I'm getting the following error,
Error: Error parsing JSON string: Unexpected token <
Given: <html>
<body>
<p>
<b>400.</b> Invalid json request: numOfDays=1&checkInDate=2013-04-10.
Make sure that key names and text values are quoted with "
</p>
</body>
</html>
Stacktrace:
using the following code:
var frisby = require('frisby');
frisby.create('Ensure proper values in specified keys')
.post('http://localhost:9090/bookRoom', {"numOfDays": 1 , "checkInDate":"2013-04-10"})
.expectJSON({
"checkInDate": "2013-04-10",
"checkOutDate": "2013-04-11",
"totalPrice": 130
})
.toss()
I'm trying to pass this JSON - {"numOfDays": 1 , "checkInDate":"2013-04-10"}
EDIT:
It seems that the JSON being passed is in the following format. How do I get rid of those backslashes?
Handling booking request: "{\"numOfDays\":\"1\",\"checkInDate\":\"2013-04-10\"}"
I've just run into the same problem but I used different parameters for post. Precisely I added
{json: true}as 3rd parameter and after a few minutes of struggling I removed it and it worked.It looks your case might be the other way around. Try to put that 3rd parameter in the
postmethod call and hope the best.Related documentation: API docs
