    Do any of the Devtest versions support "PATCH" method in "REST STEP" in CA Application Test.

    HEAD and PATCH are not supported at present , please create an idea on communities to add this features on roadmap.

     

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Vamsi,

     

    Thanks for the update.

    Could you please let us know if there is any workaround or alternate way to implement PATCH method in Devtest.

    Can you try , send it as POST request and add query parameter _HttpMethod=PATCH

    OR You can add java script step with the following code :

     

    import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;

    import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;

    import org.apache.http.client.methods.CloseableHttpResponse;

    import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPatch;

    import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;

    import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients;

    import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;

    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

     

      CloseableHttpResponse response = null;

     

      try {

     

      HttpPatch patch = new HttpPatch("http://localhost:6001/login/authToken");

     

      patch.setHeader("Authorization", "Basic dmFtc2k6cGFzc3dvcmQ=");

     

      patch.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

     

      CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();

     

      response = httpclient.execute(patch);

     

      HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

      if (entity != null) {

      long len = entity.getContentLength();

      if (len != -1 && len < 2048) {

      builder.append(EntityUtils.toString(entity));

     

      } else {

     

      return "Invalid Content Length";

      }

      }

      } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {

     

      builder.append(e.getMessage());

      builder.append(e.getStackTrace());

     

      } catch (IOException e) {

     

      builder.append(e.getMessage());

      builder.append(e.getStackTrace());

     

      } finally {

      if (response != null) {

      try {

      response.close();

      } catch (IOException e) {

      builder.append(e.getMessage());

      builder.append(e.getStackTrace());

     

      }

      }

      }

     

      return builder.toString();

    Hi Vamsi,

     

    Java code worked. Thank you.

     

    But the earlier one to use POST method with "_HttpMethod=PATCH' as Query Parameter did not work.

    I used the below URL and I got "invalid" URL error message on using it.

    http://hostname:port/action/1236/suspend?HttpMethod=PATCH

    Hi vamsi,

     

    The java code worked as told earlier. But we need to send request as well sometimes along with URI. Could you please let us know how to achieve this.

     

    Thanks,

    I changed the HttpPatch URL and the token. Everything else is the same, but I got error below:

     

    sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target[Ljava.lang.StackTraceElement;@4a72a378

     

    Is there anything else need to be changed for our environment?

     

    thanks,

    Yes, that's the problem with the code. It does not support https.

    I tried this code but I am getting this error: Also, have to set this up as BeanShell in order to not get multiple errors.

    Hi Jeff, 

     

    I tried the following code with your URL  and it is working for me on DevTest 10.1

     

    You need the change the body with your request body and test it, if you can provide me request/response pairs I can change the body and send it to you. 

     

     

    import java.io.IOException;

    import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
    import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
    import org.apache.http.client.methods.CloseableHttpResponse;
    import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPatch;
    import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity;
    import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;
    import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients;
    import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;

    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

    CloseableHttpResponse response = null;

    try {

    HttpPatch patch = new HttpPatch("http://localhost:8980/AmfamEng/AFIMirror/_apis/wit/workitems/$Test");

    patch.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");


    String body = "{"+
    " \"book\": ["+
    " "+
    " {"+
    " \"id\":\"01\","+
    " \"language\": \"Java\","+
    " \"edition\": \"third\","+
    " \"author\": \"Herbert Schildt\""+
    " },"+
    " "+
    " {"+
    " \"id\":\"07\","+
    " \"language\": \"C++\","+
    " \"edition\": \"second\","+
    " \"author\": \"E.Balagurusamy\""+
    " }"+
    " ]"+
    "}";

    StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(body);

    patch.setEntity(entity);

    CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault();

    response = httpclient.execute(patch);

    HttpEntity entityResponse = response.getEntity();
    if (entityResponse != null) {
    long len = entityResponse.getContentLength();
    if (len != -1 && len < 2048) {
    builder.append(EntityUtils.toString(entityResponse));

    } else {

    return "Invalid Content Length";
    }
    }
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {

    builder.append(e.getMessage());
    builder.append(e.getStackTrace());

    } catch (IOException e) {

    builder.append(e.getMessage());
    builder.append(e.getStackTrace());

    } finally {
    if (response != null) {
    try {
    response.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    builder.append(e.getMessage());
    builder.append(e.getStackTrace());

    }
    }
    }

    return builder.toString();

    }

    Hi Vamsi,

     

    Thanks for the quick response. However, I found another solution that is now letting me pass PATCH using POST in the REST step in DevTest.
