    The data isource might be having value as "[HTTP/1.1 200 OK]" which includes the square brackets. is it?

    Then remove them ("[", "]") in the data source.

    Also, use below statement to assert

    assert trim(expectedHTTPResponse) == messageExchange.response.responseHeaders['#status#'][0]

    Or

    //define in source value as 200; say as below this makes life more easier
def expectedHTTPStatusCode = '200'
assert expectedHTTPStatusCode == messageExchange.response.responseHeaders['#status#'][0].split(' ')[1]

Are you sure that the two values you are comparing in the assert are exactly the same? For example does one of the values have a trailing space?

 

I'd log the two values as follows, just before the assert statement to check:

 

log.info('expectedHTTPResponse = "' + expectedHTTPResponse + '"')
log.info('ActualHTTPResponse = "' + ActualHTTPResponse + '"')
