I need to automate some API tests using frisby.js and javascript, but I am having trouble accessing some data of a HTML response, most propabily because the response is not in JSON format.
Below is my code
var frisby = require('frisby');
frisby.create('Get some information')
.get(someUrl)
.after(function (err, res, body) {
console.log(body);
})
.toss()
Below is the result of console.log(body);
function

My question is do you know a way to reach value
's of PaReq
, TermUrl
and MD
HTML tags.
Thanks
I had to do some string operations to reach the values, below is the code which worked for accessing these values
var pareq = body.substr(body.search('name="PaReq"'),600);
pareq = pareq.substring(pareq.indexOf('value="')+7,pareq.indexOf('">'));
var termUrl = body.substr(body.search('name="TermUrl"'),200);
termUrl = termUrl.substring(termUrl.indexOf('value="')+7,termUrl.indexOf('">'));
var md = body.substr(body.search('name="MD"'),250);
md = md.substring(md.indexOf('value="')+7,md.indexOf('">'));
If you have better ways to solve this, please let me know, thanks!
