I am storing my expected json string in the json file under resources as shown below. The json string consists of regular expression. I am using JSONAssert Library to compare two json strings.
{
"timestamp": "^\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}T\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}.\\d{3}+\\d{4}$",
"status": 415,
"error": "Unsupported Media Type",
"message": "Content type 'text/plain;charset=ISO-8859-1' not supported",
"path": "/service/addUser"
}
My actual response consists of timestamp in this format 2018-11-13T04:10:11.233+0000
JSONAssert.assertEquals(getJsonBody(expected), response.asString(),false);
Is always giving the below error on the regular expression
java.lang.AssertionError: timestamp
Expected: ^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d{3}+\d{4}$
got: 2018-11-13T04:12:55.923+0000
Any recommendation on this error?
You are comparing the pattern with the timestamp string. What you actually need to do is check if the timestamp matches the pattern.
Try this code:-
String expected = "{\n" +
" \"timestamp\": \"^\\\\d{4}-\\\\d{2}-\\\\d{2}T\\\\d{2}:\\\\d{2}:\\\\d{2}\\\\.\\\\d{3}\\\\+\\\\d{4}$\",\n" +
" \"status\": 415,\n" +
" \"error\": \"Unsupported Media Type\",\n" +
" \"message\": \"Content type 'text/plain;charset=ISO-8859-1' not supported\",\n" +
" \"path\": \"/service/addUser\"\n" +
"}";
String actual = "{\n" +
" \"timestamp\": \"2018-11-13T04:12:55.923+0000\",\n" +
" \"status\": 415,\n" +
" \"error\": \"Unsupported Media Type\",\n" +
" \"message\": \"Content type 'text/plain;charset=ISO-8859-1' not supported\",\n" +
" \"path\": \"/service/addUser\"\n" +
"}";
JSONAssert.assertEquals(
expected,
actual,
new CustomComparator(
JSONCompareMode.LENIENT,
new Customization("***", new RegularExpressionValueMatcher<>())
)
);
So with your code, it will look something like:-
JSONAssert.assertEquals(
getJsonBody(expected),
response.asString(),
new CustomComparator(
JSONCompareMode.LENIENT,
new Customization("***", new RegularExpressionValueMatcher<>())
)
);
