Hi Lucian,
I am trying to find a groovy solution to find a certain count. I have a rest request "myrestrequest", where part of the response is:
...
"hasData" : [
"https://test.api/1",
"https://test.api/2",
"https://test.api/3"
]
...
The json path count match assertion in myrestrequest perfectly asserts : $['hasData'] = 3.
But now I want to use that result of that count somewhere else in a groovy script. I struggle to find a way to do this.
When I go get the data via context.expand ('${myrequest#Response#$[\'hasData\']}, I get the hasData array as a String. In other cases I can use the jsonSlurper or jsonUtl.parseTrimmerText commands to make convert it to an array again and use .size(), but with this specific example that doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
You can use the script I wrote and then pass the resulted value into a property like:
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "ElementsCount", countElement.toString() )
That property can later be used in a groovy or directly in a request.
${#TestCase#ElementsCount}Hi Lucian,
Yes, I thought of that solution also, but I found the answer: It just looks like I did not grasp fully the script you provided.
I just had to use the full response from "myrestrequest" and then define the jsonObject like :
import static com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath.parse
def response = context.expand( '${myrestrequest#Response}' )
def countElement( String json, String jsonPath ) {
return parse( json ).read( jsonPath ).size()
}
def jsonObject = response
log.info countElement( jsonObject, '$.hasData.*' )
Thanks for this!!
