how to check if string exist in list of strings in Gatling Scala

How to check if ponkipong is present in activeids using [Gatling] check - [Scala] ?

{
  "activeids": [
    "ironblossom",
    "draw_on",
    "ponkipong",
    "summer22",
    "morphimagus"
  ]
}

Have tried .check(jmesPath("activeids[?contains(@, 'ponkipong') == `true`]").transform(_.length >= 1).is(true)) but doesn't work.

Also not sure how to do this using jsonPath.

Though, Kind of a workaround I am currently using is this.

.check(bodyString.saveAs("response_data"))
.check(
  checkIf((response: Response, session: Session) => {
    val dde = "ponkipong"
    val is_dde_active_not_present = if ((Json.parse(session("response_data").as[String].stripMargin) \ "activeids").as[Seq[String]].indexOf(dde) >= 0) false else true
    is_dde_active_not_present
  }) {
    // this check is to make forceful fail if checkIf fails
    jsonPath("$.activeids[*]").count.is(-1)
  }
)

But, doesn’t look like a solution.

Need help to do it in a proper way.

Solution

  • Nowadays, I tend to use JMESPath whenever possible, as explained here.

    In Scala:

    jmesPath("contains(activeids, 'ponkipong')").ofType[Boolean].is(true)

    In Java (recommended since Gatling 3.7):

    jmesPath("contains(activeids, 'ponkipong')").ofBoolean().is(true)
