Testing

The main role of post-response script is to validate responses and define tests.

Accessing Requests and Responses

• For single requests or the most recently executed request, use tp.Request and tp.Response.
• For multiple requests in a .http file, use tp.Requests and tp.Responses to access named requests and responses.

Working with Body Content

Both HttpRequestMessage and HttpResponseMessage objects include convenient methods for handling body content:

• GetBody() / GetBodyAsync() - Retrieves the body as a string.
• GetBody<TResult>() / GetBodyAsync<TResult>() - Deserializes the JSON body into an object of type TResult.
• GetBodyAsExpando() / GetBodyAsExpandoAsync() - Retrieves the body as a case-insensitive dynamic expando object, making property access easier.
  • IMPORTANT: To use an expando object correctly, explicitly declare containing variable as dynamic.

JSON Handling

For requests that handle application/json payloads, a extension method ToExpando() can simplify access to JSON properties:

// Using case-insensitive expando object
tp.Test("Identifier should be a positive integer.", () =>
{
    // Expando object has to be marked epxlicitly as 'dynamic'
    dynamic responseBody = tp.Response.GetBodyAsExpando();
    True(responseBody.id > 0);
});

Status Code Handling

The response object includes a StatusCode() method that simplifies status code handling by returning its integer value.
