How to add a rule where it checks boolean input body parameters

[parulbhagat-soprabanking]

Hi Team,
Currently when we add a rule to check the body parameter value, then it is considering the value string "true" and boolean true as equal. How can I add a rule where it checks that the mocks return the response only if the input parameter value passed is boolean true and not when true is passed as a string like "true".

Hi,

It's true that the rule is comparing strings to booleans but it's working.
If you define a rule as shown in your screenshot, it will correctly compare to the boolean in the body ({ "uncleared": true }) and serve the response or not.
Or maybe there is something I misunderstood in your question?

Yes the screenshot that I shared does work fine with the body input { "uncleared": true } but it also give the response for { "uncleared": "true" } . What I want to implement in the rule is that it gives response for only { "uncleared": true } and not { "uncleared": "true" }

OK, I understand now.
This "equals" rule is permissive by design, so it can work with such strings "true" or "false".
We would have to add a new "boolean" rule, maybe with a switch, that would compare the type too.
It's planned, but if you want you can propose this in a new issue.

Sure you can.
But there is no guarantee that it will be done soon.
