How to maintain same session across multiple requests in rest-assured? - rest

Question

Pre-req:Rest-assured api tests with Java
Step
1. Launch URL and get login ticket - code snippet below to get login ticket
RestAssured.baseURI = "https://ve4al10p:453";
RestAssured.useRelaxedHTTPSValidation();
Response res =
given().
header("Content-Type","application/json").
when().
post("/i/login?action=lt").
then().
assertThat().statusCode(200).
extract().response();
res.prettyPrint();
Output: Notice login ticket
lt":"LT-12370-j4znjFQkGMXMjlT3uKJ"
Step 2. Use login ticket and perform login with username and password.
I extracted login ticket and passed to next request (continued snippet).
CookieFilter cookieFilter = new CookieFilter();
Response res1 = given().
filter(cookieFilter).
header("Content-Type","application/json").
queryParam("lt",loginticket).
queryParam("username","user1").
queryParam("password","pass1").
when().
post("/i/login?service=https://ve4al10p:443/spa").
then().
assertThat().statusCode(200).
extract().response();
res1.prettyPrint();
Output: Notice it again creates a new login ticket, that means a new session and fails give expected output.
**"lt":"LT-12369-u6osMkesdg6RQu9JPoDARL4D"**
Note: I also noticed the sessions for above requests and both are different.
Expected Output: I want to use same login ticket and maintain same sessions.

Answer 1

you can get the SessionID/cookie from login and pass this as SessionID to next request as header to maintain single session.
for eg :
String JsessionID = given().header(h1).body(payload).when().post(basepath).thenReturn().cookie("JSESSIONID");
given().headers(JsessionID).body(body).when().post();

Answer 2

How about send request with cookie?
Let's say you got access_token in cookie after login success, you can send request within the access_token in cookie:
String token = given()
.contentType(ContentType.JSON)
.body(payload)
.log()
.all()
.when()
.post(loginUrl)
.thenReturn()
.cookie("access_token");
Cookie tokenCookie = new Cookie.Builder("access_token", token)
.setSecured(true)
.setComment("some comment")
.build();
assertEquals(given()
.cookie(tokenCookie)
.when()
.get(nextRequest)
.statusCode(), 200);
