groovy - list parsing fails if it contains one element

Hello, I often use jsonslurper to parse lists returned by test steps, but I have a case where it fails. I have a testStep that is a call to an API, it returns a list of elements such as ["fim:devic...

Are you referring to
["fim:device:LIGHT:1810","fim:device:LIGHT:1811"] => this is not json or json array.
Can you please provide the sample response ?

    The original response is a json array from which I extract a parameter "result" that contains an array of strings.

    Indeed "result" is not a json array ... I should then use another way to extract data, such as tokenize, I guess ?

    **bleep**. jSonSlurper makes it, usually ...

      Yes, if you know the extracted data format and which value that is needed.

        Hello,

        I have further questions about this. If my list of element contains json objects that also contain commas, if I do tokenize, I will end up stplitting all of it. Is there a way to tokenize a string but only on particular separators, ie.

        I have a string "[{object1},{object2},...,{objectn}]"

        if objects contain ',' which is usually the case for json objects, how can I do to obtain this string in the form of a collection so that when I do myList.each{println it} I have

        {object1}

        {object2}

        ...

        {objectn}

        as a result ?
