    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:

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! :)
