Not Contains Assertion (JSON attribute value) - not XML

Hey,   I've been investigating the Not Contains assertion to verify that a json attribute does NOT contain a specific value.   HOWEVER - all the posts I've seen on this on this forum/stackove...

    richie ,

     

    Here is the script assertion for the same.

     

    If I understand right, the value of "entityLogicalName" should not be "appointment". And below script checks that.

     

    /**
* Below is the script assertion for the REST Request Test step
**/
def json = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(context.response)
def logicalNames = json.sessiondata.'appointment.nhs_slottype'.entityLogicalName
def checkFor = 'appointment'
//Negative check - value should not have appointment "!=", 
//Positive check -  use "==" to match value with appointment
assert logicalNames.every {it != checkFor}, "Not expecting value ${checkFor} for entityLogicalName, but found"

Hey richie,

 

The Not Contains assertion is not concerned with json nor xml. With this type of assertion you can search for a string and you can use regex in the process. Thus this should work the same on json as on xml.
