Repeat a test step until desired property value is in the response

Hi,   I'm tryin to build a new test step for my API testing, but I don't get the desired result. Below you can see the JSON data from my REST response. So the goal here is to make sure that e.g. a...

Hi 4nes-team ,

 

one loop can resolve your question. But I did not see a complete JSON response, assume that you get a response with a list. Run your test case

 

/**
* TEST CASE
*   REST STEP
*   GROOVY STEP
*/

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def teststep = testRunner.testCase.testSteps['REST STEP']
// get REST response
def response = teststep.testRequest.response.contentAsString  // context.expand( '${REST STEP#Response}' )
def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)

// assume you get a list named "MyNode"
if (json.MyNode.any {it.reasonCode == 'EM_004}) {
	testRunner.gotoStepByName("Next Step")
} else {
	Thread.sleep(1000)  // set your delay time
	testRunner.gotoStepByName("REST STEP")
}


Thanks,
/Aaron

Hi Aaron,

 

thank you for your quick reply.

 

I tried to implement your code into my testcase but apparently I'm doing something wrong. Could you take a look? You can see the error in the screenshot I attached.

 

Thanks again.
