大 Json 在 cypress 中解析，jsonPath 用法

Question

I'm new to cypress and I face a problem when trying to work with json responses. I am getting json with units structure(tree structure) and I need to get all the names from it.

I tried to use jsonpath dependenc and parse json using jp.query, but it doesn't works:

 cy.request(*some request*).its('body').then((body) => {
                let units = jp.query(body, "$..[?(@.type=='PROJECT')].name");
           })

I'm getting obj needs to be an object Assertion error here

How to fix this or maybe there are any other ways to parse json in cypress?

JSON Sample:

[
{
    "id": 2,
    "name": "Solar",
    "children": [
        {
            "id": 3,
            "name": "Earth",
            "children": [

Answer 1

add below 2 lines before jp.query()

body = JSON.stringify(body);
body = JSON.parse(body);

Answer 2

Depending on how the request/response is configured, you may have one of the following issues

• response is a string
• body is a string
• there is no body

cy.request(*some request*)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .its('body')
  .then(body => {
    let units = jp.query(body, "$..[?(@.type=='PROJECT')].name");
  })

or

cy.request(*some request*)
  .its('body')
  .then(body => body.json())
  .then(body => {
    let units = jp.query(body, "$..[?(@.type=='PROJECT')].name");
  })

or

cy.request(*some request*)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(jsonObj => {
    let units = jp.query(jsonObj, "$..[?(@.type=='PROJECT')].name");
  })
