Jsonpath on empty array

Hi,

When querying a Rest API the result may be juste an empty array
[]

How to check if the arry is empty and if not fetch the first element. I’m success do this when the array is not empty with

.check(status.in(200), jsonPath("$[0].id").saveAs( "firstdocid" ))

But indeed this fails with 0 element.

Appreciate some help on this point.

Regards

Use optional instead of default exist

Is there any sample about optionnal in the doc ? I did find anything on 2.1.2 version

Thanks

So as I understand this will work

header("Etag").dontValidate.saveAs("Etag")))

but
dontValidate

is not usable with jsonPath as

jsonPath("$[0].id").dontValidate.saveAs( "firstdocid" )

Or did I miss something ?

Chech the documentation: dontValidate has been renamed to optional.
