With stubbyClient.startJetty only stubbyClient.doGet works. When I try to access the configured URL from Browser or using apache HttpClient or HttpConnection, the response is 404. Why the jetty server started through stubbyClient not visible to other APIs.

I eventually found out it's the query string that is causing the problem, not sure though why that is working with stubbyClient but not with apache HttpClient or browser. The query string parameter that is causing the problem is as follows:
attributes: '["id","uuid","created","lastUpdated","displayName","email","givenName","familyName"]'. So my config.yaml looks like:

-  request:
      method: GET
      url: /entity.find
      query:
         type_name: user
         client_id: id
         client_secret: secret
         attributes: '["id","uuid","created","lastUpdated","displayName","email","givenName","familyName"]'
   response:
      status: 200
      file: entity-find-response.json
      headers:
         content-type: application/json

If I remove the "attributes" parameter above it works all right. But with it I get 404 on accessing from browser or apache HttpGet. Please note single quotes around the value for "attributes". If I remove it, stubbyClient starts returning 404 as well.

Hi,

Has anyone had a chance to look into it yet? I think I have found what was causing the problem. It's the double quotes in the query parameter which causes the problem (took me good two days with lots of trial and error to figure it out). I was initially wrongly assuming it's the '[]' brackets. So following is my finding:

attributes: ["id"] - fails with 404.
attributes: '["id"]'- fails from browser and any other http client api. Works with StubbyClient only.
attributes: '[%22id%22]' - makes browser and everyone else happy.

I would expect it to work with ["id"] as this is more sensible and readable. If you get a chance please give it a go and let me know what you think.

FYI - I tried file: as well in the request but that did not help either.

Thanks,
Ashish

It looks as if query-string parameters are not being URI-encoded while loading them into the system (or at least not at all entry points).

Sorry for the lack of "official" responses. We've been tied down at work lately. Flagging this as a bug.

Also edited a couple of the comments here to make the code portions more readable.

I am looking into this... Stay tuned

Ok... I have put a fix in place for the scenario when query string contains array with elements within as per your example. I have tested both for:
http://localhost:8882/entity.find?type_name=user&client_id=id&client_secret=secret&attributes=["id","uuid","created","lastUpdated","displayName","email","givenName","familyName"]
and
http://localhost:8882/entity.find.again?type_name=user&client_id=id&client_secret=secret&attributes=[id,uuid,created,lastUpdated,displayName,email,givenName,familyName]

Works both when making request programmatically via StubbyClient and browser. The bug will be resolved in v1.0.59. Will push it to Maven Central shortly

You can continue using your original configuration:

-  request:
      method: GET
      url: /entity.find
      query:
         type_name: user
         client_id: id
         client_secret: secret
         attributes: '["id","uuid","created","lastUpdated","displayName","email","givenName","familyName"]'
   response:
      status: 200
      file: entity-find-response.json
      headers:
         content-type: application/json

In other words, no need to replace double quotes with %22 in you YAML

I am closing the ticket for now, but please report if the problem is still persists.

Hi,

Thanks for putting the fix in place so quickly. I will pick up the new version and try as soon as possible. Can't wait to see my yaml look pretty again. Will keep you posted...

Hi Ashish,

Just in case, I am also supporting for:
http://localhost:8882/entity.find.single.quote?type_name=user&client_id=id&client_secret=secret&attributes=['id','uuid','created']
where array elements are enclosed with single quotes

Just get the latest version of stubby
