    Okay, as long as your REST test request contains a response, I've made some adjustments based on the new sample response you provided.

     

    As indicated in the comment of the script, please ensure "Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1" completely matches the name of the test step whose response we want, and that it's in the same test case as this groovy script. Otherwise, use the Get-Data right-click option to redefine response to the appropriate test step.

     

    Here's an updated groovy script:

     

     

    package json
import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
import groovy.json.*

// get the response of the JSON test step / request. 
// "Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1" should be the name of your test step, 
// and it should be in the same test case as the groovy script.

def response = context.expand( '${Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1#Response}' );
log.info response;


// set up a json slurper to parse the response string
def autocompletenodesreturned = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response).results
log.info autocompletenodesreturned;

// set N to the number of elements in the parsed response
def n = autocompletenodesreturned.size()
log.info(n);
for (int i=0; i < n; i++)
{
	log.info(autocompletenodesreturned[i]);
	assert(autocompletenodesreturned[i].documentNumber.contains("123"));
}

Here's a script that takes your response and will output the document number and then assert that it contains "123". It'll need to be adjusted accordingly to the name of your REST test request step name.

 

package json
import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
import groovy.json.*

// get the response of the JSON test step / request. 
def response = context.expand( '${REST Request#Response}' ).toString();

// set up a json slurper to parse the response string
def r = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)

// set N to the number of elements in the parsed response
def n = r.size()
for (int i=0; i < n; i++)
{
	log.info(r[i].documentNumber);
	assert(r[i].documentNumber.contains("123"));
}

 

Let me know how that works.

Hi

 

I will try the script this evening and get back to you with an update.

 

Your time and effort in helping me is much appreciated.

    Here is my solution as provided by you:-

     

    package json
    import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
    import groovy.json.*

    // get the response of the JSON test step / request.
    def response = context.expand( '${#[AutoComplete#API: Retrieve a list of document numbers for autocomplete_valid (24554)#Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1]#Response}' ).toString();


    // set up a json slurper to parse the response string
    def r = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)

    // set N to the number of elements in the parsed response
    def n = r.size()
    for (int i=0; i < n; i++)
    {
    log.info(r[i].documentNumber);
    assert(r[i].documentNumber.contains("123"));
    }

     

     

    I am receiving the following error:-

    • java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer

     

    Can you help?

     

    Thanks

      Can you indicate which line is throwing that error? Also, try to use the "Insert Code" feature and format the code into a readable format if possible, it makes it easier to read.

        def response = context.expand( '${Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1#Response}' ).toString();
log.info response
