Trying to filter json object for a single value based on the value of other key in Karate API Test Framework

I think Karate documentation is great and I have tried to read as much as possible but this one little thing is stumping me right now. I think what I am trying to do is fairly straightforward but I am failing at it miserably. I have a JSON object here based on the example in the docs but slightly modified:

  * def cat = 
            """
            [
                {
                    name: 'Billie',
                    kittens: [
                        { id: 23, nickName: 'Bob' },
                        { id: 42, nickName: 'Wild' }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    name: 'Billie2',
                    kittens: [
                        { id: 233, nickName: 'Bob2' },
                        { id: 422, nickName: 'Wild2' }
                    ]
                }
            ]
            """

All I want to find is the value of nickName when id is 233. (In this example the answer is Bob2)

I tried this: get[0] cat.kittens[?(@.id==233)] But I think I am missing something.

What is tripping me is when there are multiple name and kittens, as opposed to a single set in the example given in the documentation website. I apologize as the answer for this is pretty straightforward, but any hint in the right direction will get greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You are close. When there is an array involved, typically [*] is needed.

* def temp1 = get[0] cats[*].kittens[?(@.id==233)]
* match temp1.nickName == 'Bob2'

Note that this will also work:

* def temp2 = get[0] cats..kittens[?(@.id==233)]
* match temp2.nickName == 'Bob2'
