How to add assertions to responses in a datasource loop?

Hi Li,

If you are going to assert the entire content of the response you could create a separate datasource containing the assertions expected response; ie create one xpath assertion with the xpath expression selecting the envelope and the expected content set to ${AssertionDataSource#expectedContent}

(Since you can have only one DataSourceLoop, you need to make sure that the loop actually "passes" the AssertionDataSource for each run so it gets the next row each time)

Could that be an option?

regards!

Hi Ole!
This is junaid li Colleague. Actually i was trying the suggestion you have given about putting assertion in datasource but i am having trouble doing so. First of all please advise is it possible to have two different type of error in the assertion. Meaning 1 error is soap fault and another one is actual error thrown by the system. I tried and i personally think we can't have soap fault and application error in the same because Xpath will be totally different for both.
Please advice.

Thanks
Junaid

Hi!

both the XPath and expression and the expected content can be specified using property expansion, so you could have a datasource with 2 properties ("xpath" and "content") and then expand them with ${DataSource#xpath} and ${DataSource#content} in the corresponding XPath assertion fields.

Hope this helps!
