Again - Error in SoapUI, but NOT Postman

Hi,   I have a request that works in Postman but doesn't in SoapUI, and I'm trying to convert all our Postman tests into SoapUI.   The Postman settings are as follows:     POST - https://login...

    Hey!

     

    I got it sorted (finally) thanks to some more reading about the content-type value and help via (https://www.soapui.org/rest-testing/understanding-rest-parameters.html)

     

     

    Within SoapUI

     

    'Mediatype' = x-www-form-urlencoded (ensuring I didn't select 'Post Querystring' checkbox - it doesn't work if I check this)

     

    Postman provided the request body's name/value pairs separated by a colon on separate lines

     

    e.g.

     

     

    password:whatever
username:rich
grant_type:admin

     

    This didn't work in SoapUI so I stuck all the parms in one line in the Request body and separated the parms with an ampersand and replaced the colons with equals signs

     

    e.g.

     

    password=whatever&username=rich&grant_type=admin

     

     

    This worked!

     

    Thanks!

Could not go thru the details. WIll check it.

By the way, you do not want to show the real credentials in Public. If that is by mistake, edit the question to mock them.

yeah - I wasn't fussed about displaying the credentials as I thought I'd blanked the domains - but I'd missed a couple of domains so I've re-uploaded the images with the domains blanked and I got the username/passwords altered.

 

Cheers!
