Asserting an exception in ZeroCode for Kafka ACL testing

I am trying to test a kafka reader writer scenario where the user has permission to write to the topic, but does not have permission to read from that topic.

The java code looks like this :

@TargetEnv("kafka_servers/kafka_test_server.properties")
@RunWith(ZeroCodeUnitRunner.class)
public class KafkaConsumeJsonTest {

@Test
@Scenario('path/to/writer-can-write-but-cannot-read.json')
public void test writerWritesButCantRead(){}

}

The corresponding JSON looks like this :

{
  "scenarioName": "Writer can write to a topic but cannot read from it",
  "steps": [{
      "name": "write to test topic",
      "url": "kafka-topic:test-topic",
      "operation": "produce",
      "request": {
        "records": [{
          "key": "101",
          "value": "Hello World"
        }]
      },
      "assertions": {
        "status": "Ok",
        "recordMetadata": "$NOT.NULL"
      }
    },

    {
      "name": "onload_kafka",
      "url": "kafka-topic:test-topic",
      "operation": "unload",
      "request": {
        "consumerLocalConfigs": {
         "recordType": "JSON", 
         "maxNoOfRetryPollsOrTimeouts": 3
        }
      },
      "assertions": {
        "status": "Failed",
        "message": "Caused by: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.GroupAuthorizationException: Not authorized to access group: my-group"
      }
    }
  ]
}

When I run the test I encounter :

java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.GroupAuthorizationException: Not authorized to access group: my-group.

This is a valid exception and I would to assert that in my test code to prove that the user cannot read from the topic with my-group as gorup-id. How do I assert this in the test case or in the scenario JSON?

@arpan57 Yeah example was with test suite but you can change to your needs quick easily. Glad it was helpful. Btw, you can join our Slack for more discussion etc.
