Chai-http [POST] 不允许在 bodyParameters 上发送数组（API 测试和 Javascript）

Question

I have found this kind of weird behavior in my test case.

Let's recreate the scenario

I do have 2 classes:

API.ts -> which refers to the class where I'm creating the requests.

API-op.ts -> which refers to the class where I'm validating through asserts, expects etc.

Context: There are some dependencies between the methods. I mean, If I want to publish I need first an ID, that ID becomes from a method called postCreateId. Once I have the response body, I'm using that ID to be passed on my postPublishArt method

So.

I have this method on API.ts

public postPublishArt(token: any, Id: any) {
    return chai.request(URLBASE)
        .post(URI)
        .set({ Authorization: "Bearer " + token })
        .send({
            id: Id
        })
}

So, I'm calling that method on API-op.ts like this:

 public async postPublish() { var accessToken = undefined; return this.chaiClass.generateToken().then(async (response) => { accessToken = response.body.AccessToken; return this.chaiArt.postCreateId(accessToken).then(async (response) => { let id = response.body.id; let array: Array<string> = [id]; return this.chaiArt.postPublishArt(accessToken, array).then(async (response) => { expect(response).to.have.status(201); return response; }).catch(err => { return console.log('Failure', err); }); }); }); }

on Postman the bodyparameter needs to be like this:

 { "ids": [ "d2164919-730a-5fe2-924d-5c14cf36e38c" ] }

Pay attention at square brackets because the body parameter requires that ids keys MUST BE array.

What is the error: Like I need just ONE id passed as an array, once I convert that variable and it is sent to the POST method. the POST method is showing up this error:

text:'{"errors":[{"code":"unexpected-exception","details":{"statusCode":500,"error":"invalid input syntax for type timestamp: \\"0NaN-NaN-NaNTNaN:NaN:NaN.NaN+NaN:NaN\\""}}]}'

I think that issue is about chai-http when you send a POST with ARRAY but just passing one parameter.

Let me know if I'm wrong

ANSWER: There is an issue that sugerAgent is not calling back the send method...
