Facing some issue to print the API response values in one sentence - api

Question

I am trying to assert and print the response, for that need help.
Below is response body:
{
"createdIncidents":[
{
"incidentRef":"I0000000",
"personName":"API API",
"personType":"Patient"
},
{
"incidentRef":"I0000000",
"personName":"Ballarat HelpDesk",
"personType":"Staff"
},
{
"incidentRef":"I0000000",
"personName":"test api",
"personType":"Visitor"
},
{
"incidentRef":"I0000000",
"personName":null,
"personType":"Hazard"
}
]
}
I am trying to print incidentRef and personType together in a string.
For that, I am using this code:
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
data.createdIncidents.forEach(function(incident, personT) {
var personType = "personType" + personT.personType;
var incidents = "incidentRef" + incident.incidentRef;
var pt = tests["incidents created for " + personType ] = 'personType';
var inc = tests["incidents number is " + incidents] = 'incidents';
tests["incidents created for" +inc && + pt ];
});
Here it is not reading the second items inside the function.
In a separate function declaration it works fine.
I want to print it as:
"incidentRef": "I0000000 is created for "personType": "Hazard""

This would log each item from the createdIncidents array to the console - Unsure what you're actually trying to assert against though:
_.each(pm.response.json().createdIncidents, (arrItem) => {
console.log(`Incident Ref: ${arrItem.incidentRef} is created for Person Type: ${arrItem.personType}`)
})
Given your response data, this would be the output:
Incident Ref: I0000000 is created for Person Type: Patient
Incident Ref: I0000000 is created for Person Type: Staff
Incident Ref: I0000000 is created for Person Type: Visitor
Incident Ref: I0000000 is created for Person Type: Hazard
This could be wrapped in a pm.test() and the different items can be asserted against using the pm.expect() syntax.
This is very basic and is very hardcoded but it would check the data in your example:
pm.test('Check the response', () => {
_.each(pm.response.json().createdIncidents, (arrItem) => {
pm.expect(arrItem.incidentRef).to.equal("I0000000")
pm.expect(arrItem.personType).to.be.oneOf(['Patient','Staff','Visitor','Hazard'])
console.log(`Incident Ref: ${arrItem.incidentRef} is created for Person Type: ${arrItem.personType}`)
})
})
