How can I solve this error in Apex REST Callout challenge ?

Global class AnimalLocator {
    Global static String getAnimalNameById(Integer numb){
        String response;
        Http http = new Http();
        HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
        request.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals/'+numb);
        request.setMethod('GET');
        HttpResponse resp = http.send(request);
        if(resp.getStatusCode()==200){
            Map<String,Object> results = (Map<String,Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody());
            Map<String,Object> animal = (Map<String,Object>)results.get('animal');
            response = (String)animal.get('name');
        }
        return response;
    }
}
I'm getting the error "Method does not exist or incorrect signature : void getBody() from String type "

Hi Kiran,

Try below code for AnimalLocator class:-

public class AnimalLocator {
    
    public class AnimalInstanceClass {
        public Integer id;    
        public String name;    
        public String eats;    
        public String says;    
    } 
    
    public class JSONResponseClass{
        public AnimalInstanceClass animal;
    }
    
    public static String getAnimalNameById (Integer id) {
        Http http = new Http();
        HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
        request.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals/' + id);
        request.setMethod('GET');
        HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
        system.debug('response: ' + response.getBody());
        JSONResponseClass results = (JSONResponseClass) JSON.deserialize(response.getBody(), JSONResponseClass.class);
        system.debug('results= ' + results.animal.name);
        return(results.animal.name);
    }

}

Hi Pramod I got where the error is in my class, the line 10 should be  
Map<String, Object> results = (Map<String, Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(resp.getBody());

instead of  
Map<String,Object> results = (Map<String,Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody());

SO the previous problem is solved

Now the Challenge is  Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
"The Apex test class 'AnimalLocatorTest' does not appear to be using the AnimalLocatorMock class correctly."

My Test Class 

@isTest
private class AnimalLocatorTest {
    static TestMethod void testGetLocCallout(){
        //Create the mock response based on the static resource
        StaticResourceCalloutMock mock1 = new StaticResourceCalloutMock();
        mock1.setStaticResource('GetAnimalLocResource');
        mock1.setStatusCode(200);
        mock1.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8');
        // Associate the callout with a mock response
        Test.setMock(HttpCalloutMock.class, mock1);
        // Call method to test
        Integer i=1;
        String result = AnimalLocator.getAnimalNameById(i);
        //Verify mock response is not null
        System.assertNotEquals('chicken',result,
          'The animal name is returned wrongly');
        // Verify the array contains 3 items     
        //Map<String, Object> results = (Map<String, Object>) JSON.deserializeUntyped(result.getBody());
        //List<Object> animal = (List<Object>) results.get('animal');
        //System.assertEquals(null, animal,'There is no name for animal.');
    }

}


My Mock Class

@isTest
global class AnimalLocatorMock implements HttpCalloutMock {
	global HTTPResponse respond(HTTPRequest request) {
        // Create a fake response
        HttpResponse response = new HttpResponse();
        response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        response.setBody('{"animal":{"id":1,"name":"chicken","eats":"chicken food","says":"cluck cluck"}}');
        response.setStatusCode(200);
        return response; 
    }
}
How can I solve it ?

Hi Kiran,

Try below code:-

1) AnimalLocatorTest class**********-

@IsTest
global class AnimalLocatorTest {
    global HTTPresponse respond(HTTPrequest request) {
        Httpresponse response = new Httpresponse();
        response.setStatusCode(200);
        response.setBody('{"animal":{"id":1,"name":"chicken","eats":"chicken food","says":"cluck cluck"}}');
        return response;
    }
    @isTest
    public static void testAnimalLocator() {
        Test.setMock(HttpCalloutMock.class, new AnimalLocatorMock());
        //Httpresponse response = AnimalLocator.getAnimalNameById(1);
        String s =  AnimalLocator.getAnimalNameById(1);
        system.debug('string returned: ' + s);
    }

}

2) AnimalLocatorMock class**********-

@IsTest
global class AnimalLocatorMock implements HttpCalloutMock {
    
    global HTTPresponse respond(HTTPrequest request) {
        Httpresponse response = new Httpresponse();
        response.setStatusCode(200);
        response.setBody('{"animal":{"id":1,"name":"chicken","eats":"chicken food","says":"cluck cluck"}}');
        return response;
    }

}

Thanks Pramod ,
I just did something similar in Test.setMock line like you did and it worked for me. 
Thanks for you help.
