Contains assertion

[yognsal]

Hi

I have below json response format.

My all the data is constant except the date which chnages every day. due to this i am not able to validate the response using contains assertion. Is there any way through script i can chnage date in my contains assertion as per my requirement.?

Date could be yestarday or 7 days back.

[
{
"locatonID": "a036000000lRWFi",
"locationLevelInfo": [
{
"ssidName": "McDonalds Free WiFi",
"ssidLevelInfoList": [
{
"date": "31-07-2018 00:00:00",
"ssidDayLevelInfoList": [
{
"loyalUserCount": 47,
"newUserCount": 6,
"tonnage_in": 9745977.19,
"tonnage_out": 10456271.34,
"throughput_kbps": 505.18,
"totalUserCount": 53
}
]
}

add a groovy step to create your variable date

If you want today's date as the date to check you can add this

myDate = new Date()
context.testCase.setPropertyValue("date", myDate.format("MM-dd-yyyy 00:00:00"))

and then in your assertion step put this in to pull the variable from your property

${#TestCase#date}

if you are wanting to dynamically get tomorrows date then

myDate = new Date()
myDate = myDate - 1
context.testCase.setPropertyValue("date", myDate.format("MM-dd-yyyy 00:00:00"))

One more doubt, how do i set this to all the test cases present in all the test suites in the project.

Actually i am created a project which contains multiple test suites and every test suite contains multiple test cases.

I am trying something like below but it is not working -

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteList().each
{
it.getTestCaseList().each
{
myDate = new Date()
context.testCase.setPropertyValue("date", myDate.format("dd-MM-yyyy 00:00:00"))
log.info myDate

}

}

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteList().each {
    it.getTestCaseList().each { tc ->
        myDate = new Date()
        tc.setPropertyValue("date", myDate.format("dd-MM-yyyy 00:00:00"))
    }
}

could you please explain how it works?   what is 

 tc ->

It's just giving some variable name to the test cases that you are iterating over. So for example, it could have been:

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteList().each { thisTestSuite ->
    thisTestSuite.getTestCaseList().each { thisTestCase ->
        myDate = new Date()
        thisTestCase.setPropertyValue("date", myDate.format("dd-MM-yyyy 00:00:00"))
    }
}

If you don't name the variable by using the arrow, then the variable name will be "it".

I gave it a name because at that stage we are already inside a loop that had a variable called "it", so it would be confusing to use "it" again.

This arrow notation is used for Closures, you can learn more about them at http://groovy-lang.org/closures.html.
