In Karate DSL, How do I resolve an Unsupported Media Type for a valid POST REQUEST

So I created a dynamic POST Request using the features in Karate. I tested out the newly created request manually and It did return a 200. However, when running the request through Karate, I am getting a 415 Unsupported media type.

POST REQUEST: 

{
  "content": [
    {
      "assetId": "273108817",
      "country" : "US",
      "sourceSystemCode" : "GE_Clarify",
      "serviceRequestCode" : "Karate-Insert: 157264280",
      "serviceRequestTypeCode" : "servicerequestcorrective",
      "serviceRequestStatusCode" : "Started",
      "requester" : "Karate,DSL",
      "problem" : "Submitted Using Karate",
      "submissionTimestamp" : null,
      "sourceUpdateDate": "2017-09-13T15:53:51.597Z",
      "completionDate" : null,
      "dueDate" : null,
      "availabilityDate" : null,
      "remotely" : "0",
      "assetAvailability" : "Up",
      "facilityCode" : "US_294629"
    }
  ]
}

Karate Syntax

Scenario: Submit a new Service Request POST:

Error message in below attachment. Note, I checked the request manually through Swagger UI and everything worked fine. I also passed it in as a hard coded variable in Karate and it worked fine. However, something about using the 'table' feature seems to change the media type.

The moment you use replace the type is converted to string - and this is clearly mentioned in the documentation.

So you have two options: a) type-cast the result of the replace back to JSON b) set the Content-Type header manually.

Hope that helps !

You need to add the content type as well by using header keyword as below

Given path 'some/path'

And request { some: 'data' }

And header Accept = 'application/json'

When method post

Then status 200

Hope this helps.
