Hi @StefH ! I hope this message finds you well! 😃

Question

-> How to append request body properties for response templating?

Context

I am trying to append two values received in the request, but I receive the following error when trying to append them:
500 Internal server error

{
    "Status": "Object of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JValue' cannot be converted to type 'System.String'."
}

Mapping

server
    .Given(Request
        .Create()
        .UsingPost())
    .WithData(new 
    {
        data = new Dictionary<string, string>
        {
            { "1234567890SEDCRFVGTBHYH", "value" }
        }
    })
    .RespondWith(Response
        .Create()
        .WithStatusCode(200)
        .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
        .WithBodyAsJson(new
        {
            testAppend = "{{ String.Append request.bodyAsJson.first_id request.bodyAsJson.second_id }}",            
            valueGotFromDict = "{{ String.FormatAsString (lookup data (String.Append request.bodyAsJson.first_id request.bodyAsJson.second_id) '') }}",
        })
        .WithTransformer());

My objective is to be able to get the value according to the valueGotFromDict response property (concatenate 2 request body properties to generate the key that I will search for in a dictionary, but I am not able to resolve the "Append" part at the moment.

Request example

{
    "first_id" : "1234567890",
    "second_id":"SEDCRFVGTBHYH"
}

I wasn't able to find examples in the docs or the internet, so could you please help me?

Please let me know if you need any information.
Thanks!

Maybe, you can try:

{{Expression request.bodyAsJson.first_id.ToString() + request.bodyAsJson.second_id.ToString() }}
@StefH commented on GitHub (Jan 10, 2024): Maybe, you can try: ``` handlebars {{Expression request.bodyAsJson.first_id.ToString() + request.bodyAsJson.second_id.ToString() }} ```

Hello @StefH !
I am sorry for this late reply. I didn't see the notification for this thread.

It didn't work. I had to write a custom handlebar to achieve my intentions, unfortunately.

handlebarsContext.RegisterHelper("Concat", (output, context, arguments) =>
{
    var stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

    foreach (var argument in arguments)
        stringBuilder.Append(GetArgumentValue(argument));

    output.WriteSafeString(stringBuilder.ToString());
});

I started debugging the project (weeks ago), and if I recall correctly, it seemed that the context was not loaded when executing the Append handlebar function... Unfortunately, it was weeks ago, and I don't have (or remember) more details to provide... 😢
