I am setting up an E2E test and chaining my request/responses. I am defining variables from each response and using them in the next call.
Its working up to a point, and then a problem surfaces when defining off the 2nd response.
If I def operationId, operationSubject, or operationStatus (e.g response.operationId), it works.
If I store anything from the results (e.g response.results.0.personId) it throws this error
Expected ; but found .0
response.results.0.personId
My response:
{
"operationId": "922459ecxxxxx",
"operationSubject": "BATCH_ENROLLMENT",
"operationStatus": "PROCESSED",
"results": {
"0": {
"personId": "367a73b5xxxx",
"status": "PRE_AUTH",
"email": "mquinter+TEST.69387488#email.com",
"loanNumber": null
},
"1": {
"personId": "56f060fd-e34xxxxxx",
"status": "PRE_AUTH",
"email": "mquintxxxx#email.com",
"loanNumber": null
}
}
}
That's not how to access data in JSON. See this similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/71847841/143475
Maybe you meant to do this:
* def foo = response.results[0].personId
https://stackoverflow.com/users/143475/peter-thomas
I see the issue - It wasn't finding the response because I wasn't giving it enough time before the next call.
I put a sleep in there and its working as expected.
Thanks

I am trying to populate a google sheet using an API. But the API has more than one row to be returned for a single query. Following is the JSON returned by API.

By using the following calls via IMPORTJSON,
=ImportJSON(CONCATENATE("https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/"&$A2), "/phonetics/text", "noHeaders")
=ImportJSON(CONCATENATE("https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/"&$A2), "/meanings/partOfSpeech", "noHeaders")

=ImportJSON(CONCATENATE("https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/"&$A2), "/meanings/definitions/example", "noHeaders")
I am able to get the following in GoogleSheets,
Whereas, the actual output according to JSON should be,
As you can see a complete row is being overwritten. How can this be fixed?
EDIT
Following is the link to sheet for viewing only.
I believe your goal as follows.
You want to achieve the bottom image in your question on Google Spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the method for directly retrieving the bottom image using ImportJson. So in this answer, I would like to propose a sample script for retrieving the values you expect using Google Apps Script. I thought that creating a sample script for directly achieving your goal might be simpler rather than modifying ImportJson.
Sample script:
function SAMPLE(url) {
var res = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {muteHttpExceptions: true});
if (res.getResponseCode() != 200) return res.getContentText();
var obj = JSON.parse(res.getContentText());
var values = obj[0].meanings.reduce((ar, {partOfSpeech, definitions}, i) => {
definitions.forEach(({definition, example, synonyms}, j) => {
var v = [definition, Array.isArray(synonyms) ? synonyms.join(",") : synonyms, example];
var phonetics = obj[0].phonetics[i];
ar.push(j == 0 ? [(phonetics ? phonetics.text : ""), partOfSpeech, ...v] : ["", "", ...v]);
});
return ar;
}, []);
return values;
}
When you use this script, please put =SAMPLE(CONCATENATE("https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/"&$A2)) to a cell as the custom formula.
Result:
When above script is used, the following
Note:
In this sample script, when the structure of the JSON object is changed, it might not be able to be used. So please be careful this.

