Response Code

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

They would validate the response status code. See Status Code Definitions and List of HTTP status codes.

• assertResponseCodeEquals(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the status code of the response matches the provided expectedValue

  • Example:

    response.assertResponseCodeEquals(200)
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertResponseCodeEquals(200, response)
    

    // expected status code and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertResponseCode(200, "equals", response)
    

    assert response.responseCodeInt==200: "The actual value \""+response.responseCodeInt+"\"
       did not match the expected value \"200\" for response code in response"
    

    assert equals(200, response.responseCode): "The actual value \""+response.responseCode+"\"
       did not match the expected value \"200\" for response code in response"
    

    assert equals(200, responseCode): "The actual value \""+responseCode+"\"
       did not match the expected value \"200\" for response code in response"
    

    Note that in the last example above, we’re using the responseCode binding directly. See Bindings.

• assertResponseCodeNotEquals(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the status code of the response does not match the provided expectedValue

  • Example:

    response.assertResponseCodeNotEquals(200)
    

  • Equivalent to these:

    assertResponseCodeNotEquals(200, response)
    

    // expected status code and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
    assertResponseCode(200, "notEquals", response)
    

    assert response.responseCodeInt==200: "The actual value \""+response.responseCodeInt+"\"
       matched the expected value \"200\" for response code with operator 'notEquals' in response"
    

    assert notEquals(200, response.responseCode): "The actual value \""+response.responseCode+"\"
       matched the expected value \"200\" for response code with operator 'notEquals' in response"
    

    assert notEquals(200, responseCode): "The actual value \""+response.responseCode+"\"
       matched the expected value \"200\" for response code with operator 'notEquals' in response"
    

• assertResponseCodeGreaterThan(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the status code of the response is greater than the provided expectedValue

  • Example:

    response.assertResponseCodeGreaterThan(399)
    

  • Equivalent to each of these:

    • assertResponseCodeGreaterThan(399, response)
      

      // expected status code and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
      assertResponseCode(399, "greaterThan", response)
      

    • assert response.responseCodeInt > 399: "Expected response code to be greater than 399 but was
            "+response.responseCodeInt+" in response"
      

    • assert greaterThan(399, response.responseCode) : "Expected response code to be greater than 399
         but was "+response.responseCode+" in response"
      

• assertResponseCodeLessThan(expectedValue)

  • Asserts that the status code of the response is less than the provided expectedValue

  • Example:

    response.assertResponseCodeLessThan(300)
    

  • Equivalent to each of these:

    • assertResponseCodeLessThan(300, response)
      

      // expected status code and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
      assertResponseCode(300, "lessThan", response)
      

    • assert response.responseCodeInt < 300: "Expected response code to be less than 300 but was
            "+response.responseCodeInt+" in response"
      

    • assert lessThan(300, response.responseCode) : "Expected response code to be less than 300
         but was "+response.responseCode+" in response"
      

• assertResponseCodeIn(expectedValues)

  • Asserts that the status code of the response is one of the provided expectedValues where each value is separated by a comma.

  • Example:

    // Asserts that the response code is either 200 or 201
    response.assertResponseCodeIn("200,201")
    

  • Equivalent to each of these:

    • assertResponseCodeIn("200,201", response)
      

      // expected status code and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
      assertResponseCode("200,201", "in", response)
      

    • assert isIn("200,201", response.responseCode): "Expected one of the values in [200, 201]
         for response code but encountered \""+response.responseCode+"\" in response"
      

• assertResponseCodeNotIn(expectedValues)

  • Asserts that the status code of the response is none of the provided expectedValues where each value is separated by a comma.

  • Example:

    // Asserts that the response code is neither 200 nor 201
    response.assertResponseCodeNotIn("200,201")
    

  • Equivalent to each of these:

    • assertResponseCodeNotIn("200,201", response)
      

      // expected status code and operator can be passed as parameters from test script.
      assertResponseCode("200,201", "notIn", response)
      

    • assert isNotIn("200,201", response.responseCode): "Expected none of the values in [200, 201]
         for response code but encountered \""+response.responseCode+"\" with operator 'notIn' in response"
