Wrong error message for type mismatch in jsonPath().value() #25480
Description
This is the code I was running
.andExpect(jsonPath("$.myRootObject.content").value(myObject.getContent()))
In json path the returned value has the datatype String. Somehow I wrongly put byte[] in the expected. myObject.getContent() returns byte[]. So I was trying to compare String with byte[]. The error received should be ClassCastException. No Value at JSON Path is misleading message.
So there is value at the JSON path, its just that there is mismatch in the type. Value is present , so thrown error should give more specific issue , which is with expected and not with actual.
