The engine should validate the dictionary values are all quoted

[marina-p]

💡 Idea

The array values in the dictionary must all be strings. For example:

Correct way to define a fuzzable int:

  "restler_fuzzable_int": [
    "1"
  ],

Incorrect way to define a fuzzable int:

  "restler_fuzzable_int": [
    1
  ],

We need to validate this in the engine before proceeding, since later errors can be difficult to debug.

Hello @gauravdhiman217,

Yes, the issue is still open. The way to implement the validation would be in the engine. Taking a quick look, I suggest starting with adding it to the set_candidate_values method of the CandidateValuesPool class. You can create a separate function (could be local function) and validate it at the very beginning.

To test this, you will need to add a unit test in the engine unit tests with the invalid dictionary.

Thanks,

Marina

Hey @marina-p Thank You So much for responding. I am going through code base and try to understand the flow. I have one question , here we are only concern about custom dict . right ?
