`JSON parse error: Cannot deserialize value of type
java.lang.StringJsonToken.START_ARRAY"sample": ["sample1","sample2"],u

Why have you got maxArrayLike inside another array?

Harry
09/21/2023, 6:37 AMIt is just one of the tries to get it working!

Is this not what you need?
Copy code
> import au.com.dius.pact.consumer.dsl.PactDslJsonBody
>
> new PactDslJsonBody('$', "test", null)
> .eachLike("sample", 2)
> .stringType("name", "sample1")
> .closeObject()
> .closeArray()
Result: {"sample":[{"name":"sample1"},{"name":"sample1"}]}h

Harry
09/21/2023, 6:57 AMthe array in my case only has values, as you can see in the code that I have shared, it doesnt have a key-value pair inside
sampleu

Copy code
> import au.com.dius.pact.consumer.dsl.PactDslJsonBody
> import au.com.dius.pact.consumer.dsl.PactDslJsonRootValue

> new PactDslJsonBody('$', "test", null)
> .eachLike("sample", PactDslJsonRootValue.stringType("sample1"), 2)
Result: {"sample":["sample1","sample1"]}h

09/21/2023, 7:16 AM@uglyog this one worked, thank you🙏! what if we dont want to specify the number of values , since the response is dynamic?

eachLike uses a fixed number of values in the consumer test, but can match any number of values
