[KAFKA]Cannot inject ZeroCode variables into Validators

Description:

This is my usecase:

Details were already provided initially. Copy pasting it again

1. Consuming from Kafka multiple messages which are from different partitions.
2. Need to validate the ID field of each message consumed. This ID is Random.Number generated in a previous test (REST POST).
3. Trying to access this ID deterministically using validators and it is not working. Below is the validator being used. While consuming we are trying to validate the ID of the message consumed.

{
  "name": "consume_from_test-topic",
      "url": "kafka-topic:test-topic",
      "operation": "consume",
      "request": {
        "consumerLocalConfigs": {
          "recordType": "JSON",
          "commitSync": false,
          "showRecordsConsumed": true,
          "maxNoOfRetryPollsOrTimeouts": 2    
        }
      },
"validators": [
			{
				"field": "$..journals[?(@.id==${$.send_valid_unique_identifiers.response.body.rawJournals.[0].id})]",
				"value": "${$.send_valid_unique_identifiers.response.body.rawJournals.[0].id}"
			}
]
}

This is my actual request and actual response

Paste a sample or example here:

Complete logs already attached, as previously requested.

This is what I want to assert or validate

Need to validate the value of ID field of each message consumed. This ID is Random.UUID Number generated in a previous test (REST POST)

Thank you, great job. Will review and merge soon.

Final bit and help needed when you get chance: Would you mind adding a basic helloword-type example for this please into the Docs?

Doc link: <will create a paste the doc page link here soon>

This will be very useful for most users.

Already did understand what is needed:

• he has a step in which he posts some data with a list to a backend rest server
• this backend application will put this received datalist as separate records on the kafka topic
• next step of the test will get the data records from the kafka topic

The assertion to check here, that the data that was put on the backend rest server, is the same as received from the kafka topic. That is why it was tried to match the outcome of the kafka topic with the request to the backend rest server and because order may be different for the records, the jsonpath matcher in the “field” was used to get the correct record ($..journals[?(@.id==${$.send_valid_unique_identifiers.response.body.rawJournals.[0].id})] which means get the record with an id that matches with the original request list the first one’s id) and then perform a (second imo unnecessary because if the jsonpath matching above is not getting a result, it doesn’t exist and if is matches, then we know the outcome too) check with the value (${$.send_valid_unique_identifiers.response.body.rawJournals.[0].id}. which means the value of the original request list the first one’s id)… Right?
