    You can use the following code:

     

    ...
if (!(it.value == outputResp[it.key]))
    {
        log.info ("File Mismatch at : " + it.key)
        testRunner.fail( "File mismatch..." )
    }
...

    This should be simple to do. But just to clarify before giving an answer:

     

    1. If you want to compare the response with an existing content of a file why do you want to save the response to a file. Wouldn't it be simpler to just read the content of the initial file and compare it directly with the current response.

    2. I am not aware of the full context of your test but I generally see this kind of tests unreliable. If something is to change in the response you may have to do a lot of rework.

      1.Yes. Is that possible?

      2. True!

       

      i found some Code and it works but maybe u can help me. If there is a Mismatch there is only a log.info and the test continues with "PASS". Is taht possible to say is there a mismatch the test failed?

       

      import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def filePath = "C:/qwerty/test.json"
def jsonResp = context.expand('${GET ProCon#Response}') 

def outputResp = new JsonSlurper().parseText(jsonResp)
def baselineResp = new JsonSlurper().parseText(new File(filePath).text)

baselineResp.each{

    if (!(it.value == outputResp[it.key]))
    {
        log.info ("File Mismatch at : " + it.key)
    }

}

        You can use a keyword assert i.e assert expected == actual
