[TechCorner Challenge #5] How to Fix Data in the Request Body Before Sending

[sonya_m]

Hi everyone!

The TechCorner challenge is going really well, you are adding so much value by posting scripts here. The ReadyAPI Community is very thankful to everyone participating!

We sometimes need to fix the request body before sending it. There could be multiple reasons for doing so, really. Today, we are challenging you to create a script for such a use case. People will be able to modify it according to their specific needs.

Your task is to create a script that would check data in the request body, find all the white spaces at the end of ID values and delete them before it is sent to the server.

Difficulty: 

JSON example:

{"items":[{
"name":"John",
"password":"12345 "},
{"name":"Mary",
"password":"qwerty"},
{"name":"Sonya",
"password":"0000 "}]
}

Let's go🚀 

(No, my password is not "0000", just to be clear 😂)

This TechCorner challenge is really going great and we all are loving it. Thanks to the Smartbear team for bringing these challenges time to time which helps whole community. 🙂

So, here come the solution of new challenge that is create a script that would check data in the request body, find all the white spaces at the end of ID values and delete them before it is send to the server : 

def req = '''{
  "items": [
    {
      "name": "John",
      "password": "12345 "
    },
    {
      "name": "Mary",
      "password": "qwerty"
    },
    {
      "name": "Sonya",
      "password": "0000 "
    }
  ]
}'''
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper;

def reqModified = new JsonSlurper().parseText(req)
reqModified.items.each{	
	it.each{
		it.value = it.value.trim()
	}	
}
log.info reqModified

Hope it fulfills the requirement 🙂
