I'm writing a Gatling simulation, and I want to verify both that a certain element exists, and that the content of one of its attributes starts with a certain substring. E.g.:
val scn: ScenarioBuilder = scenario("BasicSimulation")
.exec(http("request_1")
.get("/path/to/resource")
.check(
status.is(200),
css("form#name", "action").ofType[String].startsWith(BASE_URL).saveAs("next_url")))
Now, when I add the startsWith above, the compiler reports an error that says startsWith is not a member of io.gatling.http.check.body.HttpBodyCssCheckBuilder[String]. If I leave the startsWith out, then everything works just fine. I know that the expected form element is there, but I cant confirm that its #action attribute starts with the correct base.
How can I confirm that the attribute start with a certain substring?
Refer this https://gatling.io/docs/2.3/general/scenario/
I have copied the below from there but it is a session function and will work like below :-
doIf(session => session("myKey").as[String].startsWith("admin")) { // executed if the session value stored in "myKey" starts with "admin" exec(http("if true").get("..."))}
I just had the same problem. I guess one option is to use a validator, but I'm not sure how if you can declare one on the fly to validate against your BASE_URL (the documentation doesn't really give any examples). You can use transform and is.
Could look like this:
css("form#name", "action").transform(_.startsWith(BASE_URL)).is(true)
If you also want to include the saveAs call in one go you could probably also do something like this:
css("form#name", "action").transform(_.substring(0, BASE_URL.length)).is(BASE_URL).saveAs
But that's harder to read. Also I'm not sure what happens when substring throws an exception (like IndexOutOfBounds).

I am wanting to call the following URL in my Jitterbit HTTP target:
https://xxx.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/workitems/[vstsId]?api-version=1.0
where [vstsId] is dynamic and should be supplied from a global variable.
Is it possible to have dynamic urls in the target?
I could make the whole url dynamic if need be.
Any ideas? (I'm using javascript scripting rather than the Jitterbit scripting)
Thanks
Martin
Yes, you have it typed out correctly. At the beginning of your operation chain (or at the point where you know what $vstsld should be, and you can declare it), simply add a script to declare it, or add it into a transformation where you get the data from. At any point after that, in the current operation chain, you can access the value in that variable. Just make sure you set it with the $ symbol, which makes it global.
$vstsld='some value';
As W3bguy said. you call it in the script as $vstsld. Now you can pass in a test value data into your variable as well. just add the curly brackets inside your variable like the below
example
https://xxx.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/workitems/[vstsId{1234}]?api-version=1.0
Looking at this
http://www.dotnetperls.com/ashx
I might have bits of code like this:
string file = context.Request.QueryString["file"];
if (file == "logo")
{
r.WriteFile("Logo1.png");
}
else
{
r.WriteFile("Flower1.png");
}
That should allow me to see different things depending on URL that I enter in a browser, for example:
http://www.dotnetperls.com/?file=logo
http://www.dotnetperls.com/?file=sth_else_eg_flower
The problem I am facing now is how, knowing just http://www.dotnetperls.com/?file can I read what the all the assumed options of the file variable are? In this case it would be "logo" and anything else.
What I have in reality is http://www.somewebstie.com/somefile.ashx?somevariable=. I can Google up the string to get few results (i.e. http://www.somewebstie.com/somefile.ashx?somevariable=abcde or http://www.somewebstie.com/somefile.ashx?somevariable=xyz) thus I know it exists and is somehow searchable. I just would like to know all the other "abcde" and "xyz". If I try just http://www.somewebstie.com/somefile.ashx I get a singe line error saying that I am giving a wrong variable and I cannot see anything important in the source of the site.
What might be important here - I have zero knowledge about web technologies.
You can't get this information. Its all hidden in the code implementation. There is no published format (by default) that will show you all of the available options the code is looking for.
I am trying to find entities (Tags) in the database via their Name property, where it is important to ignore the case (When database is searched and the Database contains a Tag with the name Database, that one should be returned). Right now, my code looks like this:
public IEnumerable<db.Tag> FindByNames(IEnumerable<string> tagNames)
{
return this.DatabaseContext.Tags
.Where(tag => tagNames.Contains(tag.Name));
}
Obviously, this one is case sensitive. I have tried to provide StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase as comparer to the Contains method, but got a warning during execution that the expression could not be translated and would be executed in code rather than in the database (I don't remember the exact message, I will edit as soon as I am back on my development machine). I can live with that if I have to, but it would be nice to know how to let the database do the work in this case. Is it possible?
No change should be necessary. SQLite's "LIKE" is already case-insensitive.
The default behavior of the LIKE operator is to ignore case for ASCII characters.
(cref https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_case_sensitive_like and Case sensitive and insensitive like in SQLite)
Of course, you can always use .FromSql() to get the exact query you want. Example:
context.Tags.FromSql("SELECT * FROM tags WHERE name LIKE '%{0}%'", tagName)
I am integrating with a system that creates part of a URL and I supply part of the URL.
I supply this:
http://myServer/gis/default.aspx?MAP_NAME=myMap
The system supplies this:
?type=mrolls&rolls='123','456'
(the "rolls" change depending on what the user chooses in the system)
so, my URL ends up looking like this:
http://myServer/gis/default.aspx?MAP_NAME=myMap?type=mrolls&rolls='123','456'
I need to get the rolls but when I try this in VB.Net:
Dim URL_ROLL As String = Request.QueryString("rolls")
I get an incorrect syntax error.
