The configuration

cucumberTest:
  authorization:
    ...

is no longer required.
It must be set, if a default token can be used. Else the token must be provided via Background or inside of the Scenario.

Features

Added a new default matcher (${json-unit.matches:isNotEqualTo}string) to compare, that a value is not equal to a given string.
The string can be anything after the closing bracket:

{ "string": "${json-unit.matches:isNotEqualTo}another string" }

  Scenario: Validate field with a string that it is not the value
    When executing a GET call to "/api/v1/fieldValidation"
    Then I ensure that the status code of the response is 200
    And I ensure that the body of the response is equal to
    """
      {
        "string": "${json-unit.matches:isNotEqualTo}another string",
        "number": 12,
        "boolean": true,
        "list": [
          "First",
          "Second"
        ],
        "object": {
          "firstname": "John",
          "lastname": "Doe"
        },
        "uuid": "${json-unit.matches:isValidUUID}",
        "objectList": [
          {
            "first": 1,
            "second": 2
          },
          {
            "first": 3,
            "second": 4
          }
        ]
      }

Features

Added a new default matcher (${json-unit.matches:isNotEqualToScenarioContext}MY_CONTEXT_VALUE) to compare, that a value is not equal to the context:

    And I ensure that the body of the response is equal to
      """ 
        {
          "value": "${json-unit.matches:isNotEqualToScenarioContext}MY_CONTEXT_VALUE",
        }
      """

Small fix for URL encoded calls, to be able to leave a value empty if the parameters are dynamic.

New sentence added for application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST calls.

When executing a url-encoded POST call to "/api/form-encoded" with the fields
| Key    | Value         |
| first  | myFirstValue  |
| second | mySecondValue |

The first line of the fields MUST contain | Key | Value |.

In some cases, a @PostConstruct annotation was not executed in the correct order.
This has now been taken care of by moving the logic it contains to a constructor.

• Fix for URLs with http(s)://

Logging of requests and responses

Now all executing sentences log the request and response as scenario text in the report.
This makes problems in tests more visible on CI/CD scenarios.

Example:

When executing a GET call to "/api/v1/unauthorized"

  Request:
  ========
  HTTP Method: GET
  HTTP URL   : /api/v1/unauthorized
  Response:
  ========
  Status Code: 401 UNAUTHORIZED
  Body       : {"error_description":"Full authentication is required to access this resource","error":"unauthorized"}

New sentence

Given that the request body in the scenario context map has been reset

This sentence resets the body if a scenario uses 2 requests and the second should be empty.

Added logging that logs every HTTP method and URL.
This can make troubleshooting much easier, especially with dynamic URLs.
