Testing ABAPUnit using POSTMAN

When you are executing gctsExecuteABAPUnitTests pipeline in Jenkins and getting errors like 405 etc.; you can test the ABAPUnit functionality by using POSTMAN to find the root cause of errors

  1. Firstly, get the X-CSRF-TOKEN using GET Request in POSTMAN.

In Postman, using GET Request where xxxxxxx is server name

http://xxxxxxx.com:50000/sap/opu/odata/SAP/adt_srv

In header tab, add the below syntax

This will return x-csrf-token

2. And afterward you can use the Request  POST                                 http://xxxxxxx..com:50000/sap/bc/adt/abapunit/testruns?sapclient=100

In Header, pass the CSRF Token obtained from step 1 and pass the key values for Accept and Content-Type as shown below

In the Body part; pass the below details – you need to pass the object name on which you  plan to execute ABAPUnit

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<aunit:runConfiguration xmlns:aunit=”http://www.sap.com/adt/aunit”>
<external>
<coverage active=”false”/>
</external>
<options>
<uriType value=”semantic”/>
<testDeterminationStrategy appendAssignedTestsPreview=”true” assignedTests=”false” sameProgram=”true”/>
<testRiskLevels critical=”true” dangerous=”true” harmless=”true”/>
<testDurations long=”true” medium=”true” short=”true”/>
<withNavigationUri enabled=”false”/>
</options>
<adtcore:objectSets xmlns:adtcore=”http://www.sap.com/adt/core”>
<objectSet kind=”inclusive”>
<adtcore:objectReferences>
<adtcore:objectReference adtcore:uri=”/sap/bc/adt/oo/classes/CLASS_NAME“/>
</adtcore:objectReferences>
</objectSet>
</adtcore:objectSets>
</aunit:runConfiguration>

Example in place of CLASS_NAME pass value of class ‘ZCL_ABAPUNIT_DEMO’ on which you plan to execute ABAP Unit. If everything is fine; it will return the status code as 200 and below response :

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<aunit:runResult xmlns:aunit=”http://www.sap.com/adt/aunit”>
<program adtcore:uri=”/sap/bc/adt/oo/classes/zcl_abapunit_demo” adtcore:type=”CLAS/OC” adtcore:name=”ZCL_ABAPUNIT_DEMO” uriType=”semantic” xmlns:adtcore=”http://www.sap.com/adt/core”>
<testClasses>
<testClass adtcore:uri=”/sap/bc/adt/oo/classes/zcl_abapunit_demo#testclass=LTCL_” adtcore:name=”LTCL_” uriType=”semantic” durationCategory=”short” riskLevel=”harmless”>
<testMethods>
<testMethod adtcore:uri=”/sap/bc/adt/oo/classes/zcl_abapunit_demo#testclass=LTCL_;testmethod=FIRST_TEST” adtcore:name=”FIRST_TEST” executionTime=”0″ uriType=”semantic” unit=”s”/>
</testMethods>
</testClass>
</testClasses>
</program>
</aunit:runResult>

In case of any errors, it will not return status code as 200 and you can validate the reason behind the errors as shown in response
