Sharing is caring - groovy script to count json elements found by a jsonPath query

Following Olga_T's suggestion here is a script to count the number of elements found by a jsonPath query:   import static com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath.parse // Define a method to count the numbe...

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!!
