JsonPath RegEx Match

[jjaspe]

I'm trying to assert that an JSON HttpResponse has the following string in it :

"TotalNumberOfResults": 1

but the one could be any number except 0.

I tried using JsonPath RegEx Match but when I type in the Regex it doesn't get saved, so it always passes. 

I also tried doing a regular Contains assertion, with this Regex

"TotalNumberOfResults": [1-9]\d* 

and that didn't work either. I know the expression is right because i tried it on RegExr.com with the exact output of the HTTP response and it gets a match. 

I also tried doing a JsonPath Match assertion with $['TotalNumberOfResults']>0 in the expression and "true" in the expected result, didn't work either.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The first option using JsonPath RegEx Match should work.

Can you try recreating the assertion to see if it saves correctly?

I have used a similar assertion

JSONPath Expression  $.Total

Regular Expression  ^[1-9][0-9]*$

Expected Result  true

For "greater than" checks, use the XPath Match assertion:

XPath assertion: //*:TotalNumberOfResults > 0

Expected result: true

Yes I tried many times in different test cases and it never saves the expression. Anyway, I learned how to use script assertions with jsonSlurper so I'm doing everything JSON related that way now. Thanks.

That is probably a defect with saving a regular expression in the assertion.

I actually created JSONPath RegEx Match assertion in SoapUI open source version with no problem, but the regular expression is not saved in Ready API.

I am having the same problem of not being able to save changes to an existing JSONPath RegEx Match Assertion or a newly created one.

Did anyone report this as a bug?

I found this post where version 1.9 has a bug and it does not save the RegEx.
