How to match specific string in ROBOT FRAMEWORK using regex? - regex

Question

I am using REST-API for testing
I am stuck where I am checking the response with some specific string.
please refer below info
I got the response from a request is
{
"clusters":[
{
"id":10,
"name":"HP2",
"status":2,
"statusDisplay":"HParihar#4info.com",
"lastModifiedBy":"HParihar#4info.com",
"lastModifiedTime":"06/08/2017 23:42",
"sitesAppsCount":0
},
{
"id":799,
"name":"Regression_cluster_111_09",
"status":2,
"statusDisplay":"admin#4info.net",
"lastModifiedBy":"admin#4info.net",
"lastModifiedTime":"07/11/2017 08:19",
"sitesAppsCount":0
}
]}
and I wanted to match just
"name":"Regression_cluster_111_09",
"status":2,
"statusDisplay":"admin#4info.net",
"sitesAppsCount":0
right side values I'll be keeping as hard coded.
any guesses?

Answer 1

Since you are only checking those 4 parameters are in response or not.
Do no use regex for this.
Use jsonObject's find key/value feature.
Check whether the values to the keys are there.
If key/value is null, the parameter is not in response.

Answer 2

I got my answer
I used the following regex
"name":"Regression_cluster_111_09","status":2,"statusDisplay":"admin#4info.net","lastModifiedBy":"[a-z]+#[0-9a-z]+\.[a-z]+","lastModifiedTime":"[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{2}\/[0-9]{4}\ [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}","sitesAppsCount":0
or I can simply use
"name":"Regression_cluster_111_09","status":2,"statusDisplay":"admin#4info.net",.+"sitesAppsCount":0
thank you all
