How to assert array response

[henil_shah]

[
{
"id" : "1234",
"name":"xyz"
},
"jsonfield1" : {
"jsonfield" : "xyz"
}
}
]

I got this response of my API. I dont know how to assert array.

Generally, I store in hashmap

def response_string = messageExchange.response.responseContent

def response_slurper = new JsonSlurper()
def response_hashmap = response_slurper.parseText(response_string)

assert response_hashmap.id =="123"

Its failing here since its an array. 

Looking for a snippet.

Hello,

I would supply a snippet, but i cannot validate the json you presented in your sample...  the json editors I dropped your json into all returned a parse error.  The json sluper in SoapUI could not parse either.  Did you hand code the example or cut and paste directly from API response?  I cannot reproduce with your supplied sample.

Regards.

Hi Todd,

This is the correct JSON

[{
"id": "1234",
"name": "xyz",
"jsonfield1": {
"jsonfield": "xyz"
}
}]

Hello henil_shah,

I think just adding an element number of the array/list to the assertion will work for you.  Groovy script sample below.

Regards

import groovy.json.*;

def jsonSampletxt = '''
[{
"id": "1234",
"name": "xyz",
"jsonfield1": {
"jsonfield": "xyz"
}
}]
''';

def jsonSampleobj = new JsonSlurper().parseText(jsonSampletxt);
jsonSampleobj.each { item ->
   log.info 'item=' + item.toString();
};
log.info 'jsonSampleobj.size()= ' + jsonSampleobj.size();
log.info ' ';
log.info 'jsonSampleobj.id=' + jsonSampleobj.id;
log.info 'jsonSampleobj.id[0]=' + jsonSampleobj.id[0];
log.info 'jsonSampleobj.name=' + jsonSampleobj.name;
log.info 'jsonSampleobj.name[0]=' + jsonSampleobj.name[0];

assert jsonSampleobj.id[0] == '1234', "Element 0 of .id Array/List should be equal to '1234'";
assert jsonSampleobj.name[0] == 'xyz', "Element 0 of .name Array/List should be equal to 'xyz'";

log.info 'Test Step "' + testRunner.runContext.currentStep.name + '" done...';
