    Hey eissaeva 

     

    '${Request 1#Response}' simply means you've parameterised a certain value rather than hardcoding the thing.

     

    The '${      }' just means 'parameter'

     

    The 'Request 1#' bit means simply the Name you've defined for the Request - e.g. "Submit POST"

     

    The 'Response' bit just means the  response of the specified request.

     

    So using the above info, the parm would be written as '${Submit POST#Response}

     

    In the instructions page you've identified, I think you're talking about the following code snippet.  This is about comparing XML responses - right?

     

    So the code is as follows:

    def request = context.expand( '${Request 1#Response}' )
def response = context.expand( '${Request 2#Response}' )

     

    so here you're grabbing the response of Request 1 and passing it into the variable defined as 'request'

    and you're grabbing the response of Request 2 and passing it into the variable defined as 'response'

     

     

    Does that help at all?

     

    Cheers,

      Yes, makes sense.

      Is it possible to use this code to compare actual and expected response of the same request? How to achieve this?

      Also, my response is in JSON format

      Is it possible to convert it to XML?

        Hey eissaeva

        Easiest way to convert json to xml in a response is to add the 'Accept' http header to the request that generates the response.

        The value you set for the header will be 'application/xml'.

        This will set the response sent back from your endpoint as xml

        Cheers

    When you use "Get Data " and select any of Request, in this case, the Request in TestCase, as both have Rest Request 1 and 2 it just get the name, if you renamed your request then that name get replaced here.

     

     

    ( '${Request 1#Response}' )  <Request Name # and the specific Responce

    ( '${<Your RequestName>#Response}' )  <Request Name # and the specific Responce
