Response assertion for the current date

Question

I have the following response: -rw-r----- 1 www-data www-data 38269320 May 12 03:13 17003156.xml

And I want to create the response assertion that will check that there is current month and current date in the response (May 12). If I am using ${__time(MMM d,)} function for that, I am getting the following assertion error:

Assertion failure message: Test failed: text expected to contain /maijs 12

How is possible to set names of the months in English (like May) ?

If I am using ${__time(MMM d,)} function for that, I am getting name of the month in custom language.

Answer 1

__time() function will return month name in your current locale.

The options are in:

• Amend user.language and user.country and user.variant system properties to the locale used by the system under test

• or switch to __groovy() function where you can specify which Locale to use for returning the month name:

  ${__groovy(java.time.ZonedDateTime.now().getMonth().getDisplayName(java.time.format.TextStyle.FULL\,Locale.ENGLISH),)}
