Save request and response json details in variables

[Walrusv]

Hello!
I wonder if you can help me,
I would like to save request (and response) json in variables,
I know about Inspect(), but this method just print in Terminal and it doesn't allow me to save it to a variable

This is my code

Given(/^Post Notificacion con atributos (.*), (.*), (.*)$/, async function(email, body, petition){
servicio.post('/telematics/v1/notification')
  .withHeaders({
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  })
  .withJson({ email: email,
    body: body,
    petition: petition
  })
  .inspect();
  await servicio.toss();

This is a example of request details printed in Terminal by the Inspect()

  var requestDetail = {
    "url": "/telematics/v1/notification",
    "method": "POST",
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
   },
    "path": "/telematics/v1/notification",
    "body": {
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "body": "test"
    },
    "timeout": 3000
  }

  

My goal is save in variables to attach in Cucumber Html Report, How can i do?

this.attach(JSON.stringify(requestDetail, null, 2));
this.attach(JSON.stringify(responseDetail, null, 2));

Hey @Walrusv !
Yes, inspect() prints the request, response onto terminal/console.
You can access the request and response details from spec object with spec._request and spec._response. In your case, it would be

servicio._request // to get the request
servicio._response // to get the response

Just add these after the toss() and you might want to explicitly access parts from _response (like body, headers).

Thank you so much! @leelaprasadv

spec._request- > Works perfectly!
But " spec._response" prints a lot of information that I don't need or is irrelevant to response details

Example:

Here is my code:

Given(/^Post Notificacion con atributos (.*), (.*), (.*)$/, async function(email, body, petition){
servicio.post('/telematics/v1/notification')
  .withHeaders({
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  })
  .withJson({ email: email,
    body: body,
    petition: petition
  });
  await servicio.toss();

//just for logs and validate
console.log(servicio._request); 
  console.log(servicio._response);

How can i get a correct response detail like the request one?

[leelaprasadv]

You can pick required details from the _response object.
one easiest way to do it is with lodash npm package's pick().

 console.log(_.pick(servicio._response, ["headers", "statusCode", "json"]));

Or you could just do below without lodash

let trimmedResponse = (({headers, statusCode, json}) => ({headers, statusCode, json}))(servicio._response);
console.log(trimmedResponse)

PS: json contains the response body
