Dynamic Assertion : Resolving Property in Assertion for JSON Path

Hi ,    I have a JSON path evaluation in one of the assertions where the path is created dynamically based on a value from the response field , Example below .   [?(@.Some_Id_c=='${#EmployeeId}')...

You need to prefix the property name with the corresponding scope, such as ${#Project#EmployeeId} if it's a project property  or ${#TestCase#EmployeeId} if it's a test case property.

HKosova Right. i was concentrating on the problem statement thus did not add the testcase name etc..

    Given the exact JSON

    {
  "Name": "ABC",
  "Item_Id": "<EmployeeId>",
  "Status_Id": "Received",
  "Points": 5
}

    your JSONPath should work fine, provided that the property name, scope and value are correct:

    [?(@.Item_Id=='${#TestCase#EmployeeId}')].Status_Id

     

    If the object you are testing is nested inside another object, such as:

    {
  "something":
  {
    "Name": "ABC",
    "Item_Id": "<EmployeeId>",
    "Status_Id": "Received",
    "Points": 5
  }
}

    you need to specify the path from the root object, e.g.:

    $..[?(@.Item_Id=='${#TestCase#EmployeeId}')].Status_Id

     

    If you post the exact JSON, we could give a more precise answer.
