JSON Path integration #85

Closed jstoup111 closed 7 years ago

jstoup111 commented 9 years ago

I'd really like the see a JSON Path integration. https://github.com/joshbuddy/jsonpath It seems awkward to me that a user would have to explicitly set their path to find data in the JSON string. Specifically, I'd like the run a test that that looks like something like this in cucumber

  Scenario: List events in JSON
    Given I oauth as the user "user1@test.com" with the password "password"
    When I GET to "v1/foos"
    Then the response status should be "200"
    And the JSON at "$..bar_type" should include ["baz", "biz"]

While I could explicitly write the code to test this for every property, it get's a little tedious after writing out every property and JSONPath provides a pretty slick powerful way to navigate the JSON to retrieve the data.

Thanks for mentioning jsonpath here. I'm using to great effect now in my specs.
