Assertion error but Expected same as Actual

[cl...@ninjavan.sg]

Hi everybody,

We got the following assertion error even though both the Expected and Actual values are same:

java.lang.AssertionError: 1 expectation failed.

JSON path inboundScan.result doesn't match.

Expected: [TRACKING_ID_NOT_FOUND]

     Actual: [TRACKING_ID_NOT_FOUND]

Below is the screenshot of the error:

We tried equalTo, equalToIgnoringWhiteSpace and equalToIgnoringCase with/without trim but it is still the same

Here is a snippet of the code:

.then()

            .body("inboundScan.result", equalTo("[TRACKING_ID_NOT_FOUND]".trim()));

For your information, we are using REST-assured 2.8.0 in MacOS X 10.11.2. Not sure if it helps

Please advise on how to resolve this. Thank you

Regards,

Clyde

What does your JSON/XML looks like?

Hi Johan,

Here is the actual JSON printed in debug log:

[debug] - org.apache.http.wire -  >> "[{"scan":"InvalidID", "type":"SORTING_HUB", "hubId":1}]"

While the one in code is this:

.body("[{\"scan\":\"InvalidID\", \"type\":\"SORTING_HUB\", \"hubId\":1}]")

Regards,

Clyde

But that JSON document doesn't contain an attribute named "inboundScan"?

[Clyde Tan]

Sorry, it's my fault

Here's the response JSON printed in debug log:

[debug] - org.apache.http.wire -  << "[{"inboundScan":{"id":18413,"createdAt":"2016-01-18T07:32:13Z","updatedAt":null,"deletedAt":null,"routeId":null,"scan":"InvalidID","location":null,"activeOrder":null,"activeRoute":null,"hubId":null,"type":"SORTING_HUB","result":"TRACKING_ID_NOT_FOUND"}}]"

Right, so the object your extracting is in a list so you can't use equalTo on the object itself. Use the hasItems matcher instead.

Thank you Johan for pointing out the expected behaviour
