hello guys, i am using

valueFromProviderState

syntax in a test and i was wondering if there is any trick to apply a function on the value return by the state provider i.e the state populates the map with

userId

in the test to use something like

newJsonBody((payload) ->
                payload.valueFromProviderState("id", () -> Base64.encode("${userId}"), "MTIzCg=="))
                .build()

The provider state callback is the place to do it, in the consumer test you use an example value, and then you can replace it with whatever you need in the provider state callback

@uglyog thank you for your response but i am not sure i follow, i invoke the provider state callback (

valueFromProviderState("id", "${userId}", "whatever")

) but i would like to be able to manipulate/change the injected value of userId (for example, encode it)

valueFromProviderState("id", "${userId}", "whatever")

does not invoke anything, it configures things so that when provider state callback is invoked on the provider side, it will use the values returned from that instead of the example one. On the consumer side, it uses the example value.

got it, thank you. the goal was to avoid exposing flavours for the same value (

userId

) in the provider state callback. i managed to do this by adding a new generator to

LambdaDslJsonBody

which works almost the same as

ProviderStateGenerator

but before returning the value, applies a function which is provided as param. so the provider state callback does not duplicate returned values (with different flavours). not sure if would be widely used but seems like a simple addition to

ProviderStateGenerator

and

valueFromProviderState

i.e. default no op function as param for

valueFromProviderState

and

ProviderStateGenerator

class attribute which would be applied on value returned by

this.ep.containsExpressions(this.expression, true) 
? this.ep.parseExpression(this.expression, this.dataType, (ValueResolver)(new MapValueResolver(map)), true) 
: map.get(this.expression);

and on

example
