Toolbar: REST

Purpose

The REST toolbar is used for editing REST web service definition files.

How to Open

The REST toolbar is available whenever a REST definition file (.rest) is visible in the Content View.

Toolbar Buttons

• Save Requests - Saves the current REST request definitions to the .rest file.

  

• Update Object Tree - Updates the main Rapise Object Tree with the current REST definitions. This converts each REST request into a Rapise learned object that can be scripted against.

• Add Header - Adds a standard or custom HTTP header to the current REST request.

  

• Add Parameter - Adds a parameter name and value to the current REST request. This is useful when your test script needs to pass different values (e.g., get book #1 vs. book #2).

  

• Add Credentials - Adds HTTP basic authentication credentials (username and password) to the request. This saves you from manually adding the header (which would require Base64-encoding the username and password).
