How to verify responsebody with ignoring some timestamp fields?

[chang...@gmail.com]

In my test script, I want to verify responsebody with ignoring some timestamp fields.

 

Below is the sample json responsebody, I want to verify all the cotents except the   "value": "1395365082000" of      "name": "_lastModifiedDate" and   "value": "2968387199000" of  "_endDate",

{
    "country": "US",
    "depth": 2,
    "id": 0,
    "language": "en",
    "modelDepth": 0,
    "name": "Bundle1",
    "path": "Bundle1",
    "type": "tree",
    "properties": [
        {
            "name": "UI: PAGE BACKGROUND",
            "path": "Bundle1",
            "type": "String",
            "value": ""
        },

{
            "name": "_lastModifiedDate",
            "path": "Bundle1",
            "type": "Long",
            "value": "1395365082000"
        }, {
            "name": "_endDate",
            "path": "Bundle1",
            "type": "String",
            "value": "2968387199000"
        }

}

 

How to implement this?

 

I thought to get the "value": "1395365082000" of      "name": "_lastModifiedDate"  from responsebody, and update it to null. But, how Can I return the null value to responsebody? If this is reasonable, I can use

equalTo(ot.getMsgBodyfromJson(xmloutputpath)) to do the entire match.

Hi, 

If I understand your question correctly you want to validate some attributes and extract others to use them in a subsequent request?

To validate attributes you typically do something like this:

when().

get("/resource").

then().

body("country", equalTo("US")).

body("properties.type", hasItems("String", "Long")).

...

Note that you may not want to validate too many things (behavior tests can reside somewhere else, for example in a unit test). Also have a look at the json schema module.

To extract a single value from the response you can do:

String country =

when().

get("/resource").

then().

body("country", equalTo("US")).

body("properties.type", hasItems("String", "Long")).

extract().

        body("country");

To extract multiple values you can either map the response to a DTO or use JsonPath.

Johan, many thanks for your quick response.

 

As responsebody is large, actually I want to compare the whole content of ResponseBody except the timestamp with expected output saved in the file.

 

My original code is like this:

 

given().header("Accept", "application/xml").get("/Bundle1").then()

.log().all().assertThat().statusCode(200)

.body(equalTo(ot.getMsgBodyfromJson(xmloutputpath)))

Is there any way to exclude the timestamp before using equalTo? Like the method equalToExceptTimestamp?

Oh I see. If it's XML perhaps you can make use of XmlUnit (write a hamcrest matcher for it) and is it Json perhaps you can make use of Hamcrest-JSON. Not sure if you can exclude certain node/properties. If not perhaps you could create your own JSON schema (you can generate it).

When looking at your code I'm not sure if you're talking about JSON or XML? Seems like you expect xml (Accept header) but then you compare the body to a JSON document?!

JsonPath has below method to check whether there are such node:

new JsonPath((response.getBody().asString())).get("properties.findAll { properties -> properties.name =='_lastModifiedDate' }");

 

Can JsonPath support the customized remove method to delete unexpected node? If it's, I can easily to ignore some node verification.

 

new JsonPath((response.getBody().asString())).remove("properties.findAll { properties -> properties.name =='_lastModifiedDate' }");

 

Additionally where can I find such methods like "properties.findAll { properties -> properties.name =='_lastModifiedDate' "? Is this groovy.

JsonPath is only for reading, not modifying the document.
