nmrao - Thanks, I saw your solution also now. It works, but I have some questions.
1 - Why do you use closures here instead of regular functions?
2 - How do we reuse the code in other suites also instead of repeating the code?
PS - I modified your solution as follows.
/*
Sample response:
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
{"healthy": true}
*/
//The test step which calls the API.
def stepName = 'CallApi'
assert getHeader(stepName, 'Content-Type') == 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
assert getJson(stepName).healthy == true
//Utility functions:
def getStepResponse(stepName){
context.testCase.testSteps[stepName].httpRequest.response
}
def getJson(stepName){
new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(getStepResponse(stepName).responseContent)
}
def getHeader(stepName, header){
getStepResponse(stepName).responseHeaders[header].first()
}
nmrao - Thanks. I was not asking about closures vs functions in general. I was asking why you used closures in your code. If there are reasons for it, then I can do the same in my code.
PS -
