如何在 Cypress 中使用 JavaScript 在 GET API 的请求正文中发送 XML。 以 JSON 格式发送请求会给出响应，因为输入格式不正确

Question

I am hitting an API and this API returns XML response. JavaScript code in Cypress is as follow -

        describe('Loan Details', ()=>{
     
       it('Get loan details', ()=>{
         cy.request({
         method : 'GET',
         url    : '/services/getLoans/getLoans.aspx',
         headers : {
             'api_user_id' : 'abc',
             'api_password': 'def',
             'loan_id'     : '8411'
         }
     }).then((res)=>{
        expect(res.status).to.eq(200)
        let myxml = Cypress.$.parseXML(res.body)
       cy.log(res.body)
       }) 
     }) 
    })

When I execute this code I am getting following output -

 assert  expected 200 to equal 200
 log   <OUTPUT version="2.1"><ERROR type="NOT_WELL_FORMED">Input was not well formed and xml compliant.</ERROR></OUTPUT>

Therefore I am getting desired response that is 200 (success) from API but in order to validate loan data like loan_type, loan_number for a particular loan_id etc. I am pasting sample API response which we are getting after hitting the GET API.

   <OUTPUT version="2.0">
    <RESPONSE>
    <LOAN_DATA 
        loan_id="8411" 
        loan_number="61036" 
        loan_type="VL" 
        status_code="OK">

Just got to know that input to this should only be in XML format. I am adding input XML as well here for better understanding.

      <INPUT>
           <LOGIN api_user_id="f782481b" api_password="Sn63P73P"/>
            <REQUEST>
               <LOAN loan_id="d023bcf"/>
            </REQUEST>
      </INPUT>

Please help me get this resolved. I was thinking to store the response in a variable/constant and then apply some methods but it did not work.

Answer 1

I tried multiple ways to pass request XML format and finally able to get desired response. Please see below the working code -

   describe('Loan Details', () => {
     it('Info', () => {
     cy.readFile('D:/Cypress/CypressPractice/myRequest.xml')
      .then(text => fetchXML(text))
      .then(response =>{
          expect(response.status).to.eq(200)
          cy.log(response.body)
      })
          
   function fetchXML(text){
       return cy.request({
        method: 'GET',
        url: '/services/getLoans/getLoans.aspx',
        body : text
       })
     }
   })
 })
