Arrays with plain integers

[Felix-Dyck]

(android, kotlin and library: au.com.dius.pact" version "4.3.10")

Hello,
I have certain type of json format I want to verify:

[...]
"months": [
        4,
        5,
        6,
        7,
        8
    ],
[...]

The array can be of any size and I want to verify that any value inside is of type Integer.
So I started with something like:

this.newArray("months") {
    this.integerType(4)
    this.integerType(5)
    this.integerType(6)
    this.integerType(7)
    this.integerType(8)
  }

While the generated array looks correct, the matching rules look like this:

"[...].months[0]": {
              "combine": "AND",
              "matchers": [
                {
                  "match": "integer"
                }
              ]
            },
            "[...].months[1]": {
              "combine": "AND",
              "matchers": [
                {
                  "match": "integer"
                }
              ]
            },
            "[...].months[2]": {
              "combine": "AND",
              "matchers": [
                {
                  "match": "integer"
                }
              ]
            },
            "[...].months[3]": {
              "combine": "AND",
              "matchers": [
                {
                  "match": "integer"
                }
              ]
            },
            "[...].months[4]": {
              "combine": "AND",
              "matchers": [
                {
                  "match": "integer"
                }
              ]
            },

So every entry that I have given is expected and is matched by their value. When I have a longer actual array than, my verification will fail. When my values change, my verification will fail.

I have also seen eachLike and minArrayLike which solve some of the issues. But then there are other issues:

this.minArrayLike("months", 1) { arr ->
                                    arr.integerType(4)
                                    arr.integerType(5)
                                    arr.integerType(6)
                                    arr.integerType(7)
                                    arr.integerType(8)
                                }

-> then integerType needs a field "names". But I don't want these integers to have key.
Anyways, there is also arr.integerType() which doesn't take a parameter. But still, when the array will be generated, it will look like this:

"months": [
    {

    }
  ],

-> an object is expected. That why the verification will fail when actually receiving integers.

Same goes for eachLike. Here are also objects expected.

Thanks for reading.

Use minArrayLike("months", 1, PactDslJsonRootValue.integerType(10)) - replace 10 with whatever example value you want in your tests.

[Felix-Dyck]

minArrayLike("months", 1, PactDslJsonRootValue.integerType(10))

Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work:
"Type mismatch: inferred type is PactDslJsonRootValue but Consumer<LambdaDslObject!>! was expected"
is what I get.

You need to use it on the outer object, not the inner one.

Oh, sorry, for minArrayLike it is minArrayLike(String name, Integer size, PactDslJsonRootValue value, int numberExamples) so
minArrayLike("months", 1, PactDslJsonRootValue.integerType(10), 1)
