Multi Step website test with variable

So this line: 

LMResponse.setContext("token", object.token);

Saved the token value for use in the next step, though i’m not sure if it’s a method of the LMResponse object. I thought you could just do `setContext(“token”,object.token);` 

Anyway, you’d need a `token = getContext(“token”)` in your step 2 request script to get the token into the script, then yes, you can set that token as your Auth header.

Also, the content-type header can probably be as simple as:

.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")

Putting it in encoded threw me off.

Many thanks.
I have set up the following test using static headers, then converted to scripts in LM. With headers set as static, I can run Step 1, copy the token it generates, paste into the Authorization header in Step 2, and it works, but as the token is only valid for 15 mins, that isnt a workable solution ;)


Step 1 Request Script...
 

import static com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.PostDataType.*;
import static com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.StatusCode.*;
import com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.StatusCode;
import com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.AuthType;
import com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.LMRequest;

LMRequest request = new LMRequest();
request.useHttp1_1()
         .followRedirect(true)
         .needFullpageLoad(false)
         .addHeader('''sbsbrand''', '''<CUSTOMER>''')
         .addHeader('''sbsreference''', '''<REFERENCE>''')
         .addHeader('''sbslanguage''', '''EN''')
         .addHeader('''sbschannel''', '''broker''')
         .addHeader('''Content-Type''', new String('''YXBwbGljYXRpb24vanNvbg=='''.decodeBase64())) 
         .post(JSON, new String('''//<Encrypted post data>//'''.decodeBase64()));

return LMHttpClient.request(request);
 

---

With a response script of

import static com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.StatusCode.*;
import com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.StatusCode;

StatusCode status = STATUS_OK;

String body = LMResponse.getBody()

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def object = jsonSlurper.parseText(body)

LMResponse.setContext("token", object.token);

int[] codes = [200];
status = STATUS_MISMATCH;
for (int code : codes) {
    status = LMResponse.statusMatch(code);
    if (status.isOK()) {
        break;
    }
}
if (!status.isOK()) {
    return status;
}

return status;

This generates output such as

Response Content:
{"exists":false,"token":"<token - 367 characters ! >"}

it is this token I need to pass to the second step and set with header set to ‘Authorization: Bearer <token>’
        

Step 2 Request script (a GET with headers set)

is
 

import static com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.PostDataType.*;
import static com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.StatusCode.*;
import com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.StatusCode;
import com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.AuthType;
import com.logicmonitor.service.groovyapi.LMRequest;

LMRequest request = new LMRequest();
request.useHttp1_1()
         .followRedirect(true)
         .needFullpageLoad(false)
         .addHeader('''Authorization''', 'Bearer ' + token)
         .addHeader('''sbsbrand''', '''<CUSTOMER>''')
         .addHeader('''sbsreference''', '''<reference>''')
         .addHeader('''sbslanguage''', '''EN''')
         .addHeader('''sbschannel''', '''broker''')
         .addHeader('''Content-Type''', new String('''YXBwbGljYXRpb24vanNvbg=='''.decodeBase64()))
         .get();

return LMHttpClient.request(request);
 

hi all, still struggling with this. I submitted a call with LM support, but reached the point where i was told it is a custom script so they couldn’t help further.

This is why I don’t pay for premier support. The stuff I need help with is the stuff they run away from like chicken pox.

Mind sharing your code (redact any private data).

hi all, still struggling with this. I submitted a call with LM support, but reached the point where i was told it is a custom script so they couldn’t help further.

I tried following the video and link provided, but still get an error when i try to pass the token as a variable between the 2 steps.

I have scripted 2 curls on the servers, and used a datasource to call the script, as a workaround, but the completist in me wants to get the web check working if it is possible.

Whoops, sorry, forgot to tell you to import the json library first. I edited the above code to include the import.

that gives me a ‘No such property: jsonSlurper for class’
I changed to JsonSlurper, thinking it muight be a typo, and this returned a different error - 

No signature or method: static.groovy.jason.JsonSlurper.parseTest() is applicable for argument type

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def object = jsonSlurper.parseText(body)
println(object.token)

Great, many thanks..
My website is returning the token in json in the form:

{"exists":false,"token":"<token>}

How do I get just the token into the variable?

I added 
String body = LMResponse.getBody()
result= (body+~ /token"\s+valuie="(\d+)"/)[0][1];

into the response script, but that errors - Script Error - ScriptExecutingFailedExpression: begin 1, end 2, length 1

Yep, that’s it. Should help you out.
