[REST] seeResponseContainsJson should not take order into account

[DavertMik]

If I have array response like this

[
{
"id": "33",
"title": "Google",
"created_at": "2014-02-08 03:09:31",
"updated_at": "2014-02-08 03:09:31"
},
{
"id": "34",
"title": "Twitter",
"created_at": "-0001-11-30 00:00:00",
"updated_at": "2014-08-03 14:21:33"
}
]

I should be able to check array values without knowing its keys, so I could check that item I'm looking for is inside of array:

<?php
$I->seeResponseContainsJson([['title' => 'Twitter']]); // should pass
?>

Especially useful if there is root element:

{"companies": [
{
"id": "33",
"title": "Google",
"created_at": "2014-02-08 03:09:31",
"updated_at": "2014-02-08 03:09:31"
},
{
"id": "34",
"title": "Twitter",
"created_at": "-0001-11-30 00:00:00",
"updated_at": "2014-08-03 14:21:33"
}
]
}

<?php
$I->seeResponseContainsJson([['title' => 'Twitter']]); // should pass
$I->seeResponseContainsJson([['title' => 'Twitter'], ['title' => 'Google']]); // should pass
$I->seeResponseContainsJson(['companies' => [['title' => 'Twitter'], ['title' => 'Google']]]); // should pass
?>

Actually, in some cases, I would like to have the correct order... for instance when testing that my "order by" query returns the right order

It would be a backwards compatibility break now.

To achieve your goal, you could use seeXmlResponseMatchesXpath for each item of array.

@Lambik you can test sorting in the following way:

$res = $I->sendGet('/api/endpoint');
$json = Json::decode($res);
$I->assertEquals(123, $json[0]['id']);
$I->assertEquals(456, $json[1]['id']);
