Road to verify 200 response code of web application in java webdriver

This post will help to verify HTTP response code 200 of web application using java webdriver. As webdriver does not support direct any function to verify page response code. But using "WebClient" of HtmlUnit API we can achieve this.

Html unit API is GUI less browser for java developer, using WebClent class we can send request  to application server and verify response header status.

Below code, I used in my webdriver script to verify response 200 of web application

 String url = "http://www.google.com/";

 WebClient webClient = new WebClient();

 HtmlPage htmlPage = webClient.getPage(url);

 //verify response

 Assert.assertEquals(200,htmlPage.getWebResponse().getStatusCode());

 Assert.assertEquals("OK",htmlPage.getWebResponse().getStatusMessage());

If HTTP authentication is required in web application use below code.

 String url = "Application Url";

           

 WebClient webClient = new WebClient();

 DefaultCredentialsProvider credential = new DefaultCredentialsProvider();

           

 //Set some example credentials

 credential.addCredentials("UserName", "Passeord");          

 webClient.setCredentialsProvider(credential);

           

 HtmlPage htmlPage = webClient.getPage(url);

 //verify response

 Assert.assertEquals(200,htmlPage.getWebResponse().getStatusCode());

 Assert.assertEquals("OK",htmlPage.getWebResponse().getStatusMessage());
