Karate - Validating schema for the entire json response - karate

Question

I am working on validating the entire json response for a GET request using Karate.
Here is the sample json response from the request (I have shown only two elements for items )
[
{
"items": [
{
"createdById": "ADMIN",
"createdByName": "ADMIN",
"changedByName": "ADMIN",
"oid": "121212fgfg2123",
"links": {
"self": {
"href": "/internal/organiz/12345"
},
"subcom": []
},
"name": "NewETLTesting"
},
{
"createdById": "ADMIN",
"createdByName": "ADMIN",
"changedByName": "ADMIN",
"oid": "1212dfffg45",
"links": {
"self": {
"href": "/internal/organiz/5a6e0"
},
"subcom": []
},
"name": "FromKarateModified"
}
]
}
]
Here is how I am trying to validate:
And match response.*.* ==
"""
{
"createdById" : '#string',
"createdByName" : '#string',
"changedByName" : '#string',
"oid" : '#string',
"links" : '#object',
"name" : '#string'
}
"""
However, I am getting an assertion error:reason: actual value is not map-like. If I try putting square brackets around the curly braces, I get reason: actual and expected arrays are not the same size. Also I tried to play around with response like $.[*]. etc but couldn't get it working.
Thanks in advance!!

You need to pay attention to your JSON structure and also understand JsonPath better. You can cut and paste the below and see it working:
* def response =
"""
[
{
"items": [
{
"createdById": "ADMIN",
"createdByName": "ADMIN",
"changedByName": "ADMIN",
"oid": "121212fgfg2123",
"links": {
"self": {
"href": "/internal/organiz/12345"
},
"subcom": []
},
"name": "NewETLTesting"
},
{
"createdById": "ADMIN",
"createdByName": "ADMIN",
"changedByName": "ADMIN",
"oid": "1212dfffg45",
"links": {
"self": {
"href": "/internal/organiz/5a6e0"
},
"subcom": []
},
"name": "FromKarateModified"
}
]
}
]
"""
And match each response[0].items ==
"""
{
"createdById" : '#string',
"createdByName" : '#string',
"changedByName" : '#string',
"oid" : '#string',
"links" : '#object',
"name" : '#string'
}
"""

The below Schema will validate the entire reponse properly
* def refSubcom = {<object schema>}
* def refself = {href : '#string'}
* def refLinks = {self : '#object refself', subcom:'##[] refSubcom'}
* def optionalItemArr =
"""
{
createdById:'#string',
createdByName:'#string',
changedByName:'#string',
oid: '#string',
links: '#object refLinks',
name:'#string'
}
###
* def itemData =
"""
{
item : '##[] optionalItemArr'
}
"""
* def reponseSchema = '##object itemData'
* def SuccessSchema = '##[] reponseSchema'
