want to assert inner list in karate - karate

I have this kind of response in my API and I want to check that any of the list doesn't contain duplicate values.
[["1100","1100"],["123456"],["123456"],["123456"],["123516","110011"],["123515","110010"],["123514","110009"],["123513","110008"]]
when I use * match response == karate.distinct(response) , it compares all the values and not the values within the inner list like below
[["1100","2200"],["123456"],["123516","110011"],["123515","110010"],["123514","110009"],["123513","110008"]]
I only want to check whether inner list doesn't contain duplicate values, regardless of outer list elements.
This is the parent question https://stackoverflow.com/a/71807872/3664382, but now I'm stuck here -

Use match each: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate#match-each
And combine it with a "self" validation: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate#self-validation-expressions
* def fun = function(x){ return karate.match(x, karate.distinct(x)).pass }
* match each response == '#? fun(_)'
I have no idea how people end up with these weird situations. Please read this and I hope it makes sense: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54126724/143475
For completeness, you should take some time to understand JsonPath. This below will "flatten" the entire response into a single array:
* def temp = $response[*][*]

Karate - Matching 2 JSON objects for values but applying regex to one element of objects

I have 2 json as follows:
a: [{"code":"00","name":"A","iconUrl":"https:env1.test.png"}, {"code":"01","name":"B"}]
b: [{"iconUrl":"https:env2.test.png", "code":"00","name":"A"}, {"code":"01","name":"B"}]
I want to compare the 2 json objects. I tried match contains only.
My test is failing due to mismatch of env1 and env2 in iconUrl. By any chance is there a way out to resolve it by applying regex for iconUrl and not affecting the validation for code and number?
There are many possible ways, here is one:
* def first = [{"code":"00","name":"A","iconUrl":"https:env1.test.png"}, {"code":"01","name":"B"}]
* def second = [{"iconUrl":"https:env2.test.png", "code":"00","name":"A"}, {"code":"01","name":"B"}]
* second[0].iconUrl = '#string'
* match first == second

Removing quotes from param values in karate request

Scenario: I get response from a karate request which is in the form as below:
idValues = ["123:ABCD-F", "345:CFGB-F", "678:DERF-F"]
I then need to make a further request in a scenario where the values from array above is passed in karate's request * param as below:
Given path 'users','details'
* param = 123:ABCD-F, 345:CFGB-F, 678:DERF-F
When method get
Then status 200
Issue: I need to send this list of ids as comma separated values without the " quotes to the param keyword. If the values are passed to params with quotes, karate further encloses the ids within quotes (which is the correct behaviour i think) and because of this i do not get the expected response.
Wanted to know if there is a way to:
1. Take the values out of the array, remove the quotes from start and end.
2. Pass these as comma separated values to `param' keyword (as shown in the example above).
Thanks
2 suggestions.
karate.forEach() can do any kind of conversion you want. Here is an example. If you find this too ugly, use Java (search the docs for Java Interop):
* def idValues = ["123:ABCD-F", "345:CFGB-F", "678:DERF-F"]
* def fun = function(x, i){ var s = karate.get('temp'); if (i) x = ',' + x; karate.set('temp', s + x) }
* def temp = ''
* karate.forEach(idValues, fun)
* print temp
param will always encode, and as you said - it is the right behavior. So use url and manually concatenate the path you need. Refer this answer for more:

Karate API Testing - Way to check that there is no null in response value

I have a huge response body which somewhat looks like this, appears for one request(For example: dept = 123):
{
"id":"7202",
"employee_name":"sammmmmmmmm",
"employee_salary":"6777",
"employee_age":"7",
"profile_image":""
}
While doing validation, I need to check that none of the key field value should be null in response. As the response body contains so many key fields, i do not want to check notnull for each key.
I want to perform this validation in one go. Is there any way, by which, we can validate it in one or two lines with the minimum code?
Note: This column list is not fixed. When we change the dept id, the response changes with the different set of columns. And we have to validate it with 10-15 different dept id's.
You can use karate.forEach(k, v) that will process each key-value pair.
* def nullFound = false
* def fun = function(k, v){ if (!k) karate.set('nullFound', true) }
* eval karate.forEach(response, fun)
* match nullFound == false

Using a table for variable name in a table is not found when called for

I am making quite the complex thing and I am trying to use tables as variable names cause I have found that lua works with it, that is:
lua
{[{1,2}]="Meep"}
The issue is it is callable, when I do it and try to call it using the same kind of table, it won't find it.
I have tried looking for it and such but I have no clue why it won't do this.
ua
local c = {[{1,2}]="Meep"}
print(c[{1,2}],c)
Do I expect to become but it does not.
"Meep",{[{1,2}]="Meep"}
but what I get is
nil,{[{1,2}]="Meep"}
If I however try
lua
local m={1,2}
local c = {[m]="Meep"}
print(c[m],c)
it becomes the correct one, is there a way to avoid that middle man? After all m=={1,2} will return true.
The problem you have is that tables in lua are represented as references. If you compare two different talbes you are comparing those references. So the equation only gets true if the given tables are exactly the same.
t = { 1, 2, 3 }
t2 = { 1, 2, 3 }
print(t == t) -- true
print(t2 == t) -- false
print(t2 == t2) -- true
Because of this fact, you can pass them in function per reference.
function f(t)
t[1] = 5
end
t2 = { 1 }
f(t2)
print(t2[1]) -- 5
To bypass this behavior, you could (like suggested in comments) serialize the table before using it as a key.

