Karate API Testing - Sorting Validation Scenario

Question

I have a request which produces below response:

{
\"totalRows\": 10,
\"colDefs\": [
    {
        \"entityAttributeId\": \"somestring\",
        \"headerName         


        

Answer 1

Please refer to this example that even involves a case-insensitive sort. It is easy to dive into Java from Karate, especially for a complex use-case like this:

Scenario: case-insensitive sort
    * def ArrayList = Java.type('java.util.ArrayList')
    * def Collections = Java.type('java.util.Collections')

    * def json = [{ v: 'C' }, { v: 'b' }, { v: 'A' }]
    * def actual = $json[*].v
    * match actual == ['C', 'b', 'A']
    * def list = new ArrayList()
    * eval for (var i = 0; i < actual.length; i++) list.add(actual[i])
    * match list == ['C', 'b', 'A']
    * eval Collections.sort(list, java.lang.String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER)
    * match list == ['A', 'b', 'C']

Since your example is too complex, I can't provide a specific answer, kindly refer: https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve

For a cleaner way to express the above code, refer the actual example, where you can move some of the code into JS: https://github.com/intuit/karate/blob/master/karate-junit4/src/test/java/com/intuit/karate/junit4/demos/sort-array.feature
