    hi.

    I try but it don't work. same error "groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: Date de création for class: java.lang.String

    I try this just after : 

    if (Slurp[i].("Date de création")) {
      if (Slurp[i]."Date de création" < testdate) {checkdate = false }
      assert checkdate
       i++}
    }

    but i got the same error :( 

    i think i should use "contains" method rightly.

Hi,

You can use this, and this pattern is used quite often:

 if (Slurp[i]."Date de création" && Slurp[i]."Date de création" < testdate) {checkdate = false }

First it will check the conditiion on the left - if there's a value for the date, the left will be satisfied and then it goes on to check the date dagainst the test date.

 

But if there's no date returned, the condition on the left will fail, and so the whole thing will be false. In that case, the check on the right won't actually be calculated (which is good, because it means it won't throw an exception for trying to compare nothing to the testdate).

      i found solution this noon.

      i coudld not test key existence correctly. i try with Slurp[i].containsKey("Date de création"] and it dont works also :(

      So i convert my object into a string and use indexof method, and it is ok now. not perfect but it works.

       

      def Str = Slurp[i].toString()

      def DC = Str.indexOf("Date de création")

      if (DC == -1) { log.info "ATTENTION..."

      else { 

              if Slurp[i]."Date de création" < tesdate) {

      ...

      }}