How to specify multiple values in where with AR query interface in rails3

Per section 2.2 of rails guide on Active Record query interface here:
which seems to indicate that I can pass a string specifying the condition(s), then an array of values that should be substituted at some point while the arel is being built. So I've got a statement that generates my conditions string, which can be a varying number of attributes chained together with either AND or OR between them, and I pass in an array as the second arg to the where method, and I get:
ActiveRecord::PreparedStatementInvalid: wrong number of bind variables (1 for 5)
which leads me to believe I'm doing this incorrectly. However, I'm not finding anything on how to do it correctly. To restate the problem another way, I need to pass in a string to the where method such as "table.attribute = ? AND table.attribute1 = ? OR table.attribute1 = ?" with an unknown number of these conditions anded or ored together, and then pass something, what I thought would be an array as the second argument that would be used to substitute the values in the first argument conditions string. Is this the correct approach, or, I'm just missing some other huge concept somewhere and I'm coming at this all wrong? I'd think that somehow, this has to be possible, short of just generating a raw sql string.
This is actually pretty simple:
Model.where(attribute: [value1,value2])
Sounds like you're doing something like this:
Model.where("attribute = ? OR attribute2 = ?", [value, value])
Whereas you need to do this:
# notice the lack of an array as the last argument
Model.where("attribute = ? OR attribute2 = ?", value, value)
Have a look at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html#array-conditions for more details on how this works.
Instead of passing the same parameter multiple times to where() like this
User.where(
"first_name like ? or last_name like ? or city like ?",
"%#{search}%", "%#{search}%", "%#{search}%"
)
you can easily provide a hash
User.where(
"first_name like :search or last_name like :search or city like :search",
{search: "%#{search}%"}
)
that makes your query much more readable for long argument lists.

Was really close. You can turn an array into a list of arguments with *my_list.
Model.where("id = ? OR id = ?", *["1", "2"])
OR
params = ["1", "2"]
Model.where("id = ? OR id = ?", *params)
Should work
If you want to chain together an open-ended list of conditions (attribute names and values), I would suggest using an arel table.
It's a bit hard to give specifics since your question is so vague, so I'll just explain how to do this for a simple case of a Post model and a few attributes, say title, summary, and user_id (i.e. a user has_many posts).
First, get the arel table for the model:
table = Post.arel_table
Then, start building your predicate (which you will eventually use to create an SQL query):
relation = table[:title].eq("Foo")
relation = relation.or(table[:summary].eq("A post about foo"))
relation = relation.and(table[:user_id].eq(5))
Here, table[:title], table[:summary] and table[:user_id] are representations of columns in the posts table. When you call table[:title].eq("Foo"), you are creating a predicate, roughly equivalent to a find condition (get all rows whose title column equals "Foo"). These predicates can be chained together with and and or.
When your aggregate predicate is ready, you can get the result with:
Post.where(relation)
which will generate the SQL:
SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts"
WHERE (("posts"."title" = "Foo" OR "posts"."summary" = "A post about foo")
AND "posts"."user_id" = 5)
This will get you all posts that have either the title "Foo" or the summary "A post about foo", and which belong to a user with id 5.
Notice the way arel predicates can be endlessly chained together to create more and more complex queries. This means that if you have (say) a hash of attribute/value pairs, and some way of knowing whether to use AND or OR on each of them, you can loop through them one by one and build up your condition:
relation = table[:title].eq("Foo")
hash.each do |attr, value|
relation = relation.and(table[attr].eq(value))
# or relation = relation.or(table[attr].eq(value)) for an OR predicate
end
Post.where(relation)
Aside from the ease of chaining conditions, another advantage of arel tables is that they are independent of database, so you don't have to worry whether your MySQL query will work in PostgreSQL, etc.
Here's a Railscast with more on arel: http://railscasts.com/episodes/215-advanced-queries-in-rails-3?view=asciicast
Hope that helps.
You can use a hash rather than a string. Build up a hash with however many conditions and corresponding values you are going to have and put it into the first argument of the where method.
WRONG
This is what I used to do for some reason.
keys = params[:search].split(',').map!(&:downcase)
# keys are now ['brooklyn', 'queens']
query = 'lower(city) LIKE ?'
if keys.size > 1
# I need something like this depending on number of keys
# 'lower(city) LIKE ? OR lower(city) LIKE ? OR lower(city) LIKE ?'
query_array = []
keys.size.times { query_array << query }
#['lower(city) LIKE ?','lower(city) LIKE ?']
query = query_array.join(' OR ')
# which gives me 'lower(city) LIKE ? OR lower(city) LIKE ?'
end
# now I can query my model
# if keys size is one then keys are just 'brooklyn',
# in this case it is 'brooklyn', 'queens'
# #posts = Post.where('lower(city) LIKE ? OR lower(city) LIKE ?','brooklyn', 'queens' )
#posts = Post.where(query, *keys )
now however - yes - it's very simple. as nfriend21 mentioned
Model.where(attribute: [value1,value2])
does the same thing
