Vaue lookup tokens don't work in kakfa JSON value

[Tobolov]

Value lookup tokens such as $.stepname.querystr token don't work within a json value field of kafka a kafka record. This is the case for both the produce and consume operations.

Scenario to replicate:

---
scenarioName: Demonstrate issue 2
steps:
  - name: create_app
    url: "kafka-topic:APP"
    operation: produce
    request:
      recordType: JSON
      records:
        - key: ${RANDOM.NUMBER}
          value:
            appId: $.create_app.request.records[0].key
            userId: ${RANDOM.NUMBER}
    verify:
      status: Ok
  - name: verify_app
    url: "kafka-topic:APP"
    operation: consume
    retry:
      max: 3
      delay: 1000 #ms
    request:
      consumerLocalConfigs:
        recordType: JSON
        commitSync: true
        showRecordsConsumed: true
        maxNoOfRetryPollsOrTimeouts: 3
    verify:
      size: 1
      records:
        - key:  $.create_app.request.records[0].key
          value:
            appId:  $.create_app.request.records[0].key
            userId:  $.create_app.request.records[0].value.userId

Actual record produced to Kafka: Key: 4712019646354101240 Value:

{
    "appId": "$.create_app.request.records[0].key",
    "userId": "3430825975012614214"
}
