Karate API Testing - Sorting Validation Scenario

Question

I have a request which produces below response:

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


        

Answer 1

I found the solution by this way:

1. Store the JSONArray values with the help of jsonpath:

   And def temp = $ListDataSet_Response.rowData[*].3

2. Call the sort functions directly in the feature file itself.

These lines added in feature file Background:

* def ArrayList = Java.type('java.util.ArrayList')
* def Collections = Java.type('java.util.Collections')

Added these line for Sorting in Ascending order:Created list and added values to this temp variable(stored response) into that list.Later,Applied sorting over that list.

And def listAsAscending = new ArrayList()
* eval for(var i = 0; i < sometextid.length; i++) listAsAscending.add(sometextid[i])
* eval Collections.sort(listAsAscending, java.lang.String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER)
* print listAsAscending

Similarly for Descending order:

And def listAsDescending = new ArrayList()
* eval for(var i = 0; i < sometextid.length; i++) listAsDescending.add(sometextid[i])
* eval Collections.sort(listAsDescending, Collections.reverseOrder())
* print listAsDescending

To compare the list, with my sort API response later:

* match sortedTemp == listAsAscending
* match sortedTemp == listAsDescending
