HTTP post request using groovy script

[Sekhar Chandra]

Hi All,

I tried a groovy script for httpbuilder and when running it in script runner i am getting result as "null".

could you guys please help me out this, where i went wrong with the script? Here I attach my script code.

Thanks 

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.*
import groovyx.net.http.ContentType
import static groovyx.net.http.Method.*
def http = new HTTPBuilder('https://abc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/$project/topics/$topic:publish')
def project = 'app-ne-preprod-lls-atlassian'
def topic = 'xyz_project_all_issue_events'
def access_token = 'ya29.c.KmC6B7IHIUh8afwaYc5KNSwlEtiyTVXLvcRDjd-t6WJFESYPlV4kxmDB9vAhO9snExsPJVYzd2SXIl5uBQMVlDRwsCl1ORpdDD5Pt697tGdA5rxrYZpAR1Yhz6CC9FMAhbY'
http.request(POST) {
//uri.path = 'https://abc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/$project/topics/$topic:publish'
requestContentType = ContentType.JSON
headers.'Authorization' = "token $access_token"
body = ["messages": ["data": "test"]]
response.success = { resp ->
println "Success! ${resp.status}"
}
response.failure = { resp ->
println "Request failed with status ${resp.status}"
}
}

Hi @Sekhar Chandra 

I see potentially 2 errors in 

def http = new HTTPBuilder('https://abc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/$project/topics/$topic:publish')

1) $variable are not expanded in strings with single quote.

2) $project and $topic are not defined yet when you initialize the http object

This it like this:

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.*
import groovyx.net.http.ContentType
import static groovyx.net.http.Method.*

def project = 'app-ne-preprod-lls-atlassian'
def topic = 'xyz_project_all_issue_events'
def access_token = 'ya29.c.KmC6B7IHIUh8afwaYc5KNSwlEtiyTVXLvcRDjd-t6WJFESYPlV4kxmDB9vAhO9snExsPJVYzd2SXIl5uBQMVlDRwsCl1ORpdDD5Pt697tGdA5rxrYZpAR1Yhz6CC9FMAhbY'

def http = new HTTPBuilder("https://abc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/$project/topics/$topic:publish")

http.request(POST) {
   //uri.path = 'https://abc.googleapis.com/v1/projects/$project/topics/$topic:publish'
   requestContentType = ContentType.JSON
   headers.'Authorization' = "token $access_token"
   body = [messages: [data: "test"]]
   response.success = { resp ->
      println "Success! ${resp.status}"
   }
   response.failure = { resp ->
      println "Request failed with status ${resp.status}"
   }
}

Thanks @Peter-Dave Sheehan 

when running this code in script runner I'm getting "connection reset" error like this,

That might be something specific to your environment.

You should make sure you are able to make a simple (like just GET without authorization) request and work it out from there.
