Cucumber: Using JSON Parser
JavaScript Object Notation(JSON) is a lightweight data-interchange format useful to generate and parse data
Sample Data:
{‘user’:{‘FirstName’:’User1′, ‘LastName’:’Sample’, ‘Gender’:’Female’, ‘BirthDate’:’01/01/1990′}}
Suppose we are to use the above user data, parse it into an hash and use the array hash as input to a sign up screen.
Here’s a snippet of how to use JSON in this particular scenario
require “json”
my_data = "{'user':{'FirstName':'User', 'LastName':'Sample', 'Gender':'Female', 'BirthDate':'01/01/1990'}}"
##method to parse user data
def getNewUserData
@new_user = JSON.parse my_data
{
:firstName => new_user['user']['FirstName'],
:lastName => new_user['user']['LastName'],
:gender => new_user['user']['Gender'],
:birthDate => new_user['user']['BirthDate']
}
end
##method to populate the sign up screen
def fillOutSignUpScreen
step %Q[I enter "#{@new_user[:firstName]}" to the "signup.firstname"]
step %Q[I enter "#{@new_user[:lastName]}" to the "signup.lastname"]
step %Q[I enter "#{@new_user[:gender]}" to the "signup.gender"]
step %Q[I enter "#{@new_user[:birthDate]}" to the "signup.birthdate"]
end

Ruby: Using URI and HTTPClient
HTTPClient provides API library for user to access web resource using HTTP
This would be helpful if you need to access a different web URL other than your base URL that you used in your automation and validate the content of the page.
Here’s a snippet of how to use HTTPClient in this particular scenario
require “httpclient”
my_url = “http://CheckThisOut:8080”
##method to access my_url using URI
def accessPage
begin
uri_parsed = URI.parse(my_url)
client = HTTPClient.new()
client.ssl_config.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
client.no_proxy = uri_parsed.host
uri = my_url
#invoke url to take the page content
puts “Accessing: #{uri}”
resp = client.get uri, :header => {’Accept’ =>‘application/json’}
rescue
puts(“Error encountered: #{$!.inspect}”)
end
end
puts "response: status = #{resp.status}"
puts "response: body = #{resp.body}"
fail "bad response #{resp.status} #{resp.reason}" unless resp.status == HTTP::Status::OK
page_content = resp.body
return page_content
end
