    Regariding the groovy list of values.

    You could insert that list into a single property and then split each value from the list into individual values using the split() metho maybe? This would include using a list but again make things tidier if just using properties. Just a thought. Going yo bed now

Yes sorry for such a bland explonation.For an example when i put the first request in this response comes in.I need to validate the response values with the assertion that this came in.I tried using this method: 

def slurper = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper()
def result = slurper.parseText('{"code": "1200","message": "UserName and Password required."}')

assert result.code == "1200"
assert result.message == "UserName and Password required."

 

But i do think that it is not dynamic so i want to change it.Thanks for the replies&help

Hey Loli,

Where did you get the code from?

Reason i ask is that youre declaring a 'result' variable that youre not actually using.

Also, would you mind attaching the screenshot rather than embedding it please? I cant actually see the content properly with embedded screenshots. I can only see attached screenshots instead.


Also, your code has multiple assertions. If youre including this code in a single script assertion or groovystep this means if one assertion fails the whole teststep will fail. Its adviseable to split out your assertions into individual teststeps UNLESS youre sure that if one assertion within a teststep passes then they all will pass.

    Yes i wrote the code myself,It was just a first thing that came to my mind and it needs to be changed.Although I have got no clue how really.This photo might clear some things up.

      Hey Loli,

      Can you please indicate what you should be verifying in the response please?

      Do you need to pass on the token value to other, subsequent calls in your test or are you just trying to assert against this particular response?

      This is for the "homework", right? In your previous homework message you also mentioned asserting the http status headers, right? Is there anything else you want to assert against?

        As far as i understood,I should be verifying response tokens.

         

         

        Here is the code I wrote and it works:

        def headers = messageExchange.getResponseHeaders()
        log.info headers["#status#"]
        assert ['HTTP/1.1 200 OK'] == headers["#status#"]
        def actualStatus = headers["#status#"].get(0)
        def excelExpectedValue = '200 OK'
        def expectedStatus = 'HTTP/1.1 '+excelExpectedValue
        assert expectedStatus == actualStatus

         

        def responseContent = messageExchange.response.responseContent
        def jsonSlurper = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(responseContent)
        def actual=jsonSlurper.status
        def actuelResult = jsonSlurper.result
        assert actual == "Success"
        assert actuelResult == "User authorized successfully."

         

        First one confirmes that the HTTP code is correct.and the second one confirmes that the message I got from the request mathes the response.Although I did 3 test cases for 3 different scenarios.My teacher asked me to loop it and make it shorter.No clue on how to do that though.Any help would be appreciated
