Rest Assured access last element in list using JsonPath

Question

I want to use RestAssured to test an endpoint that returns a JSON list of objects. How can I verify the contents of the last object in the list using RestAssured JsonPath?

Example return value:

[
 {
    "foo": "bar"
 },
 {
    "foo": "brazz"
 } 
]

I tried using negative indices: body("[-1].foo", equalTo("brazz")) but that does not work, as Rest assured considers "[-1].foo" to be an empty list.

How can I access the last element of a list with JsonPath Syntax?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use last() to get the last item.

body("last().foo", equalTo("brazz"))
