Can't deserialize to pojo class (Kotlin) (RestAssured) - kotlin

Question

**Hello! Here is the request to the server **
var stories: Story? =
given().log().all()
.contentType(ContentType.JSON)
.body(body)
.`when`().log().all()
.post(baseURI)
.then().log().all()
.extract().`as`(Story::class.java)
println (Story().title)
println (Story().id)
println (Story().items)
Here is POJO class
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties
#JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
class Data {
var stories: String? = null
}
class Story() {
var id = 0
var title: String? = null
var description: String? = null
var imageUrl: String? = null
var imageUrlEco: String? = null
var images: String? = null
var style: String? = null
var styleWeb: String? = null
var link: String? = null
var linkWeb: String? = null
var linkEco: String? = null
var buttonText: String? = null
var dateFrom: String? = null
var dateTo: String? = null
var hidden: String? = null
var isAuth: String? = null
var onboardingType: String? = null
var sortOrder = 0
var type: String? = null
var items: String? = null
}
class Item {
var id = 0
var title: String? = null
var description: String? = null
var detailedDescription: String? = null
var imageUrl: String? = null
var imageUrlWeb: String? = null
var style: String? = null
var styleWeb: String? = null
var sortOrder = 0
}
**And here is the response itself **
{
"data": {
"stories": \[
{
"id": 1234,
"title": "AnyText",
"description": "AnyText",
"imageUrl": "AnyText",
"imageUrlEco": AnyText,
"images": \[
],
"style": "AnyText",
"styleWeb": "AnyText",
"link": AnyText,
"linkWeb": AnyText,
"linkEco": AnyText,
"buttonText": "AnyText",
"dateFrom": "2022-11-22T00:00:00Z",
"dateTo": "2023-01-08T00:00:00Z",
"hidden": AnyText,
"isAuth": AnyText,
"onboardingType": AnyText,
"sortOrder": 1234,
"type": "AnyText",
"items": [
{
"id": 1234,
"title": "AnyText",
"description": "AnyText",
"detailedDescription": "AnyText",
"imageUrl": "AnyText",
"imageUrlWeb": "AnyText",
"style": "AnyText",
"styleWeb": "AnyText",
"sortOrder": 1
}
]
}
]
}
}
So when I try this:
println (Story().title)
println (Story().id)
println (Story().items)
The result of running the program is:
null
0
null
What I did wrong?

Answer 1

I have not used RestAssured so I cannot comment on the syntax/correctness of that, but your error is incorrectly referencing the object you have deserialized from the GET request.
var stories: Story? =
this means assign the result to a variable named stories
Later you write
println (Story().title)
what this means it print the field title from a brand new Story object. You should be doing this:
println (stories.title)
println (stories.id)
println (stories.items)
(stories should be named story if it represents one)
