    Script assertion with jsonslurper or jsonpath.

    See http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/

     

    import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
def holder = new XmlHolder(context.Response)
def Metadata = holder["//*:MetaData"]
//log.info Metadata

import static com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath.parse
log.info parse(Metadata).read('$.[?(@.Type==ItemList)].OptionValues.Item 1[0]')

    That sounds like a job for JsonSlurper

    http://docs.groovy-lang.org/latest/html/documentation/#_processing_json

     

    If the name Item 1 and value are not constant how would you identify the expected result for assertions? Is it the first name in OptionValues? This code could help

     

    import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
def holder = new XmlHolder(context.Response)
def Metadata = holder["//*:MetaData"]
//log.info Metadata

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText(Metadata)
def map = json.OptionValues[2]
log.info map.entrySet()
log.info map.entrySet()[0]
log.info map.keySet()[0]

use JSONSlurper to parse values. You can try something like this

 

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

payload = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("REST Service").getPropertyValue("response")
slurperResponse = new JsonSlurper().parseText(payload)
node = (slurperResponse.first()) //first is a method that will get the first node

    Thanks bagochips for the reply.

    I was looking to pick up a nested node that is within a node.I was able to get it from PaulMS query.

     

    Thanks for your time. Appreciate it :)

     

    Best,
