I need to be able to put a Range into my Assertions

In order to be able to change Environments easily, I need to be able to put a Range into my Assertions for a TotalResults field.  I have found references on the board to the ability to do this but I ...

    That got me close enough.  Here is what I did.  Two assertions:

     

    Lower End of the Range:

    XPath Expression:

    declare namespace ns1='http://ws.ussco.com/eCatalog/catalog/1';
    ${DataSource RedPen SmallBS#totalResultsLowerRange} <= //ns1:getSearchResponse[1]/ns1:searchResponse[1]/ns1:ItemPage[1]/ns1:TotalResults[1]

     

    Expected Result:

    true

     

    Upper End of the Range:

    declare namespace ns1='http://ws.ussco.com/eCatalog/catalog/1';
    ${DataSource RedPen SmallBS#totalResultsUpperRange} >= //ns1:getSearchResponse[1]/ns1:searchResponse[1]/ns1:ItemPage[1]/ns1:TotalResults[1]

     

    Expected Result:

    true

     

    And then all the Requests in my data set don't have to match exactly.

     

    Thanks for giving me both methods!

Thanks for the quick reply.  I have tried the script and it does work with my Requests.

 

A follow up question.  In my automation project, I am using a Data Driven Approach whenever possible.  A Script Assertion doesn't seem to be able to call back to the Data Source for the script (use the string ${DataSource RedPen SmallBS#totalResults} to go to a Grid to pick up the Groovy Script you created, although it works if I put that script directly into the Groovy Script Assertion.)

 

So does this mean I can either use a Range Groovy Script Assertion for Request that will come back within a similar Range or use a Data Source for Exact TotalResults to store for Assertions, but I would not be able to use a Data Source to store a Groovy Script for a Range of TotalResults?  (Let me know if that question doesn't make sense.)
