Got error Integer cannot be cast to java.lang.String when trying to get autogenerated id from POST request

See original GitHub issue

I am doing automation of REST API using ZeroCode. Created employee using POST request successfully.

In response I have received:

Sceanrio :1 (for “name”: “POST_create_employee”,)

Response:
{
  "status" : 200,
  "headers" : {
    "Date" : [ "Fri, 23 Aug 2019 08:12:06 GMT" ],
    "Expires" : [ "0" ],
    "Transfer-Encoding" : [ "chunked" ],
    "X-XSS-Protection" : [ "1; mode=block" ],
    "X-Content-Type-Options" : [ "nosniff" ],
    "X-Frame-Options" : [ "SAMEORIGIN" ],
    "Content-Type" : [ "application/json;charset=UTF-8" ],
    "Cache-Control" : [ "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0" ]
  },
  "body" : {
    "httpStatusCode" : null,
    "responseCode" : 0,
    "responseMessege" : null,
    "id" : 123,
    "employeeName" : "pTdRexrIij 1566557405261",
    "pingBackTime" : 1
  }
}

Now, I have to update the created Employee. So I need to send employee id and employee name in PUT request.

{
	"name": "PUT_update_employee",
	"url": "/employee",
	"operation": "PUT",
	"request": {
		"headers": {
			"Authorization": "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIn",
			"userName": "milindwarade"
		},
		"body": {
			"id":  "${$.POST_create_employee.response.body.id}",
			"employeeName": "${$.POST_create_employee.response.body.employeeName}"
		}
	},
	"assertions": {
		"status": 200,
		"headers": {
			"Date": [
				"$NOT.NULL"
			],
			"Transfer-Encoding": [
				"chunked"
			],
			"Content-Type": [
				"application/json;charset=UTF-8"
			]
		},
		"body": {
			"httpStatusCode": "OK",
			"id": "${$.PUT_update_employee.request.body.id}",
			"employeeName": "${$.PUT_update_employee.request.body.employeeName}"
		}
	}
}

After execution, got an error as -

java.lang.RuntimeException: 
JSON:{"headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIn","userName": "milindwarade"},"body": {"id":  "${$.POST_create_employee.response.body.id}","employeeName": "${$.POST_create_employee.response.body.employeeName}"}}
Possibly comments in the JSON found or bad JSON path found: $.POST_create_employee.response.body.id,

	at org.jsmart.zerocode.core.engine.preprocessor.ZeroCodeAssertionsProcessorImpl.resolveStringJson(ZeroCodeAssertionsProcessorImpl.java:87)

Can someone please help to solve/tell me solution for this issue?? Here, id is required to update the employee.

Scenario :2 I have tried with this also (removed <body> from “id”: and “employeeName”: -

{
	"name": "PUT_update_employee",
	"url": "/employee",
	"operation": "PUT",
	"request": {
		"headers": {
			"Authorization": "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIn",
			"userName": "milindwarade"
		},
		"body": {
			"id":  "${$.POST_create_employee.response.id}",
			"employeeName": "${$.POST_create_employee.response.employeeName}"
		}
	},
	"assertions": {
		"status": 200,
		"headers": {
			"Date": [
				"$NOT.NULL"
			],
			"Transfer-Encoding": [
				"chunked"
			],
			"Content-Type": [
				"application/json;charset=UTF-8"
			]
		},
		"body": {
			"httpStatusCode": "OK",
			"id": "${$.PUT_update_employee.request.id}",
			"employeeName": "${$.PUT_update_employee.request.employeeName}"
		}
	}
}

but then also facing error as -

Possibly comments in the JSON found or bad JSON path found: $.POST_create_employee.response.id,
Details: com.jayway.jsonpath.PathNotFoundException: No results for path: $['POST_create_employee']['response']['id']
	at org.jsmart.zerocode.core.engine.preprocessor.ZeroCodeAssertionsProcessorImpl.lambda$1(ZeroCodeAssertionsProcessorImpl.java:150)

	at org.jsmart.zerocode.core.engine.preprocessor.ZeroCodeAssertionsProcessorImpl.resolveStringJson(ZeroCodeAssertionsProcessorImpl.java:87)

Please do needful help. Thanks a lot.
