Help with JSON Negative Assertion

I'm sorry Rao,

 

I don't quite understand what you mean by 

Assign your json to below variable

What string do I place there?   And how to I dictate that I only get 2's and 3's? I'm not very literate in groovy scripting.  I see that you have two comments regarding meids:

 

def meids = items.meid
def submitCounts = items.submitCount
log.info meids

 Just trying to understand why the meids would be relevant for what I'm trying to accomplish.  Can the sample I attached, where I modified your prior script, not be fixed to work in this case?  I wanted to get comfortable with modifying that if possible so I can reuse it for different response parameters in other web service calls :)

def jsonString = '''{
  "getResubmittedReturnsResult":{
    "getResubmittedReturnsIdentificationOut":[
      {
        "meid":671,
        "transID":92556,
        "status":"Resubmitted",
        "submitCount":"2",
        "addedTime":"09/23/2016 14:28:49"
      },
      {
        "meid":671,
        "transID":92558,
        "status":"Resubmitted",
        "submitCount":"3",
        "addedTime":"09/23/2016 14:28:52"
      }
    ]
  }
}'''

def parsedJson = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(jsonString)
def items =  parsedJson.getResubmittedReturnsResult.getResubmittedReturnsIdentificationOut

def shouldNotBePresent = [1, 4]
//Currently the value received in submitCount is String type, so coverting to Integer
def submitCounts = items.submitCount.collect { it as Integer}
log.info submitCounts
assert [] == shouldNotBePresent.intersect(submitCounts), "There are unwanted submitCount value present in the response"

 

 

CByler,

sorry for multiple cycles. Hope this helps.

    hmmm

     

    The assertion passes even though I received multiple "submitCount":"1" in my response :(

      CByler, updated the script in the above reply, did you check it again?

        I tried the new script you provided, this morning.  The assertion still passes even when 1's or 4's are present in the response.  Any other thoughts?  If there is a better way of doing this, like via a manual assertion step, I' m happy to do so.  I actually tried to do that first.  However, the response contains so many items, it will not display in the Outline tab, only the JSON tab.  When I try to do a manual assertion, Ready API just locks up on me after selecting the Source: from the drop menu.
