    richie,

    See adding this to existing script and helps!

    //assumes json is defined and field name is DataSourceId_Name
    json.data.DataSourceId_Name.each {
    assert it == it.toUpperCase()
    }

Hi richie ,

 

Scripts definetely help. However, it is a good practice to keep the tests simple and use in built functionality instead. This would make the whole thing easier to maintain and easier to understand for a new tester for instance.

 

In your particular case, why would you use code and not an in-built regex assertion?

    Hey man  I'll take anything - I'd been up all night working when  I posted this -  regex didn't even enter my head! ;)

     

    However - its on a repeating attribute - there's maybe 20,000 records of data - yes I can use a contains assertion using regex  but how would I use the embedded functionality to assert a repeating 'whatever' attribute is upper case for 20,000 records?

     

    I don't see how you can..... unless you have some whizzy ideas?

     

    nice one!

      Well it's not about the Contains assertion. It is about the JsonPath RegEx Match assertion which is created just for that. If you can provide me a sample response I might be able to help you out.
