Comparing an array from Json Response to an array from JDBC response.
Hello,
I have a situation where I'd like to compare a resultset of 100 rows from both a REST call and a database query using XPath Match on the JDBC response.
My issue is however that while they seemingly do hold the same values, the assertion fails anyway with the following error. I have compared every value in these two arrays and they are the same. However one seems to contain an extra space? I have checked both the Database and Rest response and neither contain this extra space.
- The XPathContains assertion failed for the following path: [//Results[1]/ResultSet[1]/Row[*]/LITEMID[1]/text()]. Expected value: [[1427, 1392, 1393, 1394, 1415, 2138, 2139, 2140, 2141, 2142, 2143, 2144, 2145, 2146, 2147, 2148, 2149, 2150, 2151, 2152, 2153, 2154, 2155, 2156, 2157, 2158, 2159, 2161, 2162, 2163, 2164, 2165, 2166, 2167, 2168, 2169, 2170, 2171, 2172, 2173, 2175, 2176, 2177, 2178, 2179, 2180, 2181, 2182, 2183, 2184, 2185, 2186, 2187, 2188, 2189, 2191, 2192, 2193, 2194, 2195, 2196, 2198, 2199, 2200, 2201, 2202, 2203, 2204, 2206, 2207, 2208, 2209, 2210, 2211, 2212, 2213, 2214, 2215, 2216, 2217, 2218, 2219, 2221, 2223, 2224, 2225, 2226, 2227, 2228, 2229, 2230, 2231, 2232, 2233, 2234, 2235, 2237, 2238, 2239, 2240]]; Actual value: [[1427,1392,1393,1394,1415,2138,2139,2140,2141,2142,2143,2144,2145,2146,2147,2148,2149,2150,2151,2152,2153,2154,2155,2156,2157,2158,2159,2161,2162,2163,2164,2165,2166,2167,2168,2169,2170,2171,2172,2173,2175,2176,2177,2178,2179,2180,2181,2182,2183,2184,2185,2186,2187,2188,2189,2191,2192,2193,2194,2195,2196,2198,2199,2200,2201,2202,2203,2204,2206,2207,2208,2209,2210,2211,2212,2213,2214,2215,2216,2217,2218,2219,2221,2223,2224,2225,2226,2227,2228,2229,2230,2231,2232,2233,2234,2235,2237,2238,2239,2240]].

Has anyone come across a similar issue? Or maybe has a different approach for comparing a list of data with database values?
I ended up doing groovyscript assertions, but I'd still like to know why my previous attempt didn't work.
Here's my solution for reference if someone else wants to do the same.def SubscriptionGroupID = context.expand( '${Get SubscriptionGroups#Response#$[\'SubscriptionGroups\'][*][\'SubscriptionGroupID\']}' ) def Sort = context.expand( '${DataSource#Database sort}' )
def sql = Sql.newInstance("redacted","redacted","redacted","com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver") DatabaseValues = sql.rows("select TOP 100 lItemID,szUser,szName,szResponsible,szFirstname,szCustomerNr,szVATNumber From Address where lItemID IN (select ContactId from PartnerContact Order by ContactId OFFSET 2 rows) ORDER BY " + Sort) assert DatabaseValues.lItemID.toString() == SubscriptionGroupID.toString() : "Not all SubscriptionGroupIDs match with database value"
