Hi 

i found one workaround for the problem. We are getting null output for mockRequest.getRequestContent() for PUT request

 

The workaround would be to use the following code

 

InputStream is = mockRequest.request.inputStream
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder()
while((s=br.readLine())!=null) {
sb.append(s)
}
String payLoad = sb.toString()
log.info payLoad

NOT WORKS. I am using the ReadyAPI v 2.8.

 

I am unable to read request body.. So unable to return valid response to my Application under test =  I am unable to test it = unable to use this tool for testing.

 

This topic is here sooo loooong.. And no solution? I am surprised. So nobody from SmartBear was working on it? It means, that we are paing for licenses, but no effect?

 

Please can somebody tell me, how to read POST body request ? because I must return some string value from it back to AUT..

    HI vikititor,

     

    In the Dispatch script, a request content can be retrieved as follows:

    mockRequest.getRequestContent()

    In the latest ReadyAPI version it works for POST, PUT and the other supported HTTP methods.

     

    Please check the screenshot:

     

    Please double-check your configuration and if it still does not work for you as expected, submit a new support case: https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=ReadyAPI

      OK, OK.. on this place dispacher script this works... 

      But before I will send the response, I need create it.. How to transform readed value from this script to the response script? 

       

      Because I just tryed on response script, where this was really not working. 

      This is my needs. 

      * read request send to MOCK server, parse some values

      * prepare response to AUT using this values

      * solution must be thread save, because my AUT sends a lot of requests per seccond. I can not use properties..
