How to set headers and rawBody into Post request

Oleksandr Maliarenko commented 5 years ago

Hi!

Trying to write a simple test for endpoint that accepts only rawBody + headers needed.
How can I do this?
Things I tried:

{ request: { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: { email: 'a@b', slug: 'test' }, rawBody: true, } }
{ request: { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: { email: 'a@b', slug: 'test' }, json: true, } }
tried to separate body and headers as 2 objects;
without headers
only object with parameters;
only object with parameters + {json: true} or {rawBody: true};
with .setup();

But in return I got whether
"FetchError: request to http://some_url/api/v2/endpoint failed, reason: Parse Error" or
"400 Error"

Please, help :)

Does following code work as you expected ?

const frisby = require('frisby');

it('test', () => {
  return frisby.setup({
    request: {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    }
  }, true)
    .post(URL, {
      body: { email: 'a@b', slug: 'test' }
    })
    .expect('status', 200);
});

@H1Gdev

Thanks for help,
but, unfortunately, no :(

Got this error:
FetchError: request to http://kalkomey-ams.dev.digicode.ua/api/v2/forgot_password failed, reason: Parse Error at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (node_modules/node-fetch/lib/index.js:1444:11)

Can it be some kind of bug on the server?
I have a very similar test, where only endpoint is different and there's 1 additional parameter, but that's it - and it works well.

Also, I have this test in Postman - it works there too.

@Viterzgir666

Can you paste request header and body for Postman ?

Oleksandr Maliarenko · Answer 4 · Sat Mar 30 2019 16:59:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@H1Gdev
Sure, here it is:

Headers:
Content-Type: application/json
Body:
raw is checked, JSON(application/json) is selected in dropdown for body
{ "email": "test@test.com", "slug": "nevada" }

H1Gdev · Answer 5 · Sun Mar 31 2019 09:32:01 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Viterzgir666

The request header sent by frisby is as follows.(Above test code)

POST / HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 29
User-Agent: node-fetch/1.0 (+https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch)
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Connection: close

Please try to setup User-Agent on frisby.

const frisby = require('frisby');

it('test', () => {
  return frisby.setup({
    request: {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'User-Agent': USER_AGENT // What is User-Agent ?
      }
    }
  }, true)
    .post(URL, {
      body: { email: 'a@b', slug: 'test' }
    })
    .expect('status', 200);
});

@Viterzgir666

From error reason Parse Error at ClientRequest.<anonymous>, there may be a mistake in Request JavaScript object.

Oleksandr Maliarenko · Answer 7 · Mon Apr 01 2019 15:16:26 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@H1Gdev
Tried with User-Agent - the same error appears. Tried with Chrome browser, Android+Chrome, Android Application - Billboard.

Tried to stringify body, then response is changed to a huge html site response with logs. Title is this:
ActionDispatch::ParamsParser::ParseError 822: unexpected token at 'email=test%40test.com&slug=nevada'

If I set email to incorrect one - I recieve CORRECT response from the server:
FAILURE Status: 401 JSON: { "error": "WRONG_EMAIL" }

It just doesn't work.
There's simple body JSON object, header requires only 'Content-Type'.

I already wrote tests with Frisby. There's nothing special with this request. It just doesn't work and I don't understand why.

Has your FetchError issue been solved ?

@H1Gdev

no :(

@Viterzgir666

Execute following code.

const frisby = require('frisby');

it('test', () => {
  return frisby.setup({
    request: {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'User-Agent': 'frisby/2.1.1 (+https://github.com/vlucas/frisby)'
      },
      timeout: 10000
    }
  }, true)
    .post(URL, {
      body: { email: 'test@test.com', slug: 'nevada' }
    });
}, 10000);

And send following HTTP request.

POST / HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
User-Agent: frisby/2.1.1 (+https://github.com/vlucas/frisby)
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 41
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Connection: close

{"email":"test@test.com","slug":"nevada"}

How are you execute frisby ?
Please paste code that becomes FetchError error.

@H1Gdev

it('test', () => {
  return frisby.setup({
    request: {
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'User-Agent': 'frisby/2.1.1 (+https://github.com/vlucas/frisby)'
      },
      timeout: 10000
    }
  }, true)
    .post(URL, {
      body: { email: 'test@test.com', slug: 'nevada' }
    })
    .expect('status', 200);
}, 10000);

this code returns me

FetchError: request to http://base_url/api/v2/forgot_password failed, reason: Parse Error at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (node_modules/node-fetch/lib/index.js:1444:11)

If I change email in body into invalid one - I'll got correct 400 error with description that email is incorrect. But valid request returns FetchError.

@H1Gdev I'm just not allowed to share my URL :(

Can I pm it to you somehow?

H1Gdev · Answer 15 · Tue Apr 02 2019 09:09:43 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Viterzgir666

Don't worry.
It is just a note.

H1Gdev · Answer 16 · Tue Apr 02 2019 09:28:15 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Viterzgir666

This HTTP request sent by frisby is generally fine.
However it's not what this server expected.

It is successful in Postman.
So send the same request as Postman.
Please tell me actual exact HTTP request header and body in Postman.

sorry, the url is still wrong, but everything else is the same as I use for request.

Postman sends following HTTP request.

@H1Gdev

I know :)
Do you recommend me to add all those header parameters?
I already tried with User-Agent and Content-Type, though

H1Gdev · Answer 20 · Wed Apr 03 2019 06:16:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@Viterzgir666

Do you recommend me to add all those header parameters?

Yes.
At first, add all those header parameters.

I do not know specifications of your server.

Vance Lucas · Answer 21 · Thu Apr 04 2019 00:50:09 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Instead of having to use setup to send those headers, another alternative is to use fetch directly:

it('test', () => {
  return frisby.fetch(URL, {
      method: 'post',
      headers: {
        'Accept': 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ email: 'a@b', slug: 'test' }),
    })
    .expect('status', 200);
});

Does it work when you do this?

Oleksandr Maliarenko · Answer 22 · Fri Apr 05 2019 16:48:41 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

API is broken for now - can't test.
But thanks for the reply.

Oleksandr Maliarenko · Answer 23 · Fri Apr 12 2019 20:45:29 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Closing because it is not irrelevant anymore.
Don't have this error in other projects so it is fine, I guess :)
