How to set correct request using script

[Akhil2001]

Hi Everyone,

I'm getting below error while calling api.

Error: Response body{"statusCode":400,"titleMessage":"Bad Request","helpMessage":"Please correct the input object","userMessage":"There was an error while processing JSON content"}

Code:

var status = workflow.scratchpad.appstatus;

var collibra_id = current.variables.colib_task_id;

workflow.info(collibra_id + ',' + status);

var approvalStatus1;

var approvalStatus2;

if (status == "true") {

    approvalStatus1 = "true";

    approvalStatus2 = "false";

} else {

    approvalStatus1 = "false";

    approvalStatus2 = "true";

}

var number = current.number;

try {

    var r_colli = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Collibra', 'sentResponseToColli');

    r_colli.setRequestBody({"taskIds": [

            "${colli_id}"

        ],

        "formProperties": {

            "success": "${approvalStatus1}",

            "failure": "${approvalStatus2}"

    }

});

    var responseFromColli = r_colli.execute();

    var responseBody = responseFromColli.getBody();

    var httpstatus = responseFromColli.getStatusCode();

    workflow.info('Response body' + responseBody);

    workflow.info('status' + httpstatus);

} catch (ex) {

}

var status = workflow.scratchpad.appstatus;
var collibra_id = current.variables.colib_task_id.toString();
workflow.info(collibra_id + ',' + status);
var approvalStatus1;
var approvalStatus2;
 
if (status == "true") {
    approvalStatus1 = "true";
    approvalStatus2 = "false";
 
} else {
    approvalStatus1 = "false";
    approvalStatus2 = "true";
 
}
var number = current.number;
try {
    var r_colli = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Collibra', 'sentResponseToColli');
 
 var body = {"taskIds": [
            collibra_id
        ],
        "formProperties": {
            "success": approvalStatus1,
            "failure": approvalStatus2
    }
};
 
    r_colli.setRequestBody(JSON.stringify(body));
    var responseFromColli = r_colli.execute();

Hi Shruthi,
Getting the same error again after using above code. Please suggest.

Please try with the updated code

var status = workflow.scratchpad.appstatus;
var collibra_id = current.variables.colib_task_id.toString();
workflow.info(collibra_id + ',' + status);
var approvalStatus1;
var approvalStatus2;
 
if (status == "true") {
    approvalStatus1 = "true";
    approvalStatus2 = "false";
 
} else {
    approvalStatus1 = "false";
    approvalStatus2 = "true";
 
}
var number = current.number;
try {
    var r_colli = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Collibra', 'sentResponseToColli');
 
 var body = {"taskIds": [
            collibra_id
        ],
        "formProperties": {
            "success": approvalStatus1,
            "failure": approvalStatus2
    }
};
 
    r_colli.setRequestBody(JSON.stringify(body));
    var responseFromColli = r_colli.execute();
    var responseBody = responseFromColli.getBody();
    var httpstatus = responseFromColli.getStatusCode();
    workflow.info('Response body' + responseBody);
    workflow.info('status' + httpstatus);
 
 
 
 
} catch (ex) {
 
}

If one looks at the reference for method setRequestBody(), one will notice that a string is expected as parameter. So the system will apply method toString() to the object passed in as parameter to setRequestBody() and it will come out as [object Object] - which is not a valid JSON.

So instead of

r_colli.setRequestBody({
	"taskIds": [
		"${colli_id}"
	],
	"formProperties": {
		"success": "${approvalStatus1}",
		"failure": "${approvalStatus2}"
	}
});

try

var requestBody = {
		"taskIds": [
		"${colli_id}"
	],
		"formProperties": {
			"success": "${approvalStatus1}",
			"failure": "${approvalStatus2}"
		}
	},
	requestBodyJSON = JSON.stringify(requestBody);

	r_colli.setRequestBody(requestBodyJSON);

But that is still not OK, cause tokens ${colli_id}, ${approvalStatus1} and ${approvalStatus2} are not replaced/"resolved".

Since you are providing the request body yourself, you should not be using parameters.

Simply write:

var requestBody = {
		"taskIds": [
		collibra_id // I'm assuming colli_id should get the value in collibra_id
	],
		"formProperties": {
			"success": approvalStatus1,
			"failure": approvalStatus2
		}
	},
	...

instead.

Also for the sake of humanities survival and thriving, please always format your code. 🙂
