Issue/Introduction

This article will provide information on updating VSE request headers before going to LIVE System or for doing any other customization in the VS.

Environment

DevTest release 10.8.4.

Resolution

The below code can be used in Scripted assertion or in Execute Script step after the HTTP Listen step to update the lisa.vse.request headers test-key & auth with the new values. 

--------------

import com.itko.util.ParameterList;
import com.itko.util.Parameter;

 

ParameterList newmetadata = lisa_vse_request.getMetaData();

newmetadata.setParameterValue("test-key", "test123");

newmetadata.setParameterValue("auth", "Basic 123");

lisa_vse_request.setMetaData(newmetadata); 

return true;

-------------------

 

NOTE: Set the logic of the Scripted Assertion to If False, Fail the test. Assertion should never fail unless the code is incorrect.

 

The above code will work for setting the headers for VSE request but not for the HTTP Transaction. We have the patch patch_DE669605_10.8.4_GA.jar and the below code to add/update the HTTP Transaction headers. The code can be added in a Scripted Assertion or in a Execute Script step and set the the logic to go to next step accordingly.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

import com.itko.lisa.vse.http.HTTPTransaction;

HTTPTransaction transaction = ((HTTPTransaction) testExec.getStateObject("lisa.vse.http.current.transaction"));
transaction.updateRequestHeaderBlockHost("SCRIPTABLEHOST.com");
testExec.setStateObject("lisa.vse.http.current.transaction", transaction);
transaction.updateRequestHeader("consumer-key","nEhvbBHubj7gkSHoQEeBKvmx0h1VpRoj");
transaction.updateRequestHeader("authorization", "Bearer afwyuqwnfvdhfrddsyuklh"); 
transaction.addRequestHeader("headertoadd", "headervalue");

----------------------------------------------------------
