Verify content in the response

[automationtester2496 (John)]

Question:
I am trying to verify the first name is equal what is expected.

I have tried:
pm.test(“Person is CHAXXXXX”, () => {

const responseJson = pm.response.json();

pm.expect(responseJson.validAccounts[0].firstName).to.eql(‘CHAXXXXX’);

});

Result - Person is CHAXXXXX | TypeError: Cannot read property ‘0’ of undefined

This is the response body

{
“sytemResponse”: {
“responseCode”: 200,
“responseDescription”: “OK”
},
“response”: {
“validAccounts”: [
{
“firstName”: “CHAXXXXX”,
“accountNumber”: “123”
},
{
“firstName”: “CHAXXXXX”,
“accountNumber”: “456”
}
],
“validationResult”: {
“isValid”: true,
“resultCount”: 2,
“validationResultDescription”: “Success”
}
}
}

Hi @automationtester2496

On first glance I think your assertion should be;

pm.expect(responseJson.response.validAccounts[0].firstName).to.eql(‘CHAXXXXX’);

responseJson is holding the entire response, but there is a ‘response’ object inside the JSON response (hope that makes sense).

@w4dd325

pm.expect(responseJson.response.validAccounts[0].firstName).to.eql(‘CHAXXXXX’);

Thank you very much that is the solution.

@w4dd325 is there anyway to loop through the objects in the response body, to solve the following issue?

Running a collection with a Json file

I am trying to pass data from a JSON file, which has two data objects. In the test script in postman I select them through index positions. But when I run the tests through the runner I see the first iteration passes but in the output it would run the second index data which would show as failed. Is there anyway in the test output to not show the second tests under the first iteration results? This is the actual response from the API [actualBodyResponse] This is the json file I upload to the…
