Parsing the ATF REST Query Response

[serviceall]

Hi

We Have an ATF test that invokes a REST API and get a 200 response code

As part of the   REST API response ,there is a Discovery Job ID that comes back.

How can we capture it as part of the ATF?

Response Body:

{"result":{"message":"Successfully created discovery job","job_id":"DIS0039467"}}

Appreciate your help.

Dear Minnie,

Two things

1.Create a test step

REST test step: Assert JSON Response Payload Element

2. Assert steps must immediately follow a Send REST Request - Inbound step.

3. The Step would look like below

in your case element path would be /result/job_id and value would be the value to test against.

Result :

I have a similar question related to this, 

From the Rest API response, can we use a attribute in the next step. 

Say I create a change using Rest API inbound call in ATF, I will get a change Number in the response JSON. Can I use the change number value in the next step?

None of the automated REST test steps under ATF (versions <= Newyork) provide an output referencing the API response.
I believe your best option is to submit the record that you would typically create using REST APIs using ATF UI test steps and use the sys_id from the step output to make further assertions.
