Report Portal logger for REST Assured

Report Portal logger for REST Assured

The latest version: 5.3.4. Please use Maven Central link above to get the logger.

Overview

REST Assured Request/Response logger for Report Portal

The logger intercept and logs all Requests and Responses issued by REST Assured into Report Portal in Markdown format, including multipart requests. It recognizes payload types and attach them in corresponding manner: image types will be logged as images with thumbnails, binary types will be logged as entry attachments, text types will be formatted and logged in Markdown code blocks.

Configuration

Build system configuration

You need to add the logger as one of your dependencies in Maven or Gradle.

Maven

pom.xml

<project>
    <!-- project declaration omitted -->

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.epam.reportportal</groupId>
            <artifactId>logger-java-rest-assured</artifactId>
            <version>5.3.4</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <!-- build config omitted -->
</project>

Gradle

build.gradle

dependencies {
    testCompile 'com.epam.reportportal:logger-java-rest-assured:5.3.4'
}

REST Assured configuration

To start getting Request and Response logging in Report Portal you need to add the logger as one of your REST Assured filters. The best place for it is one which will be initialized at the earliest moment once during the test execution. E.G. a static initialization block in a base class for all tests:

public class BaseTest {
	static {
		RestAssured.filters(new ReportPortalRestAssuredLoggingFilter(42, LogLevel.INFO));
	}
}

If you don't have a base class, you can put initialization into one of the most general initialization block. E.G. for TestNG it may be @BeforeSuite:

public class ApiTest {
	@BeforeSuite
	public void setupRestAssured() {
		RestAssured.filters(new ReportPortalRestAssuredLoggingFilter(42, LogLevel.INFO));
	}
}

NOTE: If you have more than one suite in your execution then it will mean REST Assured will be initialized over and over again with the Logger and you will get log duplication in the following suites. You can apply RestAssured.reset(); before the filter adding to avoid that. But this also means you will have to configure REST Assured anew each suite.

Sanitize Request / Response data

To avoid logging sensitive data into Report Portal you can use corresponding converters:

• Cookie converter
• Header converter
• URI converter
• Content prettiers

Cookie, Header and URI converters are set in the logger constructor:

public class BaseTest {
	static {
		RestAssured.filters(new ReportPortalRestAssuredLoggingFilter(
				42,
				LogLevel.INFO,
				SanitizingHttpHeaderConverter.INSTANCE,
				DefaultHttpHeaderConverter.INSTANCE,
				DefaultCookieConverter.INSTANCE,
				DefaultUriConverter.INSTANCE
		));
	}
}

You are free to implement any converter by yourself with java.util.function.Function interface.

Content prettier are more complex, they parse data based on its content type and apply defined transformations. Default prettiers just pretty-print JSON, HTML and XML data. To apply a custom content prettier call ReportPortalRestAssuredLoggingFilter.setContentPrettiers. E.G.:

public class BaseTest {
	private static final Map<String, Function<String, String>> MY_PRETTIERS = new HashMap<String, Function<String, String>>() {{
		put(ContentType.APPLICATION_XML.getMimeType(), XmlPrettier.INSTANCE);
		put(ContentType.APPLICATION_SOAP_XML.getMimeType(), XmlPrettier.INSTANCE);
		put(ContentType.APPLICATION_ATOM_XML.getMimeType(), XmlPrettier.INSTANCE);
		put(ContentType.APPLICATION_SVG_XML.getMimeType(), XmlPrettier.INSTANCE);
		put(ContentType.APPLICATION_XHTML_XML.getMimeType(), XmlPrettier.INSTANCE);
		put(ContentType.TEXT_XML.getMimeType(), XmlPrettier.INSTANCE);
		put(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON.getMimeType(), JsonPrettier.INSTANCE);
		put("text/json", JsonPrettier.INSTANCE);
		put(ContentType.TEXT_HTML.getMimeType(), HtmlPrettier.INSTANCE);
	}};

	static {
		RestAssured.filters(new ReportPortalRestAssuredLoggingFilter(42, LogLevel.INFO).setContentPrettiers(MY_PRETTIERS));
	}
}
