Ignore fields to map in response from controller in Contract Tests

508 views Asked by At

As I'm only interested in checking some of the values from the response for my Contract Test, I want to leave out those fields that are not important to me. Thing is that when I run the test, generated test file checks if body defined in the test.groovy file is identical to the one generated from controller. So, my question is if there's a way to just assert those values that I'm interested in.

test.groovy

Contract.make {
    request {
        method 'GET'
        urlPath('/api/node') {
            queryParameters {
                parameter('number', '123')
                parameter('size', '1')
                parameter('status', 'ACTIVE')
            }
        }
        headers {
            header("key", "someKey")
        }
    }
    response {
        status 200
        headers {
            contentType applicationJson()
        }
        body("""
  "content":[
     {
        "id": "123456",
        "status":"ACTIVE",
        "details":[
           {
              "object":{
                 "id":"ccId",
                 "codeOne":"1",
                 "codeTwo":"2",
                 "codeThree":"3",
                 "_links":{
                    "self":{
                       "href":"https://url.com"                        
                    },
                    "style":{
                       "href":"https://universal-url.com"

                    },
                    "universalStyle":{
                       "href":"https://universal-style-v1-url.com"                      
                    }                  
                 }              
              }
              "code":null              
           }            
        ]

This is the error I'm getting

org.junit.ComparisonFailure: expected:<"[content]"> but was:
<"[{"links":[
{"rel":"first","href":"http://localhost/api/node?number=123&status=ACTIVE&page=0&size=1"},
{"rel":"prev","href":"http://localhost/api/node?number=123&status=ACTIVE&page=0&size=1"},
{"rel":"self","href":"http://localhost/api/node?number=123&size=1&status=ACTIVE"},
{"rel":"last","href":"http://localhost/api/node?number=123&status=ACTIVE&page=1&size=1"}],
"content":[{"id":"123456",...

In this case, I don't want to verify any related to "links" array. Is there any configuration I can use in order to bypass it?

Just don't put them in the response and they won't get generated.
