Type checks should use JSON instead of JVM types #56

Open jromero opened 7 years ago

jromero commented 7 years ago

It seems to me like the following step should take the basic javascript/json data types and not the JVM datatypes. From an outside (business or engineer) when writing test steps you might want to check whether a value is a "number" but according to JSON there is no differentiation based on length instead it's simply a "number" type.

Current:

And response contains property "timeMs" of type "bigdecimal"

Proposal:

And response contains property "timeMs" of type "number"

Full list of accepted types based on http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_datatypes.asp :

Hi, thanks for mentioning. We had that at early stages, then somehow switched to JVM types, because of some issues. I'll recheck this and come back with status update
