I am comparing 2 strings. The first string, I get it from the excel sheet and the 2nd string I get it from the response.
Example: 1st String: “abc”
2nd String from response: “abc xyz”
When I compare these 2 I should get an error as “abc” is not equal to “abc xyz”.
But I see that I am not getting the error instead the test is getting passed.
Below is the test function:
const jsonData = pm.response.json();
var resName = jsonData.hits[0].Name;
var inputName = pm.iterationData.get(“name”);
pm.test(‘Name’, function(){
pm.expect((inputName).toUpperCase).to.deep.eql((resName).toUpperCase)
})
Here the resName is ‘abc xyz’ and inputName is ‘abc’. This should throw an error but the test is getting passed
Postman uses CHAI for assertions.
https://www.chaijs.com/api/bdd/
Causes all .equal , .include , .members , .keys , and .property assertions that follow in the chain to use deep equality instead of strict (=== ) equality.
Just removed the deep from the assertion.
pm.expect((inputName).toUpperCase).to.eql((resName).toUpperCase)
I tried to.eql as well. No change. Still the test passes which is invalid
It should be the following.
pm.test("Name", function(){
pm.expect(inputName.toUpperCase()).to.eql(resName.toUpperCase());
})`
Because you aren’t calling the toUpperCase() function properly, the way you had it is basically comparing the text [Function: toUpperCase] for both variables. (Therefore passing each time).
