Comparing Json node values against each other

    Hi ChrisAdams,

     

    I used part of you logic and got the solution. 

    1. Converted both json responses to string and created objects of it (Using jsonSlurper()) with parsing

     

    //Stored response

    def response1 = context.expand( '${TestCaseName#Response}' )
    def response2 = context.expand( '${TestCaseName#Response}' )

    def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper();

     

    //Parsing the response received
    def resp1_obj = jsonSlurper.parseText( response1.toString());
    def resp2_obj = jsonSlurper.parseText( response2.toString());

     

    2. Accessed json file content with Key

    resp1_obj.key_value[i]

    resp2_obj.key_value[i]

     

    3. Parameterized the key indexing ('i' value parameterized)

    4. Compared the node values one after teh other using for loop.

    for(int i=0;i<5;i++)

    {

          if(resp1_obj.key_value[i] == resp2_obj.key_value[i])

               log.info("PASS")

          else

               log.error("FAILED")

               break

    }

    Thanks once again for the solution and response. 

     

    Thanks & Regards,

    Vivek Kulkarni

Hi,

 

I'd suggest a Groovy step.  In a Groovy step you can write a script to read responses from both calls and compare.

 

Look up context.expand to obtain the responses.

 

Look up JSON Slurper to convert responses to JSON.

 

Once you have both responses in JSON, you can iterate over one and compare properties with the corresposning property in response 2.

    Hi Chris,

     

    Thanks for teh quick response. I tried the groovy, but it compares specific node data. I want to compare teh data of all the nodes present. Iteration is teh challenge. Can you please post related to that. How can I traverse and validate values.

     

    If you require can post json files of the response data.

     

    Thanks,
