Validating a string inside of a string-CodePudding

I'm starting a cucumber automation and I'm struggling to validate a simple string, cucumber is telling me the following:

expected: "[The value '123456789' is not valid.]"
 got: ["The value '123456789' is not valid."]

the code I wrote for that validation: expect(@response['errors']['id']).to eql "[The value '123456789' is not valid.]"

how can I make such validation? Thanks everyone.

Maybe there is a mistake in your assertion :

Just move double quote inside your array

eql "[The value '123456789' is not valid.]"

eql ["The value '123456789' is not valid."]

AhmeDEV49's answer is already good, I just want to suggest using another matcher, include instead of eql, like this:

expect(@response['errors']['id']).to include "The value '123456789' is not valid."

Then you do not have to care about the array brackets at all.

CodePudding user response：

The response was a array of strings, so the following worked:

expect(@response['errors']['id']).to eql ["The value '123456789' is not valid."]
