SOAPUI 5.4.0 JSON Assertion of Double Values Ending .00

I have a script assertion which asserts double values for a JSON response.  These asserts have been working until the latest release of SOAPUI (5.4.0).  It would appear that JsonSlurper is truncating...

    I am running SoapUI 5.3.0 and I confirm that your script does not give an assertion error for me.

      

    assert GroovySystem.version == "2.1.7"
    def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
def json = slurper.parseText '{"accountBalance":{"value":125755.00,"currency":"CAD","amountType":"DEBIT"}}'
assert json.accountBalance.value.toString() == "125755.00"

    It looks like JsonSlurper had significant work done to it in Groovy version 2.3 (http://groovy-lang.org/releasenotes/groovy-2.3.html). Then the below using the groovy console at https://groovyconsole.appspot.com/ 

     

    assert GroovySystem.version == "2.4.4"
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
def json = slurper.parseText '{"accountBalance":{"value":125755.00,"currency":"CAD","amountType":"DEBIT"}}'
assert json.accountBalance.value.toString() == "125755.00"
    Assertion failed: 

assert json.accountBalance.value.toString() == "125755.00"
       |    |              |     |          |
       |    |              |     125755     false
       |    |              125755
       |    [amountType:DEBIT, currency:CAD, value:125755]
       [accountBalance:[amountType:DEBIT, currency:CAD, value:125755]]

	at Script1.run(Script1.groovy:5)

    I would suggest that the newer behaviour is probably still correct. The JSON data defines a number, not a string. In theory, all we should care about is

     

    assert json.accountBalance.value == 125755

    If the application you are testing really does care about the decimal places, that would be non standard. Otherwise the data should be a string.  But since it isn't, you might need to do some non standard parsing.

     

    def json = '{"accountBalance":{"value":125755.00,"currency":"CAD","amountType":"DEBIT"}}'
assert json =~ /"value"\s*:\s*125755.00/

When I used your assertion script and {"accountBalance":123.00}, I got an error that I couldn't call getValue() on a BigDecimal. Do you really need .value.toString()?

 

Here I don't use it:

 

def slurper = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper()
def json

json = slurper.parseText '{"accountBalance":123}'
assert json.accountBalance == 123
assert json.accountBalance == 123.00
assert json.accountBalance != "123"
assert json.accountBalance != "123.00"

json = slurper.parseText '{"accountBalance":123.00}'
assert json.accountBalance == 123
assert json.accountBalance == 123.00
assert json.accountBalance != "123"
assert json.accountBalance != "123.00"

json = slurper.parseText '{"accountBalance":123.0}'
assert json.accountBalance == 123
assert json.accountBalance == 123.00
assert json.accountBalance != "123"
assert json.accountBalance != "123.00"

json = slurper.parseText '{"accountBalance":"123"}'
assert json.accountBalance != 123
assert json.accountBalance != 123.00
assert json.accountBalance == "123"
assert json.accountBalance != "123.00"

json = slurper.parseText '{"accountBalance":"123"}'
assert json.accountBalance != 123
assert json.accountBalance != 123.00
assert json.accountBalance == "123"
assert json.accountBalance != "123.00"

 

If this doesn't solve it for you, then what is your JSON and what is the assertion failure message that you're getting?

Thanks for your response.  I have included an example of the JSON below, along with the script assertion. 

 

My requirement is to validate that there are 2 decimal places and it appears that the latest version (5.4.0) does not allow or support this any more; 5.3.0 worked just fine.

 

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
def json = slurper.parseText '{"accountBalance":{"value":125755.00,"currency":"CAD","amountType":"DEBIT"}}'

assert json.accountBalance.value.toString() == "125755.00"

 

When running the above, I get the following error -

 

assert json.accountBalance.value.toString() == "125755.00" | | | | | | | | 125755 false | | 125755 | [amountType:DEBIT, currency:CAD, value:125755] [accountBalance:[amountType:DEBIT, currency:CAD, value:125755]]
