3 years ago I want to capture the response of the validator that whether it is validating the schema or not?
Yep, the .should('equal', null); line is asserting the response there. The response will either be a string or null. If the validation is successful then the response is null because there's no errors to report. When the validation fails, this assertion fails and the test results will explain why using the validation result in the string. Here's an example from one of my failures:
AssertionError: expected 'data.result.state should be equal to one of the allowed values' to equal null

I am trying to use your plugin in cypress for validating api response but I am unable to figure out that why it is always returning should("equal",null). I want to capture the response of the validator that whether it is validating the schema or not? Do we need anything else in this to verify the schema? Following is the sample code for your reference: it('Should return a valid payload', function () { cy.api({ url: '' + Cypress.env('baseUrlapi') + '/api/generalTest, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json;charset=UTF-8", "Origin": "" + Cypress.config().baseUrl + "" } }).then($response => { cy.task('validateJsonSchema', { data: $response.body, verbose: true, // optional, default: false // // Or you can also define the schema inline: schema: { "type": "object", "properties": { "status": { "type": "integer" }, "message": { "type": "string" }, "body": { "type": "object" } } }, }).should('equal', null); }); });
it always give null to equal and it is not validating the actual schema.
