Passing values in json format

Hi Shanmukha & ravalik,

I am trying to call a webapi from Fitnesse. The syntax for this is
| post web api | WEB_API_ENDPOINT | with body | BODY | with username | USERNAME |

for the fitnesse to execute this step , I should be passing the values for the body in Json Format similar to
| post web api | testwebapi | with body | {"id":"1", "Name":"Sahithi"} | with username | testUsername |

But in my scenario i have values already generated in previous steps and stored in a variable.
For Eg: tv!name has the value "Sahithi"
So now i should be passing this as
| post web api | testwebapi | with body | {"id":"1", "Name":tv!name} | with username | testUsername |

The above syntax throws 500 error as the variable tv!name is not considered to be in Json Format for the input.

So i was seeking help if anyone had similar situation and is able to help me.

Have you tried to setup the value to a variable ? And then pass to the webapi?

I have been able to concatenarme variables before, have you tried to play with that approach? Even setting variables tv! or the $var could help.

If I find time I can elaborate more my suggestion.

Hope this helps

Hi Josep,

I have set up the value of the variable in the suite setup. and i am trying to cal this webapi in one of my test cases. I am facing the issue as i am not able to send the value in Json format for the webapi. It wod have been easy if i can hard code the value but i cannot do it as i receive this value from suite setup.
