Assertions to verify items are being returned in alphabetical order/ascending/descending order etc

 
 

How can I perform assertions on the RESPONSE of a REST API request in order to verify the items (such as DocumentID are being returned in alphabetical order/ascending/descending order etc)

 

Thanks 🙂

It would have been easier if the data is provided.

May be you can find some helpful samples in my github:

Hi

 

After calling a API used for sorting, please see further below the typical JSON Response I need to perform assertions on.

 

 

Please note the results for transactionId are being returned in ascending order so I need to perform an assertion on this.  I will need to carry out other assertions on new API calls for results being returned in descending order etc.

 

JSON Response

 

"results": [
{
"transactionId": 001
"documentNumber": "1234",
"purchaseDate": "2012-05-01T00:00:00",
"uploadedBy": "Kane, Lucy"
},
{
"transactionId": 002,
"userId": "f4b012345678",
"documentNumber": "105343998358653377",
"customerReference": "32145",
"purchaseDate": "2004-12-01T00:00:00",
"uploadedBy": "Mac, Mike"
},
{
"transactionId": 003,
"userId": "f4b0d0c3",
"documentNumber": "1085593563205677",
"purchaseDate": "2006-09-21T00:00:00",
"uploadedBy": "Kelly, Anne"
},

Was it a number or string? Just because, they are padded with zeros.

It is an integer.  For other API calls I will also need to need to assert on strings (whether they are being returned in ascending/descending order).  In other words, I need a solution for both. Thanks.

The response for TransactionId should not include leading zeros (I used dummy data), apologies this is an Integer field. Apologies for the confusion.

Ok, thank you for clarifying. What is the other field / property name?

Based on the script given, you should be able adopt the script for all these properties.

Just pass required value to "getPropertyValues".
