Handle error HTTPBuilder groovy

Question

I have this code snippet which will call an API and return a list of Users in List format: return http.request(Method.GET, ContentType.JSON) { uri.path = USERS_ENDPOINT } as List That example will work perfectly if there is no problem with the API. Now I want to handle the case where this API returns an error (such as 401, 500): * If the API call is successful, return the data as List immediately * If there is any problem, do something and go to the next line I have tried this but it does not work: http.request(Method.GET, ContentType.JSON) { uri.path = USERS_ENDPOINT response.success { res, reader -> return reader as List } response.failed { // do somthing here, a logging for example log.warn "Failed" } } // the next statement I want to execute after the API call has been failed Any idea on this?

Hi Ryker,

You can try something like below:

def http = new HTTPBuilder('http://localhost:XXXX/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/getCurrentUser')
def test = http.request(Method.GET, ContentType.JSON) {
   uri.path = "/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/getCurrentUser"

response.success = { res, reader ->
      //return reader as List<Map>
      log.warn("Success!" )
   }

response.failure = { resp, reader ->
      // do somthing here, a logging for example
      log.warn("Failed!" )
   }
}

return test
