JSONPath plugin

Note, shoudl be added to general json plugin

Can run jsonpath expressions in vscode. Alternative is to use https://jsonpath.com/ 

Once plugin is added ctrl-shift-p to get command pallette

Run Jsonpath: Extract json data with their paths

Some samples: (From nexus response)

$.components.length   = 33

$.components[0].displayName

$.components[0].licenseData

$.components[*].displayName

$.components[*].licenseData.effectiveLicenseThreats

$.components[*].licenseData.effectiveLicenseThreats.length

$.components[*].securityData.securityIssues

$.components[*].dependencyData

RESTClient

1/ Add variables for hosts / usernames passwords per env

Create folder .vscode/settings.json

e.g.  

Then chose and env from the bottem right

{

    "rest-client.environmentVariables": {

"dev" : {

            "url" : "htttp://urlDev",

            "user": "blah",

            "password":"myPass"

}

         "uat" : {

            "url" : "htttp://urlUat",

            "user": "blah2",

            "password":"myPass2"

}

}

}

2/ Capture results and reuse

e.g. These examples are of queries reports from NexusIQ

see getAppIdResp contains the request and response, and we use this to take the applciationId and use it in the next answer (Using jsonPath). Note be careful to spot arrays.

### Get application Id by name

# @name getAppIdResp

GET {{url}}/api/v2/applications?publicId=My Project

Authorization: Basic {{user}} {{token}}

### Get individual reports

# @name getReports

GET {{url}}/api/v2/reports/applications/{{getAppIdResp.response.body.$.applications[0].id}}

Authorization: Basic {{user}} {{token}}

### Using reportDataUrl from previous result we get the link to the raw data

# @name getReport

GET {{url}}/{{getReports.response.body.$[0].reportDataUrl}}

Authorization: Basic {{user}} {{token}}

### Using reportDataUrl from previous result we get the link to the raw data

# @name report

GET {{url}}/api/v2/applications/CAASBUILD-nexus-pipeline/reports/b38675be326741678d907d3d35dac573/raw

Authorization: Basic {{user}} {{token}}

### Using reportDataUrl from change context to policy to get policy violations

GET {{url}}/api/v2/applications/CAASBUILD-nexus-pipeline/reports/b38675be326741678d907d3d35dac573/policy

Authorization: Basic {{user}} {{token}}

Nice!
