Hi KarelHusa 

Do you recommend modifying all existing tests to reflect the new format for JSON path or do you expect this behavior might change in future releases of SopaUI?

 

Thanks,

Navneet

navneet_goyal ,

I cannot predict what happens in future versions of SoapUI, but still do not expect changes in basic JSONPath handling.

 

There were different opinions in the past how JSONPath should work (some opinions tended to XPath-like behavior) and so it's implementation evolved during the last years. SoapUI 5.7.0 has updated JSONPath Jayway library from 0.9.1 to 2.4.0.

 

You can check a detailed explanation with examples.

 

You can also see this thread related to JSONPath changes in SoapUI 5.7.0.

 

I would recommend to change the JSONPath strings to safer format. And where you are not sure test it (without exposing sensitive data) in https://jsonpath.com/ or similar tool.

 

Best regards,

Karel
