possible mix-use of str and unicode in python 2.7

[qingqi]

There are multiple occurrence of string.format method. And when the method is called with unicode object, UnicodeEncodeError would be thrown.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "resttest.py", line 918, in command_line_run(sys.argv[1:]) File "resttest.py", line 914, in command_line_run main(args) File "resttest.py", line 856, in main failures = run_testsets(tests) File "resttest.py", line 657, in run_testsets result = run_test(test, test_config=myconfig, context=context, curl_handle=curl_handle) File "resttest.py", line 412, in run_test body=body, headers=head, context=my_context) File "/Users/baidu/workspace/git/pyresttest/pyresttest/validators.py", line 386, in validate self.comparator_name, extracted_val, expected_val) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: ordinal not in range(128)

Sample cases:

• test:
  • group: "ic-hui"
  • name: "facade/relatedCategory/get"
  • method: "POST"
  • headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
  • body: '{"kw":"液晶电视"}'
  • url: {template: "/facade/relatedCategory/get"}
  • expected_status: [200]
  • validators:
  • compare: {jsonpath_mini: "status", comparator: "eq", expected: 0}
  • compare: {jsonpath_mini: "data.result.0", comparator: "contains", expected: "电视"}

sample response: {"status":0,"msg":"","data":{"result":[{"id":100972,"title":"PHILIPS 飞利浦 58PFL3740/T3 全高清LED液晶电视（黑色） 58英寸","subTitle":"","shortReason":"逐点高清技术，多接口多格式支持，性价比高。","price":"4099.0","priceHighlight":"历史最低","categoryId":1000569,"categoryName":"LED电视","merchantId":1,"merchantName":"京东商城","rejectReason":"","auditStatus":5}]}}

So I have a solution for this encode/decode error.

Edit your validators.py as below:

def validate(self, body=None, headers=None, context=None):

    reload(sys)
    sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

    try:
        extracted_val = self.extractor.extract(
            body=body, headers=headers, context=context)

so

    reload(sys)
    sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

is the key for output displayed correctly.
