[CONTROLLER-752] When saving over data which already exists the JSON response contains forward slash.

Fri, 5 Sep 2014 07:29:42 +0000

I am raising this as a bug because the presence or (lack of) of '/' leads to inconsistencies in describing the expected response.

TEST ENV
org.opendaylight.controller.version = 0.1
org.opendaylight.controller.build.scm.version = 78fec1c1c5a3720bd48d1044703824626f08b5d9
org.opendaylight.controller.build.user = jenkins-controller
org.opendaylight.controller.build.workspace = **********
org.opendaylight.controller.build.timestamp = 1409283738738
org.opendaylight.controller.build.machine = **********

I tried to save data which already exists in datastore in JSON format to a location behind /config root. I then tried to invoke an error response by saving the same data again. No special config was used.

Steps

method is: post
uri is: /restconf/config/opendaylight-inventory:nodes
headers is:

{'content-type': 'application/json', 'accept': 'application/json'}

data is: {
"opendaylight-inventory:node":[

{ "id":"id2" }

]
}
expected_status is: 204

and then repeat

method is: post
uri is: /restconf/config/opendaylight-inventory:nodes
headers is:

{'content-type': 'application/json', 'accept': 'application/json'}

data is: {
"opendaylight-inventory:node":[

{ "id":"id2" }

]
}
expected_status is: 409
expected response is

{
"errors": {
"error": [
{
"error-message": "Data already exists for path: (urn:opendaylight:inventory?revision=2013-08-19)nodes(urn:opendaylight:inventory?revision=2013-08-19)node[

{(urn:opendaylight:inventory?revision=2013-08-19)id=id2}

]",
"error-tag": "data-exists",
"error-type": "protocol"
}
]
}
}

ACTUAL RESPONSE

{
"errors": {
"error": [
{
"error-type": "protocol",
"error-tag": "data-exists",
"error-message": "Data already exists for path: /(urn:opendaylight:inventory?revision=2013-08-19)nodes/node/node[

{(urn:opendaylight:inventory?revision=2013-08-19)id=id2}

]"
}
]
}
}

NOTES
The path on the "error message" key also looks wrong. nodes is duplicated.
