Assert a json value is NOT present in the json response's array?

Hello richie,

The json response looks to be a nice list to begin with which allows some collection comparisons.

This groovy code snippet has a couple different assertions based on your exact example. :)

Regards.

import groovy.json.*;

def jsonBeforetxt = '''
{
 "Permissions" : [
 "ACME:CommodityCode.Read",
 "ACME:Notification.Create",
 "ACME:Org.Species.Read",
 "ACME:CommodityCode.Read",
 "ACME:Notification.Create",
 "ACME:OrgInfo.Read",
 "ACME:Species.Read",
 "ACME:OrgInfo.Read",
 "ACME:Species.Read"
 ]
}
''';

def jsonAftertxt = '''
{
 "Permissions" : [
 "ACME:CommodityCode.Read",
 "ACME:Notification.Create",
 "ACME:Org.Species.Read",
 "ACME:CommodityCode.Read",
 "ACME:Notification.Create",
 "ACME:OrgInfo.Read",
 "ACME:Species.Read"
 ]
}
''';

def jsonBeforeobj = new JsonSlurper().parseText(jsonBeforetxt);
jsonBeforeobj.Permissions.each { item ->
   log.info 'item=' + item.toString();
};
log.info 'jsonBeforeobj.Permissions.size()= ' + jsonBeforeobj.Permissions.size();
log.info ' ';

def jsonAfterobj = new JsonSlurper().parseText(jsonAftertxt);
jsonAfterobj.Permissions.each { item ->
   log.info 'item=' + item.toString();
};
log.info 'jsonAfterobj.Permissions.size()= ' + jsonAfterobj.Permissions.size();
log.info ' ';

permissionsIntersectList = jsonBeforeobj.Permissions.intersect(jsonAfterobj.Permissions);
permissionsIntersectList.each { intr ->
   log.info 'intersect=' + intr;
};

assert jsonBeforeobj.Permissions.size() != jsonAfterobj.Permissions.size(), "Before and After should be different";
assert jsonAfterobj.Permissions.size() == permissionsIntersectList.size(), "The After result should be equal to the Intersection of the Before and After";

assert jsonBeforeobj.Permissions.count { it.startsWith('ACME:OrgInfo.Read') } == 2, "Original should have 2 entries";
assert jsonAfterobj.Permissions.count { it.startsWith('ACME:OrgInfo.Read') } == 1, "Subsequent should have 1 entry";
assert jsonBeforeobj.Permissions.count { it.startsWith('ACME:Species.Read') } == 2, "Original should have 2 entries";
assert jsonAfterobj.Permissions.count { it.startsWith('ACME:Species.Read') } == 1, "Subsequent should have 1 entry";

log.info 'Test Step "' + testRunner.runContext.currentStep.name + '" done...';
