error: Unrenderable variable

[restagner]

I'm attempting to capture a response using jsonpath and then provide that response to the next endpoint as payload. However, when I attempt to run the script I get an error

variable <statement_request_ids> with value [173088,173089,173090,0,0,0,0] can not be rendered

Here is my script

POST http://hostname:8666/statementgentool

[
    payload here
 ]
 

HTTP 200
[Captures]
statement_request_ids: jsonpath "$[:].StatementRequestId"



POST http://hostname:8666/statementgentool/query

{{statement_request_ids}}


HTTP 200

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @restagner

Unfortunately, arrays and object variables can (still) not be rendered as it, just number, strings, boolean (nodes of arrays and object)
Depending on how is structured your response, if you know the size of your arrays, you can do something like this

POST http://hostname:8666/statementgentool
HTTP 200
[Captures]
id0: jsonpath "$[:].StatementRequestId[0]"
# this works too
# id0: jsonpath "$[:].StatementRequestId" nth 0 
id1: jsonpath "$[:].StatementRequestId[1]"
id2: jsonpath "$[:].StatementRequestId[2]"
# etc...

POST http://hostname:8666/statementgentool/query
[{{id0}}, {{id1}}, ... {{idn}}]

Hi @jcamiel ,

Thanks for the feedback. I will use your suggestion. Thankfully, the list I am dealing with is fixed.

Any idea/thoughts if arrays will ever be supported in Hurl?

[jcamiel]

Yes arrays / object are already supported, what's we have not designed is how to render an array.

You may want to render a list like a|b|c and not as a JSON array ["a","b","c"].

We want to implement a way to render a list as you want, in in the (long) TODO list!
