Sending request using single step.

Sending request using single step.

I send “(GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE|HEAD)” request to “([^”]*)" with body and headers: #

This steps allows to send HTTP(s) request.

First argument send "(GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE|HEAD)" request is one of well known HTTP request methods.

Second argument to "([^"]*)" with should be full valid URL. Argument accepts template values. For example to "{{.MY_APP_URL}}/api/user" with or to "https://www.example.com" with. Of course {{.MY_APP_URL}} should be previously saved in scenario cache.

Last argument, should be Docstring in form of YAML or JSON with keys: body, headers. For example

    """
    {
        "body": {
            "firstName": "{{.RANDOM_FIRST_NAME}}",
            "lastName": "{{.RANDOM_LAST_NAME}}",
            "age": {{.RANDOM_AGE}}
        },
        "headers": {
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        }
    }
    """

or YAML equivalent

"""
---
body:
  firstName: "{{.RANDOM_FIRST_NAME}}"
  lastName: "{{.RANDOM_LAST_NAME}}"
  age: {{.RANDOM_AGE}}
headers:
  Content-Type: application/json
"""

Example:

    When I send "DELETE" request to "{{.MY_APP_URL}}/users/{{.USER_ID}}" with body and headers:
    """
    {
        "body": {},
        "headers": {
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        }
    }
    """
