SoapUI JSONPath Match assertion: How to reference a parameter of the REST request

I'm trying to write a JSONPath Match assertion for a test step in a test case in my REST project. This test step is a REST request. The response is a JSON string. Referencing the response's nodes is not a problem (in this instance I use '$..startDate').

However, for the "Expected Result" portion of this assertion, I need to reference one of the parameters of my request. This parameter is called 'date', and in the assertion I want to check if the 'startDate' node of my Json response matches 'date'.

I would have thought that something like ${#TestCase#["Start Date GET Request"]#Request#date} would work, but it doesn't. When I test the assertion I'm told that the result for it is empty (i.e. "[]")

I tried several variations of the above.

${#Project#TestSuite#TestCase#["Start Date GET Request"]#Request#date}

${#["Start Date GET Request"]#Request#date}

${#["Start Date GET Request"]#date}

The result is always the same.

Any advice on how I can fix this?

The notation for expected result using JSONPath must be:

${RESTRequestName#Response#$.json.path.to.date}

Use the exactly name of your testStep (without # this is used for #TestCase, #TestSuite when you want to refer a property at this level, but not for properties at testStep level.

To work with the response passing a JSONPath use the $. to start your path.

EDIT

I misunderstand your question, if you simply want the query parameter date use the follow notation:

${RESTRequestName#date}

As explained above, use the testStep name without # and then since SOAPUI adds all query parameters as properties of the testStep you can access directly using it's name like you can do with Request,Response, and so on.

Hope this helps,
