Access array value from codeception object

Question

I am on PHP53 so codeception 1.8

$response = (array)$I->grabDataFromJsonResponse("result");
\Codeception\Util\Debug::debug($response);

  Array
  (
      [*position] => 0
      [*val] => Array
          (
              [key1] => 10
              [key2] => 1
          )

      [*assocArray] => 1
  )

Now when I try to access the values in the array it gives me error

\Codeception\Util\Debug::debug($response['key1']);

[ErrorException] Undefined index: key1

as it should be. try \Codeception\Util\Debug::debug($response['*val']['key1']); — Calimero

@Calimero I have tried that , says "Undefined index: *val" How can the values be fetched ? — Neil

This is because of the Object -> array conversion

To access the protected properties (prepended with *) you have to include the sourrounding null bytes:

$response["\0*\0val"]['key1']

(note the double quotes)

This works! However I am also looking for an answer where I can directly get hold of an array from the response using codeception BDD style API.

Isn't grabDataFromJsonResponse doing that?

@Naktibalda grabDataFromJsonResponse is not able to take a path when arrays are involved. Any suggestions ?
