How to Parse a JSON Response Using Groovy (Examples!)
This code can be copied directly into a Groovy Script test step and run to demonstrate a few ways to get data from a JSON REST response: // Some Examples of How to Parse a JSON Response Using Groovy // set the example json response string (for a REST Request step assertion, use "def json = messageExchange.response.contentAsString") def json = '[{"firstName":"Bob","lastName":"Smith","uniqueId":146732,"thisIsAlwaysNull":null,"jobInfo":{"title":"","type":"Peon","code":42},"reviews":[{"date":"2017-06-01","type":"Regular","rating":"Adequate"},{"date":"2017-09-15","type":"Special","rating":"Other"}]},{"firstName":"Jack","lastName":"Jones","uniqueId":746381,"thisIsAlwaysNull":null,"jobInfo":{"title":"Big Boss","type":"Management","code":1},"reviews":[{"date":"2007-11-05","type":"Initial","rating":"Spectacular"}]},{"firstName":"Will","lastName":"Tell","uniqueId":574831,"thisIsAlwaysNull":null,"jobInfo":{"title":"Sweeper","type":"Peon","code":452},"reviews":[]}]' // parse json string using JsonSlurper - basically converts it to a groovy list def parsedJson = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(json) // get data log.info " Count of people returned: " + parsedJson.size() log.info " Was Will's info returned (exists)? " + ( parsedJson.find { it.firstName == "Will" } != null ) log.info " Was Alice's info NOT returned (not exists)? " + ( parsedJson.find { it.firstName == "Alice" } == null ) log.info " First person's first name: " + parsedJson[0].firstName log.info " Index of person with ID 746381: " + parsedJson.findIndexOf { it.uniqueId == 746381 } log.info " Info for person with last name Tell: " + parsedJson.find { it.lastName == 'Tell' } log.info " Jack's ID: " + ( parsedJson.find { it.firstName == 'Jack' } ).uniqueId log.info " Jack Jones's job title: " + ( parsedJson.find { it.firstName == 'Jack' && it.lastName == 'Jones' } ).jobInfo.title log.info " All peon job type people's first names: " + ( parsedJson.findAll { it.jobInfo.type == 'Peon' } ).firstName log.info " Is Will's thisIsAlwaysNull null?

Since you are in the Test Suite Setup Script, the "project" object is not available (and you need to define the 'Value' property, if you haven't). Try: String Value = "Some Value" testSuite.setPropertyValue( "PropName", Value )6.6KViews3likes1CommentRe: Groovy Substr Method - Is it Possible To Parameterize the Left /Right Hand Value?
I'm not entiirely certain what 'namePropertyValue' actually contains, but if it's something like "/api/1/geographical-indication/product-group?Name=~chi", then this will get everything after the equals sign: def namePropertyvaluePartial = namePropertyvalue.substring( namePropertyvalue.indexOf( "=" ) )1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How to print Testcase name for Failed TestSteps
Using a groovy assert statement, anything after the colon is printed when the assertion fails. So, in a Groovy Step (where "testRunner" is available: String expected = "Bob" ; String actual = "Alan" ; assert actual == expected : testRunner.testCase.name + ": Actual does not match Expected" ; And in a Script Assertions in a an Assertion Step (where only "context" is available): String expected = "Bob" ; String actual = "Alan" ; assert actual == expected : context.testCase.name + ": Actual does not match Expected" ;952Views1like0CommentsRe: How to write property value in setup script for test suiteS?
I found this thread when I was trying to accomplish the same thing. In a project's Setup Script and TearDown Script, we have direct access to the 'project' object. So, setting a custom project property is simply: project.setPropertyValue( "PropName", Value ) Getting all project custom properties: def allProps = project.getProperties() And removing a specific project custom property: project.removeProperty( "PropName" )7.8KViews0likes4CommentsTip: context.expand() works on multiple properties in one string!
This may be obvious to everyone else, but I'd always used context.expand() on single properties, e.g.: value = context.expand( '${#TestSuite#TsCustomProp}' ). Today I realized that I could have multiple properties in a string, and using context.expand() on the entire string would expand all the properties in that string: String checkMe = 'This string has properties ${#TestSuite#TsCustomProp} and ${#TestCase#TcCustomProp} and ${#Env#DATASOURCE_USERNAME} and ${#Project#ProjCustomProp}' checkMe = context.expand( checkMe ) log.info " checkMe: '${checkMe}'" Which outputs Tue Apr 10 09:32:31 EDT 2018:INFO: checkMe: 'This string has properties MyTestSuiteCustomName and MyTestCase and CHARLES and thisisgreat' Awesome!Solved1.3KViews2likes1CommentRe: Data driven testing-Data source JDBC
This link lists the IBM DB2 SQL Error Codes; clicking on one of them opens a new page with more information (I use this all the time when debugging my SQL): http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/dsnmcj10/2.1.6?DT=20040216120637 The -104 code indicates there was something in the SQL that DB2 didn't recognize/expect; in the error string, look for the semi-colon and the unrecognized/unexpected something will be right before it, with possible fixes/alternatives after the semi-colon. In this case, "=nbr=and" is unrecognized; DB2 was expecting something like "AND".1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: how to format a date
Yes, the last six numbers are milliseconds. With a DB2 database, the output format for a timestamp (when queried) is "2014-02-11 22:57:12.650224", but if you need to set a timestamp, you have to format it "2014-02-11-22.57.12.650224". Since this is just a string, try: def ts = "2014-02-11 22:57:12.650224" // Replace space with dash ts = ts.replaceAll( " ", "-" ) // Replace colons with periods ts = ts.replaceAll( ":", "." ) log.info ts3.9KViews0likes0Comments
