Assert key name in the json response using groovy

I want to assert a key in the json response.

Response

{
  "availableRooms": [
    {
      "roomId": 2,
      "exchangeEmailId": null,
      "roomName": "Room 1",
      "floor": 0,
      "groupID": 3,
      "defaultCapacity": 8,
      "maxCapacity": 8,
      "attributes": [
        {
          "attributeID": 170,
          "displayName": "Video Conference Unit",
          "abbreviation": "VCU"
        }
      ],
      "externalRoomEmail": "[email protected]"
    }
  ],
  "availableRoomsForAllDates": {},
  "callResponse": {
    "message": null,
    "customResponseCode": null
  }
}

Groovy

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def ResponseMessage = messageExchange.response.responseContent
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper().parseText(ResponseMessage)
if( jsonSlurper.containsKey( 'externalRoomEmail' ) ) 
{
    log.info 'a'
}
else
{
    log.info 'b'
}

Output

Tue Nov 24 20:24:35 IST 2020:INFO:b

Is there any inbuilt method?

If I try jsonSlurper.availableRooms.externalRoomEmail then it gives me null but testcase is passed.

I want that it should break the testcase if key not found.

<edit - just re-read your question, answer adjusted accordingly>

First of all I'm going to call your parsed json json instead of jsonSlurper as the slurper is the groovy class used to parse json and it's conceptually confusing to name the data "slurper".

So your problem is that json.availableRooms returns a list. In other words you would have to use something like:

if(json.availableRooms.first().externalRoomEmail) { 
  ...
} else {
  ...
}

to check if the first room had an externalRoomEmail defined.

From there is depends on what you want to do. Let's say that you wanted to see if any of the available rooms had an externalRoomEmail defined, you would then do something like:

def roomsWithEmails = json.availableRooms.findAll { it.externalRoomEmail }
if (roomsWithEmails) {
  roomsWithEmails.each { room ->
    println "room ${room.roomName} has external email ${room.externalRoomEmail}"
  }
} else { // no rooms with externalRoomEmail
  // do something else
}
