How to post complex XML using rest assured












5















Using rest-assured we can easily perform GET, POST and other methods. In the example below we are sending a POST to an API that returns a JSON response.



@Test
public void reserveARide()
{
given().
header("Authorization", "abcdefgh-123456").
param("rideId", "gffgr-3423-gsdgh").
param("guestCount", 2).
when().
post("http://someWebsite/reserveRide").
then().
contentType(ContentType.JSON).
body("result.message", equalTo("success"));
}


But I need to create POST request with complex XML body.
Body example:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request protocol="3.0" version="xxx" session="xxx">
<info1 param1="xxx" version="xxx" size="xxx" notes="xxx"/>
<info2 param1="xxx" version="xxx" size="xxx" notes="xxx"/>
</request>


How can I do this?
Thank you in advance

          I keep my bodies in the resources directory, and read them into a string using the following method:



          public static String generateStringFromResource(String path) throws IOException {

          return new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(path)));

          }


          Then in my request I can say



          String myRequest = generateStringFromResource("path/to/xml.xml")

          given()
          .contentType("application/xml")
          .body(myRequest)
          .when()
          .put("my.url/endpoint/")
          .then()
          statusCode(200)

            I believe you can simply do this:



            given().
            contentType("application/xml").
            body(yourbody).
            ...
            ...


            You can also send serializable objects see:
