[java client, gson] Expose @SerializedName value as constant #21
Description
Sometimes when you are writing tests for an API (with Rest-Assured in my case) you can not use the fluent API to build request, because you want to create an alternative request (malformed, corner case...)
You can use rest-assured RequestSpecBuilder for that. You then write code like this:
final String updateBody = "{"
+ "\"id\": \"" + req.getId() + "\", "
+ "\"version\": \"" + req.getVersion() + "\", "
+ "\"name\": \"" + req.getName() + "\", "
+ "\"billingAddressId\": null, "
+ "\"contactAddressId\": null, "
+ "\"metadata\": null}";
final Account account = createSuperAdminApi().accountsUpdate().simulateQuery(true)
.reqSpec(b -> b.setBody(updateBody))
.executeAs(r -> r.thenReturn());
I would be great instead of hard-coding the json member like this, to be able to reference constants:
final String updateBody = "{"
+ "\""+ Acount.SERIALIZED_NAME_Id +"\": \"" + req.getId() + "\", "
+ "\""+ Acount.SERIALIZED_NAME_Version +"\": \"" + req.getVersion() + "\", "
+ "\""+ Acount.SERIALIZED_NAME_Name +"\": \"" + req.getName() + "\", "
+ "\""+ Acount.SERIALIZED_NAME_BillingAddressId +"\": null, "
+ "\""+ Acount.SERIALIZED_NAME_ContactAddressId +"\": null, "
+ "\"metadata\": null}";
This way, when the API evolves, the Java compiler indicates that something needs to be changed in the test case (the same way that the fluent api is also changed).
