Request Method

The following assertions can be performed on request variable offered by the Touchstone Rules-Engine.

They would validate the request method. These assertions would make sense in Peer-to-Peer testing.

• assertRequestMethodEquals(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the method of the request matches the provided expectedValue

  • Example:

    request.assertRequestMethodEquals("GET")
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertRequestMethodEquals("GET", request)
    

    // expected method and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertRequestMethod("GET", "equals", request)
    

    assert request.getMethod()=="GET": "The actual value \""+request.getMethod()+"\" did not
       match the expected value \"GET\" for HTTP method in request"
    

    assert equals("GET", request.getMethod()): "The actual value \""+request.getMethod()+"\"
       did not match the expected value \"GET\" for HTTP method in request"
    

• assertRequestMethodNotEquals(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the method of the request does not match the provided expectedValue

  • Example:

    request.assertRequestMethodNotEquals("PUT")
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertRequestMethodNotEquals("PUT", request)
    

    // expected method and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertRequestMethod("PUT", "notEquals", request)
    

    assert request.getMethod()!="PUT": "The actual value \""+request.getMethod()+"\" matched
       the expected value \"PUT\" for HTTP method with operator 'notEquals' in request"
    

    assert notEquals("PUT", request.getMethod()): "The actual value \""+request.getMethod()
       +"\" matched the expected value \"PUT\" for HTTP method with operator 'notEquals'
          in request"
    

• assertRequestMethodIn(expectedValues)

  • Asserts that the method of the request is one of the provided expectedValues where each value is separated by a comma.

  • Example:

    request.assertRequestMethodIn("POST, PUT")
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertRequestMethodIn("POST, PUT", request)
    

    // expected method and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertRequestMethod("POST, PUT", "in", request)
    

    assert request.getMethod() in ["GET, PUT"]: "Expected one of the values in [GET, PUT] for
       HTTP method but encountered \""+request.getMethod()+"\" in request"
    

    assert isIn("GET, PUT", request.getMethod()): "Expected one of the values in [GET, PUT] for
       HTTP method but encountered \""+request.getMethod()+"\" in request"
    

• assertRequestMethodNotIn(expectedValues)

  • Asserts that the method of the request is none of the provided expectedValues where each value is separated by a comma.

  • Example:

    request.assertRequestMethodNotIn("POST, PUT")
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertRequestMethodNotIn("POST, PUT", request)
    

    // expected method and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertRequestMethod("POST, PUT", "notIn", request)
    

    assert !(request.getMethod() in ["POST", "PUT"]): "Expected none of the values in [POST, PUT] for
       HTTP method but encountered \""+request.getMethod()+"\" with operator 'notIn' in request"
    

    assert isNotIn("POST, PUT", request.getMethod()): "Expected none of the values in [POST, PUT] for
       HTTP method but encountered \""+request.getMethod()+"\" with operator 'notIn' in request"