I have a use case where I want to assert on a API response and compare it with the csv data.
Step1:
Csv file: *test.csv*
id,date,fullname,cost,country,code
1,02-03-2002,user1,$200,Canada,CAN
2, 04-05-2016,user2,$1500,United States, USA
I read the csv file and store it in a variable
def var1 = read(test.csv)
So now, var1 is a list of jsons based on my csv
var1 = [
{
"id":1,
"date":"02-03-2002",
"fullname": "user1",
"cost": "$200",
"country": "Canada",
"code": "CAN"
},
{
"id":2,
"date":"04-05-2016",
"fullname": "user2",
"cost": "$1500",
"country": "United States",
"code": "USA"
}
]
Step2:
I hit my api and get a response
Given url "https://dummyurl.com
Given path "/userdetails"
When method get
Then status 200
* def apiResponse = response
Step 3:
My api returns a list response which is:
{
"id":1,
"date":"02-03-2002",
"fullname": "user1",
"cost": "$200",
"country": {
"name": "Canada",
"code": "CAN"
}
},
{
"id":2,
"date":"05-04-2012",
"fullname": "user2",
"cost": "$1500",
"country": {
"name": "United States",
"code": "USA"
}
},
...and more 100 records..
]
Step 4:
So there are two assertions now which I wanted to perform
Get the count of csvresponse and apiresponse and compare which I did using the .length operator
Secondly, I want to confirm if each csv records are matching with each api response.
And if possible in my case id key from csv and apiresponse is primary key, so if I can iterate on id and match the api response for any discrepancy.
Let me know if this is readable for you and if I was able to explain my use case.
Thanks for your earlier response.
Please read up on the match contains syntax, that's all you need: https://github.com/intuit/karate#match-contains
So this one line should be enough:
* match var1 contains response
Also look at this answer in case the new contains deep helps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63103746/143475
Try to avoid iterating, it is not needed for most API tests. But you can certainly do it. Look at these answers:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/62567262/143475
Also read this - because I suspect you are trying to over-complicate your tests. Please don't. Write tests where your are 100% sure of the "shape" of the response as far as possible: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54126724/143475
And please please read the docs. It is worth it.
I am checking for an 'OK' parameter in response but getting above mentioned error. The same code was working with my previous karate version, now I am using 0.9.0 - This might be some issue with my coding, can't figure out.
Response:
"testResponse": {
"planSummary": {
"includedServicesList": [
{
"some elements goes here": "test"
}
],
"status": {
"statusCd": "200",
"statusTxt": "OK"
}
}
}
My Feature File Code:
When method get
Then status 200
Then match response contains 'OK'
I get expected: 'OK', reason: actual value is not a string error.
I tried with Then match response contains {statusTxt: 'OK'} as well.
You can try this,
* match response.testResponse.planSummary.status contains {'statusTxt' : 'OK'}
OR
* match response.testResponse.planSummary.status.statusTxt == 'OK'
I have an API which has response as below:
"data": {
"catalog_list_items": [
{
"catalog_list_items": [
{
"catalog_list_items": [
{
"title": "L13",
"content_id": "58a85146b0000ec",
"sequence_no": 1,
"language": "hindi",
"genres": [
"xxxx"
]
I would like to create a test in postman to verify that the language key has value as 'hindi'. I am writing below test in Postman which always fails. Cannot find the reason.
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
tests["Language is hindi"] = jsonData.data.catalog_list_items[3].language === "hindi";
However, when I use the similar structure to test sequence_no, it works fine
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
tests["Sequence No is 1"]= jsonData.data.catalog_list_items[3].sequence_no === 1;
Can anyone shed a light for me?
I could see 3 level nested arrays in your response body.
So I don't know how are you getting your value through this expression:
jsonData.data.catalog_list_items[3].language
The correct expression to get the 'language' key from above response should be:
jsonData.data.catalog_list_items[0].catalog_list_items[0].catalog_list_items[0].language
I am accessing the facebook api and using the json.net library (newtonsoft.json.net)
I declare a Jobject to parse the content and look for the specific elements and get their values. Everything works fine for the first few but then I get this unexplained nullexception error " (Object reference not set to an instance of an object)
Now I took a look at the declaration but cannot see how to change it. Any help appreciated:
Dim jobj as JObject = JObject.Parse(responseData)
message = jobj("message").tostring
The error occurs at the last line above.I check to see if message is null and then look for the next desired field as follows
catch exception..
dim jobj2 as JObject = JObject.parse(responseData)
description = jobj2("description").tostring

},
This is one example where "message" does not appear in the first few lines but appears later. So what I do is look for position of message and description and which ever is first go and get that and if I get an error or the fields do not return anything, I try and parse by regex and even that is not working right.
Well, presumably jobj("message") has returned Nothing, which will happen if jobj doesn't have a message property. If you think this is incorrect, please post a short but complete piece of JSON to help us investigate.
(Is there any reason why you're declaring message and assigning it a value on the second line, only to overwrite that value on the third line?)
