Hi Guys

Would you please help me, I’m trying to follow the course training of chaining API Request JSON and JSON Groovy, but I’ve got some error message as below

I was follow all the step from that course, including the uncheck on tab validation, but still can not be pass

Thanks & Regards

You might have a spelling mistake. Do you have anything in the code that has an underline to it? Can we see the code you have?

Hi

Here is the verification code from Object Repository REST API for “Update User” based on Module Chaining API Request for a JSON response


import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.*

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.RequestObject

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ResponseObject

import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS

import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.verification.WSResponseManager

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable

RequestObject request = WSResponseManager.getInstance().getCurrentRequest()

ResponseObject response = WSResponseManager.getInstance().getCurrentResponse()

assertThat(response.getStatusCode()).isEqualTo(200)

assertThat(response.getStatusCode()).isIn(Array.asList(200,201,202))

WS.VerifyElementPropertyValue(response, 'name',"George")

And variable as image below :

WS.verifyElementPropertyValue(response, 'data[4].first_name', "George")

GlobalVariable.FIRST_NAME = WS.getElementPropertyValue(response,'data[4].first_name')

println 'Global Variable First_Name is : '+GlobalVariable.FIRST_NAME

Many thanks for your help

Did you create a “null” variable or did KS? Can you try and create another variable that is not a reserved word, like “null”, and see what happens?

Hi Mike

No I didn’t add the script with the null one, but after I add the variable name as a null, still got an error message
