How to put wait with a specific conditions while implementing get request in rest-assured

Question

Once I send GET request , I am able to get 200 OK. In response body, there is a key, consider that is "field_name". Currently "field_name" value is "start".After some time, value is changes to stop.

Expected O/P : want to run it till i do not get the "field_name":"stop" in response body.

Answer 1

How about using while loop, perform GET request inside, get the status and put the Thread to sleep?

String field_name = "start";
while (field_name.equals("start")) {
    try {
        Thread.sleep(500);
    } catch (InterruptedException ignore) {
    }
    Response response = when().get("my url").then().extract().response();
    field_name = response.jsonPath().getString("path.to.field_name");
}

In the above code, I assumed that field_name is start. The loop begins, we wait for 500 milliseconds and after that time, we perform GET request, extract its response and get the field_name value.

If the field_name value equals stop then the loop will no longer be executed. If the loop equals start then we wait for another 500 milliseconds, perform GET, get the status etc...

Hope it helps!
