Request methods and status codes in Testing Fundamentals - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to check if the HTTP request method is GET.

Testing Fundamentals

if request.method == '[1]':
    print("This is a GET request")

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

APOST

BGET

CPUT

DDELETE

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using lowercase 'get' instead of uppercase 'GET'.

Confusing GET with POST method.

The HTTP method to retrieve data is GET. Checking if request.method equals 'GET' confirms the request type.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to assert the HTTP response status code is 404 (Not Found).

Testing Fundamentals

assert response.status_code == [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A200

B302

C404

D500

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 200 which means OK instead of 404.

Using string '404' instead of integer 404.

The status code 404 means the requested resource was not found. The assertion checks if the response matches this expected status.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code that checks if the request method is POST.

Testing Fundamentals

if request.method == '[1]':
    process_post_request()

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

APOST

Bpost

CPut

DGET

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using lowercase 'post' which will not match.

Confusing POST with PUT or GET.

The HTTP method names are case-sensitive and must be uppercase. Using 'POST' ensures the condition works correctly.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps status codes to their meaning for codes greater than 399.

Testing Fundamentals

error_codes = {code: messages[code] for code in codes if code [1] 399 and code [2] 600}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A>

B<

C>=

D<=

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using <= 399 includes non-error codes.

Using >= 600 includes codes outside standard HTTP status codes.

The comprehension filters codes greater than 399 and less than 600, which are client and server error codes.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps uppercase HTTP methods to their success status codes greater or equal to 200.

Testing Fundamentals

success_status = {method: code for method, code in method_codes.items() if code [1] 200 and method[2].isupper()}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A.lower()

B>=

D.upper()

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using .lower() which would convert method names incorrectly.

Using empty string for blank 2 which causes syntax error.

The comprehension keeps methods as keys (no change), filters codes >= 200, and checks if method names are uppercase using .upper().
