Hey eissaeva
'${Request 1#Response}' simply means you've parameterised a certain value rather than hardcoding the thing.
The '${ }' just means 'parameter'
The 'Request 1#' bit means simply the Name you've defined for the Request - e.g. "Submit POST"
The 'Response' bit just means the response of the specified request.
So using the above info, the parm would be written as '${Submit POST#Response}
In the instructions page you've identified, I think you're talking about the following code snippet. This is about comparing XML responses - right?
So the code is as follows:
def request = context.expand( '${Request 1#Response}' )
def response = context.expand( '${Request 2#Response}' )
so here you're grabbing the response of Request 1 and passing it into the variable defined as 'request'
and you're grabbing the response of Request 2 and passing it into the variable defined as 'response'
Does that help at all?
Cheers,
Rich
Yes, makes sense.
Is it possible to use this code to compare actual and expected response of the same request? How to achieve this?
Also, my response is in JSON format
Is it possible to convert it to XML?
Thank you for this input, Rich
From the previous answer you provided "The 'Response' bit just means the response of the specified request."
'Response' - is just a string, not a variable holding the response, correct?
Hi Rao,
Yes, I would like to know how to compare JSON responses (actual vs expected) but I was only able to find below (comparing xml documents)
https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/testing/scripts/samples/compare-xml.html
Any help on how to compare json responses in a similar manner would appreciate
My requirement is not just to print out the actual / expected but to print out their differences in groovy
Thanks,
