GroovyScript Help - Repeating JSON Attributes Have Specific Value.....some of the time?

Hey! Ok - so I've got GET request with multiple different query parms -one of these query parms is 'handling_codes'. The GET returns a JSON response payload that contains multiple 'CONSIGNMENT' r...

    Here is the complete script which uses the attached file and asserts the codes 

    Please follow the inline comments:

     

    //Script Assertion
def json = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(context.response)
def expectedCode = 'SPX'
//find all non empty handling_codes
def hc_list = json.data.'handling_codes'.findAll() 
//List the non empty handling_codes item count
log.info hc_list.size
//Iterate thru each handling_codes, then check the code list contains at least expectedCode
hc_list.each { hc ->
	log.info hc.code
	assert hc.code.any {it == expectedCode} , "$hc does not contain $expectedCode"
}

    EDIT:

    Use the above script as Script Assertion where you get the response (not separate groovy script test step)

    There are some empty handling_codes are there in the data and assuming that you want to ignore them, hence .findAll() used as shown below (line #5 of the script)

    def hc_list = json.data.'handling_codes'.findAll()

    if you also need to consider them, then change it to

    def hc_list = json.data.'handling_codes'

every - method checks all the items meet the given condtion.

Now, you need any method which checks any one item in the list meet the given condition.

To illustrate a simple example, the items should at least have a juice

list = ['fruit', 'milk', 'juice']
assert list.any { it == 'juice' }, 'list doe not contain juice'

Of course, there is another way in this particular case to check if the list contains item.

assert list.contains('milk'), 'list does not contain milk'

See the beauty of the groovy language, as if we are talking in English, same verbs.
