如何使用 REST 将 JSON 数组放入 HTTP PUT 调用中？

Question

Am using rest assured to test an API which requires me to conduct an HTTP PUT with a JSON array, for the request body, which only looks like this:

["6", "7", "8", "9", "10"]

Please note that this doesn't require the opening and closing { } - just the square brackets.

MyApiRestTest.java:

public class MyApiRestTest {
 
      private static final String BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8080/ams/rest";
      private static final String TOKEN = "AMIIinPiyPqMpViABA41HL8xTSsf";

      private static RequestSpecification requestSpec;

      @BeforeAll
      public static void setUpHeaders() {
          RequestSpecBuilder builder = new RequestSpecBuilder();
          builder.addHeader("Token", TOKEN);
          builder.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
          builder.addHeader("Accept", "application/json");
          requestSpec = builder.build();
          requestSpec.config(RestAssured.config().objectMapperConfig(new ObjectMapperConfig(ObjectMapperType.GSON)));
      }


      @Test
      @DisplayName("PUT /v1/uids/{public-id}")
      public void updateUids() {
          String publicId = "ABCD786EFGH45";

          List<String> uids = new ArrayList<>();

          uids.add("6");
          uids.add("7");
          uids.add("8");
          uids.add("9");
          uids.add("10");

          given().spec(requestSpec)
               .pathParam("public-id", publicId)
               .body(uids)
          .when()
               .put(BASE_URL + "/v1/uids/{public-id}")
               .then()
               .statusCode(200);
      }

}

When I run this, I get the following error:

java.lang.AssertionError: 1 expectation failed.
Expected status code <200> but was <404>.

Tried using different variations / approaches of this JSON array by doing this:

First approach:

String jsonArray = "[\"6\", \"7\", \"8\", \"9\", \"10\"]";

and subsequently:

given().spec(requestSpec)
       .pathParam("public-id", publicId)
       .body(jsonArray)
.when()
       .put(BASE_URL + "/v1/uids/{public-id}")
       .then()
       .statusCode(200);

---

Second approach:

Using String[] uidsArray = {"6", "7", "8", "9", "10"};

and subsequently:

given().spec(requestSpec)
       .pathParam("public-id", publicId)
       .body(uidsArray)
.when()
       .put(BASE_URL + "/v1/uids/{public-id}")
       .then()
       .statusCode(200);

Both variations give me the same exact error as the one that provided in the full source listing (see above):

java.lang.AssertionError: 1 expectation failed.
Expected status code <200> but was <404>.

What am I possibly doing wrong?

Answer 1

A 404 error means your resource was not found, which would indicate that the URL is incorrect rather than any issue with the request body content.

Answer 2

It may be about the URL, I can see it is BASE_URL + "/v1/uids/{public-id}" . I think you want {public-id} to become an id when it executes, but it does not. Replace that part with the string form of the actual id may solve your issue.
