[Resolved] assertion against multiple expected values

I am using soapUI Pro 4.6.4

I have a need were I need to make sure say a "State" field in xml or Json response should have the value of CA or AZ or OR or MA. This is for a REST service.

How do i do it ?

Someone asked similar question, but I believe the reply does not solve the need.

thanks

    As an XPath assertion 
    exists(//*:State[text()='CA'] | //*:State[text()='AZ'] | //*:State[text()='OR'] | //*:State[text()='MA'])

    As a Script assertion

    def state = context.expand('${' + context.currentStep.name + '#ResponseAsXml#//*:State}')
    assert ['CA', 'AZ', 'OR', 'MA'].contains(state)

      Hello, newbie to soapui here...

      The answers provided seem to be for response content that is XML only not JSON, is this correct?

      How would assert for contains multiple values on a json response that is something like this:

       

      {
      "result": true,
      "content": [
      "abc",
      "def",
      "ijk",
      [... <more content>...]
      ]
      }

       

      Thanks

    thanks a lot SiKing

    How would the "Expected Result" in Xpath assertion look like for the following "Xpath Expression"

    //ns1:Response[1]/ns1:address[1]/ns1:state[1]

    this script assertion seem to be working.

    utils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
    holder = utils.getXmlHolder("myRestStep#ResponseAsXml" )
    StateField = holder.getNodeValue( "//*[local-name()='state']" )
    assert StateKey != null
    assert ['CA', 'AZ', 'IL', 'MA'].contains(StateField)

    thanks again Siking

    Is this a new question, or is this still related to the discussion here? I don't know, probably some kind of string?

    That was the question before I put together what I needed with the help of your first response. I am good now . Thanks again.
