Is there a REST API to get subfolders of the workspace in Tosca?

Question

I am trying to build a UI based in Angular to retrieve all existing execution lists of Tosca. However, I could not find a REST API that can give the list of folders within a workspace in Tosca. Has anyone tried this route?

You can use the Search task on the projectto find all ExecutionLists. Example:

{rest_url}/ToscaCommander/{workspace_name}/object/project/task/Search

as a post request with the xml payload:

<Parameters xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <Parameter>
        <Name>tqlString</Name>
        <Type i:nil="true"/>
        <Value>->SUBPARTS:TCFolder[Name=?"Execution"]=>SUBPARTS:ExecutionList</Value>
    </Parameter>
</Parameters>

This will give you a list of object ids of the ExecustionLists contained in the Execution folder of the project. You can fetch the objects one by one with this request afterwards:

{rest_url}/ToscaCommander/{workspace_name}/object/{object_id}

Credits for this solution go to the development team of ToscaCommander - they provided it.

P.S.: as an answer for your comment:

1. Yes, there is a json equivalent of the body - but you do not need it. Anyway, here is the equivalent:

   [{ "Name":"tqlString", "Value":"->SUBPARTS:TCFolder[Name=?\"Execution\"]=>SUBPARTS:ExecutionList" }]

2. If you want to get a json response (regardless of the request's payload's format) make sure your web.config sets AutomaticFormatSelectionEnabled to true (which should be the case). Then, in your requests, set the accept header accordingly:

   Accept: application/json
