Notes on VSCode
JSON jump to opening closing bracket: ctrl - shift - \
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!
