Pass a JSON Array for POST request using Rest Assured based on the following JSON

Question

I am new to Rest Assured, Please can someone help me to create the body request from the following output:

{
    "CustomerID": "539177",
    "ReminderTitle": "Demo Reminder Tds",
    "ReminderDescription": "xyz Reminder",
    "ReminderLocation": "New Delhi",
    "ReminderDate": "2020-03-27",
    "ReminderTime": "15:33",
    "attendees": [{
        "CustomerContactID": "122"
    }]
}

Example :

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

body.put("CustomerID", CustomerID);
body.put("ReminderTitle", "Demo Reminder Tds");
body.put("ReminderDescription", "xyz Reminder");
body.put("ReminderLocation", "New Delhi");
body.put("ReminderDate", "2020-03-27");
body.put("ReminderTime", "15:33");

Map<String, Object> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
map.put("CustomerID", "539177");
map.put("ReminderTitle", "Demo Reminder Tds");
map.put("ReminderDescription", "xyz Reminder");
map.put("ReminderLocation", "New Delhi");
map.put("ReminderDate", "2020-03-27");
map.put("ReminderTime", "15:33");
map.put("attendees", Arrays.asList(new LinkedHashMap<String, Object>() {
    {
        put("CustomerContactID", "122");
    }
}));

Use the below to just print out the output ( you don't have to necessarily )

String abc = new ObjectMapper().writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter().writeValueAsString(map);
System.out.println(abc);

And to use it with Rest Assured

given().body(map).when().post()

My CustomerID and CustomerContactID are coming as string so it is not able to pass it correctly. Showing {"status":"0","message":"Invalid format for : CustomerContactID"} String customerIDValue = PropFileHandler.readProperty("CustomerID"); HeaderConfigs header = new HeaderConfigs(); PostAPIBuilders builder = new PostAPIBuilders(); Response response = RestAssured.given().headers(header.defaultHeaders()).body(builder.postCustomerReminder(customerIDValue, CustomerContactID)) .when().post(APIPath.apiPath.CUSTOMERREMINDERAPI);

If you need them as int then just remove the quotes, map.put("CustomerID", 539177) and put("CustomerContactID", 122);The sample JSON you provided had those values as strings so I framed it as is

I am passing it as string.public Map<String, Object> postCustomerReminder(String CustomerID, final String map2){ Map<String, Object> map = new LinkedHashMap<String, Object>(); map.put("CustomerID", CustomerID); map.put("ReminderTitle", "Demo Reminder Tds"); map.put("ReminderDescription", "xyz Reminder"); map.put("ReminderLocation", "New Delhi"); map.put("ReminderDate", "2020-03-27"); map.put("ReminderTime", "15:33"); map.put("attendees", Arrays.asList(new LinkedHashMap<String, Object>() { { put("CustomerContactID", map2); } })); return map; }

What worked for me as well was: JSONObject map = new JSONObject(); map.put("CustomerID", CustomerID); map.put("ReminderTitle", "Demo Reminder Tds"); map.put("ReminderDescription", "xyz Reminder"); map.put("ReminderLocation", "New Delhi"); map.put("ReminderDate", "2020-03-27"); map.put("ReminderTime", "15:33"); map.put("attendees", Arrays.asList(new LinkedHashMap<String, Object>() { { put("CustomerContactID", CustomerContactID); } })); return map;

Rest Assured accepts String objects in .body(String body) method. But for POST and PUT methods only. Check the documentation

Therefore you can just pass the output you received.

        String requestBody = "{ \"CustomerID\" : \"539177\", " +
            "\"ReminderTitle\" : \"Demo Reminder Tds\", " +
            "\"ReminderDescription\" : \"xyz Reminder\", " +
            "\"ReminderLocation\" : \"New Delhi\", " +
            "\"ReminderDate\" : \"2020-03-27\", " +
            "\"ReminderTime\" : \"15:33\", " +
            "\"attendees\" : [{\"CustomerContactID\" : \"122\"}] }";

BUT you have to use escape characters in the output String. Then just pass the requestBody;

    given()
        .body(requestBody)
        .when()
        .post(URL);
