Plain Text Response Validation

Let us see, how we may validate the plain text response in vREST NG Application.

To validate the plain text response, just set the Expected Body with the desired plain text response.

Let us suppose, your API returns the following plain text response,

This is sample plaintext response with the following items:
=> Item 1
=> Item 2
=> Item 3
=> Item 4
=> Item 5

To validate the above response, just set the Expected Body with the exact same actual response as shown in the figure below. While execution, vREST NG will compare the actual response with the expected response content and if both responses matches then vREST NG will pass the assertion.

Now, suppose in the above response, some values are dynamic and you have defined variables for such values then you may use variables or utility methods to handle the dynamic values as shown in figure below:

Further, if you would like to ignore some parts of the above response then you may use the special variable {{*}} as well to ignore such parts.
