AssertJ check if JSONArray contains a map with an entry with given key and value

Question

Hi I want to test with assertThat if a JSONArray contains an item with a key with a specific value. For example I have JSONArray:

[
  {
    "eventType": "event_1",
    "name": "user_1",
    ....
  },
  {
    "eventType": "event_2",
    "name": "user_2",
    ....
  }
]

What I want to test is if this array contains an item with the key: eventType with the value: event_2 Is it possible to achieve this with assertThat without looping through the array and checking each item?

I know it is possible to check if a map contains a given key and value and I also know it is possible to check if an array contains given item. But I didn't found any solution how to combine both things. Someone has an idea how can I combine these two things?

Thank you for your help

This is best addressed by https://github.com/lukas-krecan/JsonUnit which will give you much better JSON assertions than the generic AssertJ.

Hope it helps!

yeah this helped me. Thank you. The solution for my case was `assertThatJson(fullDataMessage).when(IGNORING_EXTRA_FIELDS).isArray().containsAnyOf("{eventType:\"event_2\"}")` – Dangari Mar 25 '20 at 07:10
