JSONPath Existence Match always returns true

    It looks like a bug. I also tested this on the PRO version and it is not reproducible there. 

     

    You could also use a JSONPath RegEx Match Configuration. The JSONPath Expression can stay the same. You will only have to add a regular expression like:

     

    \[.+\]

     

    Then you can set the expected results to 'true'.

     

     

    You will notice then that if the id doesn't exist the assertion will fail.

     

    Cheers!

Just to add a clarification:

 

Even If I change the expression in assertion from

 

$.ApplicationResult.HotelList[?(@.HotelId==${#TestSuite#hotelId})]

 

$.ApplicationResult.HotelList[?(@.HotelId==${#TestSuite#xyz})] it still evaluates to true, although there is even no TestSuite variable "xyz".
