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...

    I ended up just creating a groovy script using its GStringTemplateEngine to replace ${var} with respective dataset.

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.

        Thanks for your response. I really appreciate your help Anton. Your piece of code works as expected. 

        I need a small change in this,

        Is there any way that we can fail this assertion when it matches with expected HTTP Response (InvalidURI)?

        I mean, since its matching with expected HTTPResponse, assertion is valid and its displaying as 'Green'. I would like to see 'Red' color whenever InvalidURI encounters in response. For the rest of all the other responses it should show as 'Green'
