Asserting on contents of a .json response in output log & passing attribute values to propertiesstep

Hi,   nmrao put a script together for me to build a GET REST request's URI and query string using groovy (I cant use the OTB functionality due to other project requirements) and the GET request's...

    Hi richie,

     

    I've modified your code in the following way:

    import groovy.json.*

def response = context.expand( '${REST Request#Response}' )
def object = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)

assert object.header.success == true
assert object.data[0].Links.method == "GET"
assert object.data[0].VersionNumber == 1

     

    It works fine for me:

It is trivial error.

You are expecting string "true" instead of boolean value. just remove the double quotes around true.

You can make out the data type of the json property value. If the value is enclosed between double quotes, then it is String type. Otherwise, it could be boolean, int, double, long etc.,

In your case


"success" : true

So:

def parsedResponse = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response.text)
assert true == parsedResponse.header.success

    Hey nmrao, NBorovykh 

     

    nmrao yep - I already appreciated the datatypes and that boolean isn't a string so doesn't require the quote marks - I was just didn't notice cos I was overwhelmed with the rest of the groovy - trying to pick this stuff up and teaching myself coding from scratch on my weekends is slow going!

     

    the problem in the end wasn't the type - it was the fact that my jsonslurper line 

    def parsedResponse = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)

    was wrong - I needed to add in the .text

    def parsedResponse = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response.text)

    All of a sudden - the star goes blue and I'm smiling! :)

     

    NBorovykh nmrao  thanks so much for all your help - you two rock! :)

        richie, Looks you marked your reply as solution instead of actual author's reply.
