Re: Is there any way to retrieve the database-generated id of a created record during a test case?
Thanks for the reply. I am only at the beginning of my investigation into what ReadyAPI can do for me. It's an API that does CRUD. The basic start point is the Create bit. There is an API for that which accepts a body in a POST command. That's fine and it returns a database model of the record inserted, one field of which is an auto-generated ID. The workflow I'm after in my test case in ReadyAPI is: Have a step that calls the "Create" endpoint. Read the returned response body and extract the "ID" field from the json body in there Use that ID to do an update which calls the "Update" endpoint repeat for other steps The bit I'm stuck on is how do I get the ID out of the response body. Is this something to do with the PropertyTransfer step I can see in the available steps? The Json response I get is: { "id": 2, "name": "Australia", "routingPlan": "Australia", "createdAt": "2019-11-18T11:09:13.7998173Z", "createdUser": "User 1", "updatedUser": null } ...so I'd like to be able to store that "id" property after the create step and use it in several further steps. Edit: Just saw Richie's reply which must have arrived as I was typing this one. I'll look into that richie thanks1.8KViews0likes2CommentsIs there any way to retrieve the database-generated id of a created record during a test case?
Just getting started with ReadyAPI. I have a set of REST Apis that handle CRUD operations on a table. I have a test case in my mind where I create a record, store the id returned, update the record, delete the record and finally use the id to read and assert a not found. I am probably simply using the wrong search terms, but I can't find any way yet to do the crucial first part - store the id after calling the "create" API.Solved1.9KViews0likes5Comments
