How to store and work with REST post response?

CodeceptJS

Hello guys,

I am new to Codeceptjs with WebdriverIO and JavaScript and I just started to work with REST helper. I was wondering if there a way to store post response and retrieve values from it?

I would be really grateful if you could share your examples.

You can get access to the data object on the response, like so

Yes, the examples are referenced from CodeceptJS docs: https://codecept.io/examples/#rest-example-tests
result.status contains HTTP response (e.g. 200 which means O.K.) and result.data contains response (e.g. JSON response).
More details on https://github.com/axios/axios#response-schema (CodeceptJS uses axios library to perform REST requests)

Thank you a lot guys. Finally I was able to store response. Now it looks like this:

var response = await I.sendPostRequest(url, postBody);
var users = response.data;
console.log(users);

Console output:

[
{id:‘001c’, name:‘Max’, city:‘London’},
{id:‘002c’, name:‘Tom’, city:‘Bristol’}
]

My question is, how can I access name field in one or all records? For example if I want to verify it equals expected value?

Ex.
expect(users.name).to.eql(‘Max’);

5

expect(users[0].name).to.equal(“Max”)

Hello guys,

I am trying the same to fetch the response but somehow I get this error message:- ‘Property ‘status’ does not exist on type ‘void’.ts(2339)’

I see the return type of the I.sendGetRequest(’/rtos’) to be void.

Sample code:-

const res = await I.sendGetRequest(’/rtos’);
expect(res.status).to.eql(200); --> GIves compile time error on this line.

Please help me on this.

Thanks,
Deven J.
