Data Source test step doesn't output arrays into properties
Hello!
I am using Ready Api GUI 3.57.0 and I am trying to setup a modular, data-driven general testcase. I am using GUI only to setup the test, and now I encountered a strange situation when using Data Source test step
I have a nested array and I am currently trying to use JSON DataSource to iterate over the root array and save the nested array into a property. And I am failing to do so. When I point to the Array I want to save into the property, if saves Null. When I point to the first member (i = 0) of the array, it shows the data properly.
Could anybody please help me check if I am the one who's doing something wrong, or it is ReadyApi being moody?
To make the situation more specific:
This is my JSON data source:
{
"name": "Get_PC",
"toTest": true,
"templatesDirectoryPath": "I:/Testing/AutotestSourceDataFiles/P1/Get_PC",
"a_webServiceDefinition":[
{
"name":"2018/05",
"toTest": true,
"webServiceUri": "/P1/2018/05",
"o_nameSpaceDefinitions": [
{"nsName": "soapenv", "nsUrl": "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"},
{"nsName": "ns", "nsUrl": "http://www.data.com/2013/08"},
{"nsName": "ns1", "nsUrl": "http://ws.com/2018/05"}
]
},
{
"name":"2023/09",
"toTest": true,
"webServiceUri": "/P1/2023/09",
"o_nameSpaceDefinitions": [
{"nsName": "soapenv", "nsUrl": "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"},
{"nsName": "ns", "nsUrl": "http://www.data.com/2023/04"},
{"nsName": "ns1", "nsUrl": "http://ws.com/2023/09"}
]
}
]
}
My DataSource test steps configuration is:
Data Source Type: JSON
Step and property points to the aforementioned JSON string
Row Path: $['a_webServiceDefinition']
Column Path: ['o_nameSpaceDefinitions']
According to JSON PATH documentation and validators, the JSON PATH: $['a_webServiceDefinition'][0]['o_nameSpaceDefinitions'] should return the array I want, but it is returning NULL.
Also, when I modify column Path to ['o_nameSpaceDefinitions'] [0], it correctly returns the first object in the array.
Is there a problem on my side?
