******** Is this keyword really working: WS.verifyElementsCount ********* please confirm :persevere:

I am using Katalon v6.1.6 Window 10 64 bit

I am testing a Rest API, and when verify the count, I am the below error:

WS.verifyElementsCount(response, ‘total_pages’, 1)

Reason:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to verify element count (Root cause: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.lang.Integer.size() is applicable for argument types: () values:
Possible solutions: is(java.lang.Object), find(), with(groovy.lang.Closure), div(java.lang.Character), times(groovy.lang.Closure), div(java.lang.Number)

Below is my code

// https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2
def response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(‘RP/UserRestService/ListUser’))
WS.verifyElementPropertyValue(response, ‘page’, 2)
WS.verifyElementsCount(response, ‘total_pages’, 1)

Thanks for looking into this :slight_smile:

You can read the source code of WS.verifyElementsCount() at

By looking at the source, you would understand why the Exception (groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.lang.Integer.size() is applicable for argument types: () values: [] ) occurs.

Well, I do not know. I do not see how this keyword SHOULD work as no specification is published.

Just I guess that your code WS.verifyElementsCount(response, ‘total_pages’, 1) is not what the designer intended to implement.

What did the designer intended? You would get a feel trying the following code:

def response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('reqres.in'))
println "${response}"
WS.verifyElementPropertyValue(response, 'page', 2)
//WS.verifyElementsCount(response, 'total_pages', 1)    // this is a miss-use
WS.verifyElementPropertyValue(response, 'total_pages', 4)
WS.verifyElementsCount(response, 'data', 3)   // size() works
WS.verifyElementsCount(response, 'data.id', 3)   // also size() works

Just wanted to know… how to check “total pages” in above example.

Firstly… I sincerely thanks for all your effort. I highly appreciate it.

How to verify total pages.

I have the below response in one of my test, so how do I validate that no of id’s is 3 …?

[
{
“id”: 1,
“code”: “22G0”,
“name”: “20’ DC”,
“isReefer”: true
},
{
“id”: 2,
“code”: “22G1”,
“name”: “20’ DC (Pas. Vents)”,
“isReefer”: false
},
{
“id”: 4,
“code”: “22P3”,
“name”: “20’ Flat (Collapsible)”,
“isReefer”: false
}

]

Your target URL is https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2 . It returned the following JSON.

{
  "page": 2,
  "per_page": 3,
  "total": 12,
  "total_pages": 4,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 4,
      "email": "eve.holt@reqres.in",
      "first_name": "Eve",
      "last_name": "Holt",
      "avatar": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/uifaces/faces/twitter/marcoramires/128.jpg"
    },
    {
      "id": 5,
      "email": "charles.morris@reqres.in",
      "first_name": "Charles",
      "last_name": "Morris",
      "avatar": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/uifaces/faces/twitter/stephenmoon/128.jpg"
    },
    {
      "id": 6,
      "email": "tracey.ramos@reqres.in",
      "first_name": "Tracey",
      "last_name": "Ramos",
      "avatar": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/uifaces/faces/twitter/bigmancho/128.jpg"
    }
  ]
}

And @focis.automation’s question is

My answer is

WS.verifyElementsCount(response, 'data', 3)

or

WS.verifyElementsCount(response, 'data.id', 3)

@discover.selenium asked

My answer is

WS.verifyElementPropertyValue(response, 'total_pages', 4)

How to check if ‘total_pages’ count is one.

In the below response how to check the count of ‘id’s’

[
{
“id”: 1,
“code”: “22G0”,
“name”: “20’ DC”,
“isReefer”: true
},
{
“id”: 2,
“code”: “22G1”,
“name”: “20’ DC (Pas. Vents)”,
“isReefer”: false
},
{
“id”: 4,
“code”: “22P3”,
“name”: “20’ Flat (Collapsible)”,
“isReefer”: false
}

]

Please try this

WS.verifyElementsCount(response, '', 3)

This code verifies the number of json objects contained in the root array; which is 3.

This code does not verifies the number of id profiles (which is 3) contained in the json objects contained in the root array.

I say so because I tried the follwing code and it worked.

import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.helper.WebServiceCommonHelper

def jsonText = '''
[
	{
		"id": 1,
		"code": "22G0",
		"name": "20’ DC",
		"isReefer": true
	},
	{
		"id": 2,
		"code": "22G1",
		"name": "20’ DC (Pas. Vents)",
		"isReefer": false
	},
	{
		"id": 4,
		"code": "22P3",
		"name": "20’ Flat (Collapsible)",
		"isReefer": false
	}
	
]
'''
String locator = ''
String groovyFunction = 'size()'

Object ret = WebServiceCommonHelper.parseAndExecuteExpressionForJson(locator, "size()", jsonText)

println "ret=${ret}"

The following code shows how to verify the size of array elements with id property is 3.

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def jsonText = '''
[
	{
		"id": 1,
		"code": "22G0",
		"name": "20’ DC",
		"isReefer": true
	},
	{
		"id": 2,
		"code": "22G1",
		"name": "20’ DC (Pas. Vents)",
		"isReefer": false
	},
	{
		"id": 4,
		"code": "22P3",
		"name": "20’ Flat (Collapsible)",
		"isReefer": false
	}
	
]
'''
def root = new JsonSlurper().parseText(jsonText)
assert root.findAll({ it.id }).size() == 3
