How to store an array of json objects in a data template?

[binduHR]

I am constantly facing error

My data template structure is

stash.addDataTemplate({
    connectionSecrets: [
      {
        "id": 589,
        "createdAt": "xxx",
        "updatedAt":"xxx"
      },
     {
       "id": 590,
       "createdAt": "xxx",
       "updatedAt":"xxx"
     }
   ]
});

I am using it as

 .expectJsonLike({'@DATA:TEMPLATE@': 'connectionSecrets'});

And the api response body looks like

  [
    {
      "id": 589,
      "createdAt": "xxx",
      "updatedAt":"xxx"
    },
    {
      "id": 590,
      "createdAt": "xxx",
      "updatedAt":"xxx"
    }
]

How can this be resolved?

And while digging further i found this

Hello @binduHR , have you loaded the data templates into the context of your test execution?

For example, if the data templates are declared in a different file, we need to load them before the start of the test execution.

// template.js

stash.addDataTemplate({
    connectionSecrets: [
      {
        "id": 589,
        "createdAt": "xxx",
        "updatedAt":"xxx"
      },
     {
       "id": 590,
       "createdAt": "xxx",
       "updatedAt":"xxx"
     }
   ]
});

// load template file
require('template.js')

await spec()
  .expectJsonLike('connectionSecrets')

Yeah that's a miss but still facing some problems

So we can have our data templates in the follwoing structure right?

stash.addDataTemplate({
connectionSecrets: [
{
"id": 589,
"createdAt": "xxx",
"updatedAt":"xxx"
},
{
"id": 590,
"createdAt": "xxx",
"updatedAt":"xxx"
}
],
eventTemplates : [{ },{ } ,{ } ]

});
