[Shwetali]

in groovy script -comparing soap response  with database 

values are same but it fails when I asserting it because of spaces in response's data.

error like assertion failed

 |.           || 

 '23'            |23

          false

@Shwetali,

you need to make sure you compare the same data types (i.e., both are strings or integers).

To get rid of the whitespaces at the beginning and the end strings you can use the trim() method:

myString.trim()