I think it's a combination of the 2nd question mark and the single quotes.
When the system is only passing one roll, it works, I can get the rolls from the URL
which looks like this:
http://myServer/gis/default.aspx?MAP_NAME=myMap?type=roll&roll=123
I asked them to change the format of the system's URL but they can't change it without affecting the rest of their users.
Can anyone give me some ideas on how to get the rolls from the URL with single quotes?
OK, I believe I've fixed my problem.
I used a regular expression to remove anything in the querystring that wasn't a number or a comma.
Thanks again for taking time to make your comments, it made me look at the problem from a different angle.
I'm building a listing/grid control in a Flex application and using it in a .NET web application. To make a really long story short I am getting XML from a webservice of serialized objects. I have a page limit of how many things can be on a page. I've taken a data grid and made it page, sort across pages, and handle some basic filtering.
In regards to paging I'm using a Dictionary keyed on the page and storing the XML for that page. This way whenever a user comes back to a page that I've saved into this dictionary I can grab the XML from local memory instead of hitting the webservice. Basically, I'm caching the data retrieved from each call to the webservice for a page of data.
There are several things that can expire my cache. Filtering and sorting are the main reason. However, a user may edit a row of data in the grid by opening an editor. The data they edit could cause the data displayed in the row to be stale. I could easily go to the webservice and get the whole page of data, but since the page size is set at runtime I could be looking at a large amount of records to retrieve.
So let me now get to the heart of the issue that I am experiencing. In order to prevent getting the whole page of data back I make a call to the webservice asking for the completely updated record (the editor handles saving its data).
Since I'm using custom objects I need to serialize them on the server to XML (this is handled already for other portions of our software). All data is handled through XML in e4x. The cache in the Dictionary is stored as an XMLList.
Now let me show you my code...
var idOfReplacee:String = this._WebService.GetSingleModelXml.lastResult.*[0].*[0].#Id;
var xmlToReplace:XMLList = this._DataPages[this._Options.PageIndex].Data.(#Id == idOfReplacee);
if(xmlToReplace.length() > 0)
{
delete (this._DataPages[this._Options.PageIndex].Data.(#Id == idOfReplacee)[0]);
this._DataPages[this._Options.PageIndex].Data += this._WebService.GetSingleModelXml.lastResult.*[0].*[0];
}
Basically, I get the id of the node I want to replace. Then I find it in the cache's Data property (XMLList). I make sure it exists since the filter on the second line returns the XMLList.
The problem I have is with the delete line. I cannot make that line delete that node from the list. The line following the delete line works. I've added the node to the list.
How do I replace or delete that node (meaning the node that I find from the filter statement out of the .Data property of the cache)???
Hopefully the underscores for all of my variables do not stay escaped when this is posted! otherwise this._ == this._
Thanks for the answers guys.
#Theo:
I tried the replace several different ways. For some reason it would never error, but never update the list.
#Matt:
I figured out a solution. The issue wasn't coming from what you suggested, but from how the delete works with Lists (at least how I have it in this instance).
The Data property of the _DataPages dictionary object is list of the definition nodes (was arrived at by a previous filtering of another XML document).
<Models>
<Definition Id='1' />
<Definition Id='2' />
</Models>
I ended up doing this little deal:
//gets the index of the node to replace from the same filter
var childIndex:int = (this._DataPages[this._Options.PageIndex].Data.(#Id == idOfReplacee)[0]).childIndex();
//deletes the node from the list
delete this._DataPages[this._Options.PageIndex].Data[childIndex];
//appends the new node from the webservice to the list
this._DataPages[this._Options.PageIndex].Data += this._WebService.GetSingleModelXml.lastResult.*[0].*[0];
So basically I had to get the index of the node in the XMLList that is the Data property. From there I could use the delete keyword to remove it from the list. The += adds my new node to the list.
I'm so used to using the ActiveX or Mozilla XmlDocument stuff where you call "SelectSingleNode" and then use "replaceChild" to do this kind of stuff. Oh well, at least this is in some forum where someone else can find it. I do not know the procedure for what happens when I answer my own question. Perhaps this insight will help someone else come along and help answer the question better!
Perhaps you could use replace instead?
var oldNode : XML = this._DataPages[this._Options.PageIndex].Data.(#Id == idOfReplacee)[0];
var newNode : XML = this._WebService.GetSingleModelXml.lastResult.*[0].*[0];
oldNode.parent.replace(oldNode, newNode);
I know this is an incredibly old question, but I don't see (what I think is) the simplest solution to this problem.
Theo had the right direction here, but there's a number of errors with the way replace was being used (and the fact that pretty much everything in E4X is a function).
I believe this will do the trick:
oldNode.parent().replace(oldNode.childIndex(), newNode);
replace() can take a number of different types in the first parameter, but AFAIK, XML objects are not one of them.
I don't immediately see the problem, so I can only venture a guess. The delete line that you've got is looking for the first item at the top level of the list which has an attribute "Id" with a value equal to idOfReplacee. Ensure that you don't need to dig deeper into the XML structure to find that matching id.
Try this instead:
delete (this._DataPages[this._Options.PageIndex].Data..(#Id == idOfReplacee)[0]);
(Notice the extra '.' after Data). You could more easily debug this by setting a breakpoint on the second line of the code you posted, and ensure that the XMLList looks like you expect.
