New to Postman and not accustomed to writing code so please help. Couldn’t find any similar post either which I could use.
I want to add an assertion to check whether a value is present in all the elements in an array.
In the below example, I have an array Fee with 3 elements.
I want to check whether all of them have a ClientName which contains “Seville” in it. How could I do that?
I have similar kind of requirement, I need assertion which will check clientName starts with string Seville or seville(s is in smaller case). Can you please help me with this please.
Using the text above you could modify the expect statement to add in an OR condition.
pm.test('The `clientName` starts With Seville or seville', () => {
_.each(jsonData.Fee, (item) => {
pm.expect(item.clientName.startsWith("Seville") || item.clientName.startsWith("seville")).to.be.true
})
})
You could also do something with regex and check for case insensitive words or even convert the string to upper or lower case to check the word - I don’t really know your use case so it’s hard for me to say.
Hi @danny-dainton ,
I have a similar situation where I need to validate the Fee is “123” for the clientName - “Seville”. How do I accomplish that? Should I go the for loop route? I am confused and your help would be great.
I wanted to verify if NS_Status is success or not.
I tried using the below code:
let jsonData = pm.response.json()
pm.test("Response body contains", () => {
_.each(jsonData.Responses, (item) => {
pm.expect(item.NS_Status).to.include('Success')
})
});
I’m getting an error saying Response body contains | AssertionError: object tested must be an array, a map, an object, a set, a string, or a weakset, but undefined given
What the test is doing, is running through each of the objects in the Responses array and checking the NS_Status for the value.
The problem with that approach is that NS_Status isn’t part of the first object and would be undefined, which is what the error message is telling you here.
Response body contains | AssertionError: object tested must be an array, a map, an object, a set, a string, or a weakset, but undefined given
You could use .filter() like some of the thread messages or maybe .find():
let jsonData = pm.response.json()
pm.test("Response body contains", () => {
let result = jsonData.Responses.find(a => a.NS_Status === "Success")
pm.expect(result.NS_Status).to.eql("Success")
});
I don’t have a lot of context for your specific use case so all I can offer is possible solutions, to get you closer to something that works for you.
I have a situation where I need to validate a specific error is present in the Json response.
For example, in the below Json response, I need to verify that “errorMessage” : “My Error” is present in the response.
However, it can be anywhere in the array and not in a particular index. So I just need to verify it’s present regardless of what index it is showing up at.
Without writing a complex loop, is there an easy postman feature I can use to test this? Thank You!
Something like this would give you a true/false response if the error message is part of the errors array:
console.log(pm.response.json()[0].errors.some(a => a.errorMessage === "My Error"))
That could be made into a quick test like this:
let isErrorPresent = pm.response.json()[0].errors.some(a => a.errorMessage === "My Error");
pm.test("Verify error message", () => {
pm.expect(isErrorPresent, "Error message not present in the array").to.be.true;
});
Hi @danny-dainton
I have a situation where I need to validate each object in array contains clientID irrespective of value in the Json response.
Can you please help me in writing this assertion? Thanks…!!
It is working now.
