Can some one please explain why my assertion is failing

[chathurad]

As on the image ActualschoolList and ExpectedchoolList are same.(you can see it as a log )

But when I try to assert it its giving me an error.

How to fix this.

Both variables are having somthing similar to this "[]"

I think it is because you variable "ActualschoolList" is an empty Groovy List object, but your variable "ExpectedchoolList" is the literal string "[]" these are two different things, thus the assertion fails. If you are expecting an emty list, try defining "ExpectedchoolList" as follows:

def ExpectedchoolList = []

See the following page for more info on working with lists:

Hi @chathurad,

Instead of doing [] == [], match the size if you don't want to assert on the items inside your List.

try using 

assert (actualList.size() == expectedList.size()) : "Size not equal"
