I’m looking for some general advice with an API framework I am setting up using C# and RestSharp as the client library. I’ve successfully set up an initial test, but I’m now looking at creating a series of assertions to ensure that certain values are returned in the response My test looks as below: …

[image] tilston1001: circuitName Morning Andrew, If you add a reference in to your test project for ‘Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;’ then the below snippet I’ve tested and would allow you to extract out values from your response. var returnedJson = "{ \"season\": \"2016\", \r\n\"Circ…

This is brilliant thanks Viv! The slight issue I have is that the returnedJson variable is pretty big as there are 21 different circuits being returned in the response. Would there be an alternative way that I could return the data?

Do you need to check each circuit? Depending on what you want to check you could… Count on the number of circuits returned to see if that matches the expected number? Get Circuits[0], Circuits[1], Circuits[2] etc but there would be lots of checks?

just managed to figure it out as you replied to me, thanks Viv! In reality, I’ll only be asserting against a small amount of data coming back so have come up with a solution. In general, for API testing I’m struggling to figure out what assertions need to be done? Are there certain assertions that …

Hello Andrew, in our project, we use RestSharp for API testing. Our approach is to specify the type of returned response for the service, it allows to get the class or collection of known type instead of dynamic. Then we just generate the expected outcome object in test and compare it to the objec…
