To assert that the array in the response body DOES NOT contain a string value in all its elements

Ask the Experts and Postman Tips

Hi all,
I’m new to writing Postman tests, so I need some help.
I want to add an assertion to confirm that a string value IS NOT present in all the elements in an array.

In the example below, I have an array of 10 elements, I want to check that the “type” value is not equal to “SERVICE”.

I have tried this

let response = pm.response.json();
pm.test('Type is not equal to SERVICE', () => {
    _.each(jsonData.data, (item) => {
        pm.expect(item.type).to.not.include('SERVICE')
    })
})

But I got this error: ReferenceError: jsonData is not defined

Please help.

The error is correct.

let response = pm.response.json();

So it should be (response.data), not (jsonData.data).

If you just want to check that “SERVICE” does not exist. As data is an array, you could just do a search (JavaScript find).

Something like.

response = pm.response.json()

pm.test('Type is not equal to SERVICE', () => {
    let search = (response.data.find(obj => {return obj.type === 'SERVICE'}));
    pm.expect(search).to.eql(undefined);
})
