json patch output in tests still string

[suarezrominajulieta]

In base to Andrea's comment:

"fine for now. not in this PR, but make new branch PR in which you create the following E2E for an API that:

has a POST to create a resource
has a PATCH to manipulate such created resource (404 if no resource)
and then make sure using DTO (there is a EMConfig for it), so that, in same generates test, we have a DTO used for POST following a call on PATCH without DTO (ie Patch must use a string representation, at least for now). any case, test should not fail to compile"

i created this pr with a test that proves that. this is one of the success test generated:

/**
* Calls:
* 1 - (201) POST:/api/jsonpatchdto/resources
* 2 - (200) PATCH:/api/jsonpatchdto/resources/{id}
*/
@Test @Timeout(60)
public void test_4_patchOnResourcReturns200() throws Exception {
    
    BBJsonPatchResourceDto dto_BBJsonPatchResourceDto_1 = new BBJsonPatchResourceDto();
    dto_BBJsonPatchResourceDto_1.setName("1GmNB");
    dto_BBJsonPatchResourceDto_1.setAge(618);
    
    ValidatableResponse res_0 = given().accept("application/json")
            .contentType("application/json")
            .body(dto_BBJsonPatchResourceDto_1)
            .post(baseUrlOfSut + "/api/jsonpatchdto/resources")
            .then()
            .statusCode(201)
            .assertThat()
            .contentType("application/json");
    String location_resources__2 = "/api/jsonpatchdto/resources" + "/" + res_0.extract().body().path("id").toString();
    
    given().accept("text/plain")
            .contentType("application/json-patch+json")
            .body(" [ { " + 
                " \"op\" : \"test\", " + 
                " \"path\" : \"/c\", " +

            .patch(resolveLocation(location_resources__2, baseUrlOfSut + "/api/jsonpatchdto/resources/-2191309024963475557"))
            .then()
            .statusCode(200)
            .assertThat()
            .contentType("text/plain")
            .body(containsString("patched"));
}

add a comment to specify why test is only run for those formats

[arcuri82]

the inherited class EnterpriseTestBase already has methods such as assertTextInTests that should work here. use those instead of creating new one, unless those do not match your needs. also, as this would be a general function that could be re-used in different tests, shouldn't be here, but rather moved higher up in the hierarchy (eg under EnterpriseTestBase)

[arcuri82]

or into SpringTestBase if specific to BB

[arcuri82]

this could be generalized, with 2 input verbs, and moved up to RestTestBase
