An Assertion To Verify Repeating Attribute Contains All Upper Case Chars?

Hey!   nmrao  and New2API have repeatedly helped me with some scripts to check repeating attributes in my .json response has certain attributes.   I now have tests that require me to verify a...

    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()
    }

richie, here is what you can do to overcome this Uppercase' issue. it is bit ugly but may work.

 

import net.sf.*
import net.sf.json.*
import net.sf.json.groovy.*
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper


def response = new File(context.expand( '${#TestSuite#ResponsePath}') + 'Untitled1.json').text
    def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
    def json = slurper.parseText response


def actual = []

json.data.DataSourceId_Name.each{
	                            actual = actual+it //Get all DataSourceId_Name
	
}


//Get unique value from the 'actual' array and loop through
actual.unique().each{
	                 log.info it
	                 it.toUpperCase() == it //Convert each array element to uppercase and compare it to itself
}

Hey lads! 

 

New2API  - thank you - I appreciate your efforts on my behalf - but I don't think I explained it clearly enough.

 

The attached file was an example - but I won't be using it for comparison - that is one of the responses I need to verify the fields display only upper case., so I'm grateful for your help fella - but that's not what I need.

 

Lucian - another reason I'm using scripts for a lot of my assertions it that I've a mix of OTB functionality REST requests and requests build by a script nmrao put together cos I can't use the OTB functionality to build and submit some of my requests - it doesn't do what I need - hence the reason for the scripting - @Rao's script builds the URI and query string from parameters set in a Properties step.

 

I do have REST requests that use the OTB functionality - so using the OTB assertion functionality for those requests is fine, but for the requests built and submitted by @Rao's script I can't use the OTB assertions for those.

 

I have attached an example file

 

There is a field - JSONPATH = x.data[x].DataSourceId_Name OR $[data][x][DataSourceId_Name] that should ONLY ever have upper case chars.

 

I am hoping to create an assertion that does this verification - however the response can have many, many records in there - so I can't just add in loads of values to an array as a possible way to assert these values against.

 

I hope I've been clear in my request!

 

nice one,
