Content-Type

The following assertions can be performed on both request and response variables offered by the Touchstone Rules-Engine.

They would validate the Content-Type header in the request or response.

• assertContentTypeContains(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the header ‘Content-Type’ contains the provided value

  • Example:

    response.assertContentTypeContains("xml")
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertContentTypeContains("xml", response)
    

    // expectedValue and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertContentType("xml", "contains", request)
    

    assert response.header("Content-Type").contains("json"): "The actual
       value \""+response.header('Content-Type')?.value +"\" did not contain
          the expected value \"json\" for 'Content-Type' header in response."
    

    Notice that the raw value of the ‘Content-Type’ header can be grabbed using:

    response.header('Content-Type')?.value
    

• assertContentTypeNotContains(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the header ‘Content-Type’ does not contain the provided value

  • Example:

    response.assertContentTypeNotContains("xml")
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertContentTypeNotContains("xml", response)
    

    // expectedValue and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertContentType("xml", "notContains", request)
    

    assert response.header("Content-Type").notContains("xml"): "The actual
       value \""+response.header('Content-Type')?.value +"\" contained the
          expected value \"xml\" for 'Content-Type' header with operator
             'notContains' in response."
    

• assertContentTypeEquals(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the value of header ‘Content-Type’ matches the provided value

  • Example:

    response.assertContentTypeEquals("application/fhir+json;charset=UTF-8")
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertContentTypeEquals("application/fhir+json;charset=UTF-8", response)
    

    // expectedValue and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertContentType("application/fhir+json;charset=UTF-8", "equals", request)
    

    assert response.header("Content-Type").equals("application/fhir+json;charset=UTF-8"): "The
       actual value \""+response.header('Content-Type')?.value +"\" did not match the
       expected value \"application/fhir+json;charset=UTF-8\" for 'Content-Type' header in response"
    

• assertContentTypeNotEquals(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the value of header ‘Content-Type’ does not match the provided value

  • Example:

    response.assertContentTypeNotEquals("application/fhir+xml")
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertContentTypeNotEquals("application/fhir+xml", response)
    

    // expectedValue and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertContentType("application/fhir+xml", "notEquals", request)
    

    assert response.header("Content-Type").notEquals("application/fhir+xml"): "The actual
       value \""+response.header('Content-Type')?.value +"\" matched the expected value
        \"application/fhir+xml\" for 'Content-Type' header with operator 'notEquals'
          in response."
