ReadyAPI Smart Assertion

Is it possible to "export" a Smart Assertion to a .txt file?

      The use case is that the Smart Assertion is "graphic" and an exported version is "text".

        I can have "50" entries in the Smart Assertion but only have one enabled.

        I would like to export out the assertion to a text format and then replace the Smart Assertion with it.

        Can I look at the structure of the Smart Assertion and manually build the 'text' version?

        Absolutely.

          But it's error prone and I would much rather push a button to do the work for me.

    Not as far as I know in the ReadyAPI software 😞. Ideally you'd want to import (dynamically) too! Its a massive flaw of Smart Assert imho. We've created our own Groovy script that uses a JSON file that acts as a map, to assert the properties of the test data and the returned data.

     

    For a more manual method, in a composite project you could look at the source files 🤤 e.g.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
