IT39039: INTEGRATION TESTS USING MESSAGEASSEMBLY MATCHER UNABLE TO USE IGNOREPATH() METHOD TO EXCLUDE ELEMENTS FROM THE COMPARISON

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When writing integration tests using the IntegrationTest
  library, the ignorePath() filter on the MessageAssembly matcher
  allows parts of a message tree to be excluded from the
  comparison. When this method is used it is throwing a
  TestException exception and the elements are not excluded from
  the match comparison.
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 12 using the
  Integration test functionality
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When comparing the contents of a message tree using the
  message-assembly matcher the ignorePath() method should allow
  parts of the message tree to be excluded from the comparison.
  When the ignorePath method is used it is throwing a java
  TestException and the parts of the tree which should be excluded
  from the comparison are still being compared.
  

Problem conclusion

• The ignorePath() method has been corrected. and can be used with
  the following syntax
  
  assertThat(actualMessageAssembly,
  equalsMessageAssembly(expectedMessageAssembly)
          .ignorePath("/Message/XMLNSC/Data/Description", true)
          .ignorePath("/Message/Properties/Transactional", false)
  
  .ignorePath("/LocalEnvironment/Destination/HTTP/RequestIdentifie
  r", false));
