Dynamic Assertion : Resolving Property in Assertion for JSON Path

[Sriraj]

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}')].Order_Status_Id__c

The above path has been configured in the JSON path expression match Assertion where the expected value at the node is = Received.

The value for the property EmployeeId is captured in one of the steps before running the above assertion .

What i see that when the assertion is resolved , the value for Employee ID is not considered and thus the assertion fails.

Can someone help me with this ?

May be if you can show the json and what do you need to assert, that would be helpful.

@nmrao thanks for the note. 

Consider the JSON snippet Below.

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

An assertion with the below path will yield value as "Received"

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

However in my case the value which goes in the property <prop_EmployeeId> is captured from a response and this is got at run time .

I want to use this property prop_EmployeeId which is filled at run time and place it in the JSON path in the assertion so that i can validate the value "Received".

Please let me now if you need more information

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.
