erm....don't use jsonSlurper if you've running ReadyAPI! v2.3.0 - if you're still running earlier versions that will work - but I found out today (@New2API told me via another post) that jsonSlurper has been deprecated in the latest version and to use jsonUtil instead

 

Another post on the forum indicated the following changes

 

import net.sf.json.groovy.JsonSlurper

def abc = context.expand(grab an array from request/response)
def abcArray = new JsonSlurper().parseText(abc).results
def x = abcArray.size()

--> x  would tell me the number of nodes


Replaced now with:

import com.eviware.soapui.support.JsonUtil

def abc = context.expand(grab an array from request/response)
def abcArray = JsonUtil.parseTrimmedText(abc)
def x = abcArray.size()

--> x  would tell me the number of nodes

Although - I couldn't get it to jsonUtil to work with my script..... :(

 

cheers,

Hi,

 

I tested this on a free version of SoapUI but it should work the same on the pro version:

 

 

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def json = """
{
	"totalCount": 1375,
	"results": [
		{
		"title": "florence italy may 12 ryder ...",
		"metadata": {
			"caption": "florence italy may 12 ryder ...",
			"standard.license": "RF",
			"base.thumb_large.width": "100",
			"base.thumb_large.height": "150",
			"base.thumb_small_width": "67" }
		},
		{
		"title": "Title number 2...",
		"metadata": {
			"caption": "florence italy may 12 ryder ...",
			"standard.license": "RF",
			"base.thumb_large.width": "100",
			"base.thumb_large.height": "150",
			"base.thumb_small_width": "67" }
		},
		{
		"title": "Title number 3 ...",
		"metadata": {
			"caption": "florence italy may 12 ryder ...",
			"standard.license": "RF",
			"base.thumb_large.width": "100",
			"base.thumb_large.height": "150",
			"base.thumb_small_width": "67" }
		} ]
}
"""

def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
def parsedJson = slurper.parseText( json )
def resultsCount = parsedJson.results.size

for (int i = 0; i < resultsCount; i++) {
	assert parsedJson.results[i].metadata.caption.equals( "florence italy may 12 ryder ..." )	
}

Cheers! :catvery-happy:
