REST - JSON request
Here's a sample JSON request: Sample1 comes with an attribute Type and it's empty. Is it possible if the attribute is empty. Can this be removed like the output on sample2. I tried to use the remove...

Thanks for the input. When you say Sample1 do you mean an input file or a REST (POST message ) like something shown below. As I do need to pull out data from the Excel data sheet.
{
"Transfer": {
"Service": "${#Project#service}",
"Instruct": {
"Account": {
"Number": "${#Project#Number}",
"Type": "",
"Prod": "${#Project#Prod}"
}
}
}
}
Yes, so:
import groovy.json.*
String sample1 = '{"Transfer": {"Service": "${#Project#service}","Instruct": {"Account": {"Number": "${#Project#Number}","Type": "","Prod": "${#Project#Prod}"}}}}'
// Deserialize JSON into generic map def obj = new JsonSlurper().parseText(sample1) // Remove Type obj.getAt("Transfer").getAt("Instruct").getAt("Account").remove("Type") // Serialize back to Json String json = new JsonBuilder(obj).toString()
Now where you get sample1 from depends on your test, whether you're pulling it from an Excel sheet or directly from the response of a REST request.
Thanks for replying back. I have been trying to think how this would work for me. I am a newbie on rest. I couldn't figure out how to do the following steps.
1. I have uploaded JSON.jpg. I don't want to define the whole string on the script. I know you have said that you can pull that out from anywhere. how do I slurp out from the JSON (REST) message request( i have uploaded Json.jpg file).2. Now, you mentioned that serialize back to json. Once that is done. How do I send it to testRunner to use serialize object and send to testRunner. I normally do this statement: testRunner.runTestStepByName("JSON");
The JSON in the picture you attached, where does it come from? Do you get it from the response of another REST request step?
