We can transform the response to Java list in Rest Assured. This can be achieved when we have a JSON array Response. To convert the JSON array to List, we need to use the method as.(List.class).Once the JSON array Response is converted to a List, we need to convert it to a Map and get all values in the Response in a key-value pair. We shall first send a GET request via Postman on a mock API URL and go through the JSON Response array.ExampleCode Implementationimport java.util.List; import org.testng.annotations.Test; import io.restassured.RestAssured; public class NewTest {    @Test    public void ...

We can get the size of a JSON array response in Rest Assured. First, we shall obtain a Response body which is in JSON format from a request. Then convert it to string. Finally, obtain its length with the size method. Code Implementationimport static io.restassured.RestAssured.given; import org.testng.annotations.Test; import io.restassured.RestAssured; import io.restassured.path.json.JsonPath; import io.restassured.response.Response; public class NewTest {    @Test    public void jsonAryLen() {       //obtain Response from GET request       Response res = given()       .when()       .get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts");       //convert JSON to string       JsonPath ...

We can add Cucumber Maven dependencies to a project. This can be done by following the below steps −Step1− Create a Maven project. The details on how to create a Maven project is discussed in detail in the below link −https://www.tutorialspoint.com/maven/index.htmStep2− Add the following dependencies in the pom.xml file in a project for Cucumber.Cucumber JVM - Java dependencyhttps://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.cucumber/cucumber-javaCucumber JVM - JUnit dependencyhttps://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.cucumber/cucumber-junitStep3− Click on the Project menu, then select the option Build Automatically.Step4− Click on the Maven Dependencies folder within the project. All the Cucumber-related dependencies which we have obtained via Maven should be visible.Read More

We can get a value from a nested list in Rest Assured. This is done with the help of the extract method. To grab the item, we have to use the path method(after the extract method) and pass the item in the response we want to obtain.We shall first send a GET request via Postman on a mock API URL and go through its Response having a nested list.ExampleCode Implementationimport org.testng.annotations.Test; import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given; import java.util.ArrayList; import io.restassured.RestAssured; import io.restassured.http.ContentType; public class NewTest {    @Test    public void getRequest() {       //base URL       ...

We can use JsonPath in Rest Assured to extract value. This is done with the help of the jsonPath method (which is a part of the JsonPath class). After that, we need to use the get method and pass the key that we want to obtain from the JSON Response.We shall first send a GET request via Postman on an endpoint and observe the JSON response. Here, the keys are userId, id, title, and body.ExampleCode Implementationimport org.testng.annotations.Test; import static io.restassured.RestAssured.*; import io.restassured.RestAssured; import io.restassured.http.ContentType; import io.restassured.path.json.JsonPath; import io.restassured.response.Response; public class NewTest {    @Test    void getValueJsonPath() {   ...

We can use the then method in Rest Assured. It is mainly used to validate a Response obtained from a request. Thus, most assertions are included within a then method.SyntaxRestAssured.baseURI = "http://dummy.restapiexample.com"; //GET operation with then methods given() .when().get("/api/v1/employees").then() //verify status code as 404 .assertThat().statusCode(404);ExampleCode Implementationimport org.testng.annotations.Test; import static io.restassured.RestAssured.*; import io.restassured.RestAssured; public class NewTest {    @Test    void test() {       //base URL       RestAssured.baseURI =       "http://dummy.restapiexample.com";       //input details for GET request       given()       .when().get("/api/v1/employee/1")       ...
