WebResponse returns empty list though webrequest was successful

Ankathi_Madhuritha

Hi ,
I have been working on an automation , as part of it I want to compare the value of a property in my JSON payload and store it.
I have sent a webrequest and it was successful , but {{webResponses.last.body}} returns an empty list [] . I could not find the reason as when I validated the webrequest I get the following payload


[ { "id": 12, "name": "ACI", "mappedProjectId": 0, "createNewVersion": true, "deploymentConfiguration": { "showBuildNumber": true, "showDescription": true, "preventDeploymentMerge": false, "readonlyDeployedIssues": false, "preventJiraDeploymentSync": false } }, { "id": 9, "name": "AEM", "mappedProjectId": 0, "createNewVersion": true, "deploymentConfiguration": { "showBuildNumber": true, "showDescription": true, "preventDeploymentMerge": false, "readonlyDeployedIssues": false, "preventJiraDeploymentSync": false } } ] 

I want to compare the name with a issue field and store the respective id . 
Could someone help or share your thoughts ?

Thanks in Advance !!

Hi @Ankathi_Madhuritha 

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

  • what type of project is this (e.g., company-managed, team-managed, etc.), 
  • an image of your complete automation rule,
  • images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches,
  • an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and
  • explain what is not working as expected.

Until we see those...

What are you expecting the response to contain: a single response, or zero-to-many?

To confirm what the rule is receiving, I recommend writing these to the audit log (in separate Log actions) after the Send Web Request action to confirm the structure:

web responses size: {{webResponses.size|0}}

web response bodies: {{webResponses.body}}

web response body size: {{webResponse.body.size|0}}

web response body: {{webResponse.body}}

 

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks for that information.

The syntax you are using to "find" the smart value in the webResponse body is invalid and not a feature of automation rules.

And, the supported way to filter within a list iterator would not work for your case because data / fields outside the iterator scope are not visible inside.

Once possible workaround is to use a dynamic list search, where the needed webResponse values are expanded into text, stored in a created variable, and then a dynamic regular expression is built to find what is needed (using your customfield_10255).  If you want to try that approach, here is an article I wrote on the technique: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/Automation-concepts-Dynamic-searches-within-a-list/ba-p/2834235
