Description

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub. This exercise is similar to the preceding one. Look at it for the details.

Instructions

Send

{
  "surname": "da Verrazzano"
}

Replace assert.fail() and make the test pass. Check for 1) status, 2) type, 3) body.name, 4) body.surname. Follow the assertion order above: we rely on it.

Tests

tests:
  - text: All tests should pass
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.state,'passed'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.status' to be 200
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[0], 'res.status'); assert.equal(data.assertions[0].args[1], '200');}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.type' to be 'application/json'
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[1].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[1].args[0], 'res.type'); assert.match(data.assertions[1].args[1], /('|")application\/json\1/);}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.body.name' to be 'Giovanni'
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[2].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[2].args[0], 'res.body.name'); assert.match(data.assertions[2].args[1], /('|")Giovanni\1/);}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
  - text: You should test for 'res.body.surname' to be 'da Verrazzano'
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=functional&n=3').then(data => { assert.equal(data.assertions[3].method, 'equal'); assert.equal(data.assertions[3].args[0], 'res.body.surname'); assert.match(data.assertions[3].args[1], /('|")da Verrazzano\1/);}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
