Assertion for raw response

I have been trying to create an assertion for raw response. I got a requirement in which whenever i see a response with Invalid URI in headers, it should fail. This is how it is displayed in response "HTTP/1.1 500 Invalid URI - /xyz/abc/123". 

 

In the above header whenever i see "Invalid URI" assertion should fail.

 

When i checked forums i found a script assertion, with which i have modified it like this. However its failing since the URI part is not mentioned in expectedHTTPResponse. I would like to make it generic, such a way that whatever may be the URI, whenever i encounter Invalid URI it should fail the assertion.

 

Below is the piece of code:

 

def expectedHTTPResponse = ['HTTP/1.1 500 Invalid URI']
def headers = messageExchange.response.responseHeaders
def actualHTTPResponse = headers['#status#']
assert expectedHTTPResponse == actualHTTPResponse, "Invalid URI" 

 

Can anyone help me with this? Any other possible solutions to achieve this?

    Please post raw response. Do you want to check if the status code is 500, then fail?

      This is the raw response i'm getting:

       

      HTTP/1.1 500 Invalid URI - /xyz/abc/123"

      Content-Type: text/xml

      X-Backside-Transport: FAIL FAIL

      Connection: close

       

      I want to check whether the raw response has "Invalid URI". If it has Invalid URI in response assertion should fail.

       

      Thank you.

        You can use startsWith method to check that a string has a required beginning:

         

        def expectedHTTPResponse = 'HTTP/1.1 500 Invalid URI'
        def headers = messageExchange.response.responseHeaders
        def actualHTTPResponse = headers['#status#']
        assert actualHTTPResponse.size() == 1 && actualHTTPResponse[0].startsWith(expectedHTTPResponse), "Invalid URI" 

         

        Note that I removed square brackets in expectedHTTPResponse as we compare just one element now.
