Groovy : XML Comparison: Dynamic XML Attributes are not ignored whie comparison.
Hi
I have one Groovy utility to compare current response with external response kept in xml file.
But while comparison, I am facing issue if parameter contains space. e.g.
1. If parameter is present as , subscription id .Then it is not ignored
2. If parameter is present as, subscription-id. Then it is ignored while comparison. Working file.
My case:
Actually in my case, subscription id will be dynamic. So while comparison , I added it in ignore list. So that next time this will be ignored while comparison.
Attached my groovy Utility and sample external response file.

The data provided is not well-formed. Fixed a bit to make it well-formed.
Here is the script:
//assign xml string data for the below two statements, not assigned here to reduce the size of the script def expected = def actual = //Don't have to modify beyond this point //If required, add more ignore nodes or attributes(node: attribute format) in the below appropriately def ignoreNodes = ['purchase-date', 'expiry-date'] def ignoreAttributes = ['subscription':'id'] //Closure to update the xml with a fixed value REPLACED in place of dynamic value, so that comparison is done successfully def updateIgnoreElements = { data, fixedVal = 'REPLACED' -> def parsedData = new XmlSlurper().parseText(data) ignoreAttributes.each { k,v -> parsedData.'**'.findAll { it.name() == k}.collect{it.@"$v" = fixedVal} } ignoreNodes.each { element -> parsedData.'**'.findAll { it.name() == element}.collect{it.replaceBody fixedVal} } groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize(parsedData) } assert updateIgnoreElements(expected) == updateIgnoreElements(actual), 'Both are not matching'You can quickly try online demo and the same is available at github
