How to write array request body in rest assured

December 29, 2022

I have used rest assured framework, This is the request body for post method

{
  "requestNumber":749 ,
  "referenceNumber": "tyryrty",
  "cardType": "aliqua pariatur enim cupidatat",
  "companyName": "amet Lorem",
  "rejectMessage": "tempor dolor officia",
  "contactEmail": "mollit pariatur veniam sed",
  "serviceProviderEmailList": [
    "ipsum nis",
    "Ut dolore aliqua exercitation irure"
  ],
  "approvedBy": "sup",
  "approvedDate": "1962-07-15T01:00:55.437Z"
}

I have tried in this way but i’m not getting result

 
JSONObject jsonobj1 = new JSONObject();
            jsonobj1.put("requestNumber", 749 );
            jsonobj1.put("referenceNumber", "tyryrty");
            jsonobj1.put("cardType", "aliqua pariatur enim cupidatat");
            jsonobj1.put("companyName", "amet Lorem");
            jsonobj1.put("contactEmail", "tempor dolor officia");
            Map<String, Object> map= new HashMap<String,Object>();
            map.put("serviceProviderEmailList", "ipsum nis");
            List<Map<String, Object>> test=Arrays.asList(map);
            jsonobj1.put("serviceProviderEmailList", test);
            
            jsonobj1.put("approvedBy", "sup");
            jsonobj1.put("approvedDate", "1962-07-15T01:00:55.437Z");

>Solution :

serviceProviderEmailList field is an array of strings, but you are trying to add a single string value to it using a map. Instead, you should create a list of strings and add it to the JSON object as follows:

 List<String> serviceProviderEmailList = Arrays.asList("ipsum nis", "Ut dolore aliqua exercitation irure");
jsonobj1.put("serviceProviderEmailList", serviceProviderEmailList);
jsonobj1.put("rejectMessage", "tempor dolor officia");

you can use the body method of the RequestSpecification class to set the request body of a POST request, as follows:

given().contentType("application/json")
       .body(jsonobj1.toString())
       .when().post("http://your-api-endpoint.com/")
       .then().statusCode(200);
