      "ExternalReference": "Testing6",
      "OtherStuff": "Goop6",
      "ErrorLog": []
      }
      ''';

      def jsonContent = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(someJSON);
      log.info 'jsonContent=' + jsonContent;
      log.info 'jsonContent=' + jsonContent.size();

      assert jsonContent.size() <= 2, "we expected at least 2 elements but got " + jsonContent.size();
