unable to remove slash after performing a replaceAll

BruceyBandit :

Object jsonBody = getParsedJSONDocument(document);
Object href =  JsonPath.read(jsonBody, "$.href");

assertThat(href, is(String.format(System.getenv(ENDPOINT)+"%s", url).replaceAll("\\\\", "")));

I am trying to perform an assertion against a url and the issue I am having is the \ in the url when it gets it from the response.

It spits out <["https:\/\/www.testenv\/examplesite.com\"]>

How do I remove the slash and take it out of the array as I am expecting:

"https://www.testenv/examplesite.com"

Somehow the forward slashes were escaped in json: wrong data. If that is your statement.

String href = JsonPath.read(jsonBody, "$.href");
href = href.replace("\\", "");

Furthermore, though correct, better style would be simply using + or:

assertThat(href, is(String.format("%s%s", System.getenv(ENDPOINT), url)).replace("\\", ""));

Maybe you intended the replace to happen on href. In junit the first comparison element is the expected value, the second of the actual computed value.
