[Question] POST request WithHeaders

[cchung100m]

Hi @gavv ,

I am a newbie to golang and learn how to leverage your project to do the RESTful API testing. I can complete the login behavior through postman, however, I turn the related fields in headers of request into the following code, I got the wired error message, I would appreciate if you can point me where should I correct my work, thanks.

package example

import (
	"crypto/tls"
	"fmt"
	"testing"

	"net/http"

	"github.com/gavv/httpexpect"
)

var testurl = "https://10.0.2.15"

func TestLogin(t *testing.T) {
	e := httpexpect.New(t, testurl)

	client := &http.Client{
		Transport: &http.Transport{
			TLSClientConfig: &tls.Config{
				InsecureSkipVerify: true,
			},
		},
	}

	r := e.POST("/rest/login").
		WithClient(client).
		WithHeaders(map[string]string{
			"Content-Type": "application/json",
			"login":        "test",
			"passHash":     "9d0fe69f2a0d28c7d53a96f44075f9279bf054d9",
		}).
		Expect().
		Status(http.StatusOK).JSON().Object()

	r.Keys().ContainsOnly("token")

	token := r.Value("token").String().Raw()
	fmt.Println(token)
}

Error message:

Hi all,

Using WithHeaders is correct because I find the root cause is that the return type of request is not json object but text format.

	r := e.POST("/rest/login").
		WithClient(client).
		WithHeaders(map[string]string{
			"Content-Type": "application/json",
			"login":        username,
			"passHash":     hexStr,
		}).
		Expect().
		Status(http.StatusOK).Text().Raw()
