Passing a json node (rather than the node's value) to a Property

Hi,   I need to grab a node name rather than the value from a .json request and pass it onto a subsequent .json request's body.     I have 2 api's I need to test.  1 is a POST followed by a GET....

    richie, here is one more method to execute a REST step for multiple UIDs. In this example I have used your response with 3 different UIDs.

     

    I saved below response in a text file and reading it from there.

    {
       "$id" : "1",
       "1826d9a8-f542-e811-8120-5065f38b0571" : {
          "$id" : "2",
          "StatusCode" : 0,
          "Outcome" : "NewCall"
       },
       "beb19fbb-f542-e811-8120-5065f38b0571" : {
          "$id" : "3",
          "StatusCode" : 0,
          "Outcome" : "NewCall"
       },
       "ffe022cc-f542-e811-8120-5065f38b0571" : {
          "$id" : "4",
          "StatusCode" : 0,
          "Outcome" : "NewCall"
       }
    }

    groovy script to  extract GUIDs and iterate through them and execute RestTestStep for each GUID.

     

    import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
    
    def response = new File("c://users//XXXX//desktop//response.txt").text
    def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText response 
    
    def i = 0
    def UID = []
    
    json.each{
    	     if(it.key !='$id'){
                                  UID += it.key	                      
    	     }
    	     i++
       
    }
    
    
    log.info UID //## Array with 3 unique IDs ##//
    
    
    
    def j=0
    def uniqueId
    
    UID.each{
    	    //##Update TestCase Property with UID ##//
    	     uniqueId = UID[j]            
              testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("uniqueId", UID[j]) //store in a testcase property and then use this in subsequesnt RestTestStep//
              
              log.info "Executing RestStep for UID- $uniqueId"
              testRunner.runTestStepByName("YourRESTTestStep") // Execute RestStep Here //
    j++
    }
