Question

Below error occurring on my code

${resp}=  Post Request  sw3  https://sw3-   test.test1.com/api/v1/test1/patients
\  ...  Content-Type:application/json
\  ...  Authorization:authkey02    Accept=application/json

Error as follows

KEYWORD ${resp} = RequestsLibrary . Post Request sw3, https://sw3-test.test1.com/api/v1/test1/patients, Content-Type:application/json, Authorization:authkey02, Accept=application/json
Documentation:

12:08:21.284    FAIL    AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'copy'

This works ok if i do not use the third line of code - what gives?

Answer 1

You can give it a try like passing those key:value pairs as a dictionary Header variable.

&{Header}=   Content-Type:application/json    Authorization:authkey02 
   Accept=application/json


${resp} = RequestsLibrary.Post Request  sw3   https://sw3-test.test1.com/api/v1/test1/patients    headers=${Header}
