replace the text with the following: 

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13

stepdef "execute cookie-get request"
    cookieStore := Http.newCookieStore()

    // create cookie and add to store
    cookie := Http.newCookie("MyName", "MyAge")
    cookie.setDomain("httpbin.org") // without protocol `http` or `https`
    cookie.setPath("/cookies") // exact slashes are required
    cookieStore.addCookie(cookie)

    // create client
    client := Http.newClient()
    clientContext := Http.newHttpClientContext()
    clientContext.setCookieStore(cookieStore)
    request := Http.get("https://httpbin.org/cookies")
        .build()

    // execute request with given context
    response := client.execute(request, clientContext)
    response.writeToFile(File.fromProject("cookie-get-response.txt"))
end

stepdef "execute no redirect request"
    // build no redirect configuration
    requestConfiguration := Http.configure()
        .setRedirectsEnabled(false) // set true to see HTTP/1.1 200
        .setConnectTimeout(100000)
        .build()
    request := Http.get("https://httpbin.org/redirect/6")
        .setConfig(requestConfiguration)
        .build()
    response := Http.executeHttpRequest(request)
    println(response.getStatusLine())
    response.writeToFile(File.fromProject("no-redirect-response.txt"))
end

Note
This time our file contains two Stepdefs.

2. Create Feature File

Right click on the features folder -> New -> Feature.

Write ComplexGetRequest in the File name field, Complex Get Request in the Scenario name and click OK.

Replace the Feature File template with the following text: 

1
2
3
4
5
Feature: ComplexGetRequests
  Scenario: Complex Get Requests
    # Execution
    And execute cookie-get request
    And execute no redirect request

Execute the Feature File by right-clicking on the Feature file -> Run..., which will create a file called cookie-get-response.txt in the project root directory.

The file will contain the following: 

1
2
3
4
5
{
  "cookies": {
    "MyName": "MyAge"
  }
}

Another file called no-redirect-response.txt will also be located in the project root directory after the execution: 

1
2
3
4
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<p>You should be redirected automatically to target URL: <a href="/relative-redirect/5">/relative-redirect/5</a>.  If not click the link.

Look for HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND in the execution output at the bottom of intaQt Studio.

Your project structure should now look like this:
