I cannot refer to the stored value

[martynaol]

I want to store the access token to use this value later. I have :

const pactum = require('pactum');
const { Given, When, Then, Before } = require('@cucumber/cucumber');

Before(async () => {
    await pactum
      .spec()
      .post('/credentials')
      .withForm({
        username: email,
        password: passw,
      })
      .expectStatus(200)
      .stores('token', 'access_token');
})
    pactum.request.setDefaultHeaders('Authorization', 'Bearer $S{token}');

syntax '$S{token}' is a string, the next request is with "headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer $S{token}"
},

what am I doing wrong?

Try invoking the setDefaultHeaders method inside Before block after storing the token.

const { spec, request } = require('pactum');
const { Given, When, Then, Before } = require('@cucumber/cucumber');

Before(async () => {
  await spec()
      .post('/credentials')
      .withForm({
        username: email,
        password: passw,
      })
      .expectStatus(200)
      .stores('token', 'access_token');
  request.setDefaultHeaders('Authorization', 'Bearer $S{token}');
});

Still have the same issue : "Authorization": "Bearer $S{token}" . I decided to use returns

[ASaiAnudeep]

Able to replicate the bug. Creating an issue #137 for the same.

Using the suggested method, the requested header value output is "Bearer Bearer $S{userAt}", userAt is used in stores call.

• The call is made without transforming the $S{userAt}
• The call is made with doubling prefix of $S{userAt} i.e. "Bearer "

[with pactum@3.4.0, node 16.20.0]

Can this be a bug?

[ASaiAnudeep]

This happens when no value is stored and $S{userAt} returns undefined.

• $S{userAt} is not transformed in output... it just emits itself.
• value of access_token is received from request
  Code sample is given here ...

[jd4u]

Below is the test code...

beforeAll(async () => {

       await pactum
            .spec()
            .post('/auth/signin')
            .withBody(dtoLogin)
            .expectStatus(200)
            .stores('userAt', 'access_token');

        pactum.request.setDefaultHeaders(
            'Authorization',
            `Bearer $S{userAt}`,
        );
        console.log('pactum store done in before');
    });
    describe('Get me', () => {
        it('should get current user', () => {
            return pactum
                .spec()
                .get('/user/me')
                .inspect()
                .expectStatus(200);
        });
    });

Login request output is {access_token:"token", refresh_token:""}

Below is console log

console.warn
    {
      "url": "http://localhost:3344/user/me",
      "method": "GET",
      "path": "/user/me",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer Bearer $S{$userAt}"
      },
      "timeout": 3000
    }

[jd4u]

• with beforeAll( async ()=>{}, the output value repeats the prefix i.e. "Bearer Bearer $S{userAt}"
• with beforeAll(()=>{}, the output value DO NOT repeat the prefix i.e. "Bearer $S{userAt}"
• The stored value output is not happening
