The Apex class does not appear to be calling the REST endpoint using HttpRequest.

Hi All,

I am doing Apex Rest Callouts in Trailhead Apex Integration Service Module.
https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead/force_com_dev_intermediate/apex_integration_services/apex_integration_rest_callouts

This is AnimalLocator class. 
public class AnimalLocator{
    public static String getAnimalNameById(Integer x){
        Http h = new Http();
        HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
        
        req.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals/' + x);
        
        req.setMethod('GET');
        
        HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
        Map<String, Object> results = (Map<String, Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(res.getBody());
        Map<String, Object> animal = (Map<String, Object>) results.get('animal');
        return (String)animal.get('name');
    }
}
However, I was encountered this error when checking challenge. 
Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The Apex class does not appear to be calling the REST endpoint using HttpRequest.
I have no idea what it means, but I have call the REST endpoint.

Steven,

You are doing everything correctly. There's a stupid issue that I've corrected. In the meantime, if you change line #3 in AnimalLocatior to the following (plus an other dependent code) it will work:
  
Http http = new Http();

Thanks

Hi,

Please ensure your end point url should be stored in remote site settings of the org which you have connected with Trailhead.

Hi Pankaj,

I have added the endpoint to the remote site settings.

And I have executed the code, it returns. It also passed the test execution.

Gale, I think I answered this in another thread... https://developer.salesforce.com/forums?communityId=09aF00000004HMGIA2#!/feedtype=SINGLE_QUESTION_DETAIL&dc=Trailhead&criteria=ALLQUESTIONS&id=906F0000000MJADIA4

Jeff, I am having the same issue as Gale and I am not sure what's wrong. Here is my code for the TestClass and HttpCalloutMock 
  
@isTest
global class AnimalLocatorMock implements HttpCalloutMock {
    // Implement this interface method
    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; 
    }
}

@isTest 
private class AnimalLocatorTest {
    @isTest static void testGetCallout() {
        // Set mock callout class 
        Test.setMock(HttpCalloutMock.class, new AnimalLocatorMock ()); 
        string animal_name = AnimalLocator.getAnimalNameById(1);
        String expectedValue = 'chicken';
        System.assertEquals(animal_name, expectedValue);
    }
}

Mohsin,

Try changing line #6 in your code to the correct answer chosen (in green) by Steven Ke. That should do the trick.

Hi Jeff,

I am not sure how that would work. You are asking me to replace HttpResponse response = new HttpResponse(); with Http http = new Http();. 

Anyways I still tried that and as expected it did not allow me to save the change because the code is expecting an object of type HttpResponse and not of type Http.

@Mohsin.Raza - did you figure it out / get the test class working?
I'm having trouble as well (first due to a namespace in my Dev org), then similar to above.
Could it be that your expected value is asserting only 1 item "Chicken" while the response comes back with id, name, eats ... ?
Mohsin.RazaMohsin.Raza
@bruce - no I haven't been able to resolve this yet. I dont think the problem is with expected and actual values. The value being returned by AnimalLocator.getAnimalNameById(1) is indeed chicken. This function returns the animal name and not the whole JSON object.

@Jeff, what do you think is the problem here?
Yash GandhiYash Gandhi
Mohsin,
Try removing the space between 'AnimalLocatorMock' and the brackets() in line 18 of your code above. That did the trick for me. So basically  you should have 
Test.setMock(HttpCalloutMock.class, new AnimalLocatorMock());
instead of
Test.setMock(HttpCalloutMock.class, new AnimalLocatorMock ());

Thanks
Yash

Thanks Yash. That worked like a charm.

Dear Mohsin,

I am gettiing unexcepted token @ ----- at second isTest line,
please resolve...,

Hi Bhaskar, can you please post your code here so that I can try and see what the issue is?

Hi Guys, 
   I am new and i have been trying this challenge. I understand since it is going to be only one object that is returned by through the body of response. the OP has used "Map<String, Object> animal = (Map<String, Object>) results.get('animal');" 

I am wondering like in the tutorial, if we use the List Map instead of just Map. will we get the same result. i tried it but it threw an error saying attempting to de reference a null object. can anyone give clarification on this.

@Akshata

the code where you call the mock class in your test class has an extra space which is causing the issue. try removing that extra space.

Currently your code is:
        Test.SetMock(HttpCallOutMock.class, new  AnimalLocatorMock());

but it should be
        Test.SetMock(HttpCallOutMock.class, new AnimalLocatorMock());

Please try this and let me know if this works or not.
Mohsin.RazaMohsin.Raza
@Dhinesh,

the reason why list<map> wont work is because the JSON response from the HTTPCallout returns a single object instead of an array of object. We use list when we expect array of object being returned by the HTTPCallout. This is the JSON response that we get from the HTTPCallout that we are making in this example.

{"animal":{"id":1,"name":"chicken","eats":"chicken food","says":"cluck cluck"}}

Can some one help me here please.
Jeff DouglasJeff Douglas
I think the problem is that you are not passing the ID of the animal as part of the endpoint. Try this:
  
request.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals/' + x);

Dear All, above my code is working  is fine.
Just copy and paste run the class, run test class and finally, run all test.
I will work fine.
