I am trying to test the endpoint of my REST API's using beego framework.
My test function is below that I am using to send JSON request:
func testHTTPJsonResp(url string) string {
var jsonStr = []byte(`{"title":"Buy cheese and bread for breakfast."}`)
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, bytes.NewBuffer(jsonStr))
req.Header.Set("X-Custom-Header", "myvalue")
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
beego.Error(err)
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
beego.BeeApp.Handlers.ServeHTTP(w, req)
beego.Debug(w)
return w.Body.String()
}
The server does receive the request but the input body is always empty for the request.
Similar, function that I am using to send Form data to server works fine.
func testHTTPResp(httpProt, url string, params map[string]interface{}) string {
bodyBuf := &bytes.Buffer{}
bodyWriter := multipart.NewWriter(bodyBuf)
for key, val := range params {
beego.Error(key + val.(string))
_ = bodyWriter.WriteField(key, val.(string))
}
contentType := bodyWriter.FormDataContentType()
bodyWriter.Close()
r, _ := http.NewRequest(httpProt, url, bodyBuf)
r.Header.Add("Content-Type", contentType)
w := httptest.NewRecorder()
beego.BeeApp.Handlers.ServeHTTP(w, r)
beego.Debug(w)
return w.Body.String()
}
Issue: Why is the server receiving JSON request body as empty while similar form-encoded data goes fine. Have been stuck on this for a few days now, any pointers are highly appreciated.
