expected false to deeply equal true on postman

Question

I am trying to write a test to confirm that "Active": true and am struggling. Apologies in advance for sloppy code. This is what I have tried and I am getting "AssertionError: expected false to deeply equal true"
Here is my code and response body I am receiving.
var jsonData = pm.response.json();
for (i of jsonData.resources) {
var found = false;
var serviceID = pm.environment.get("serviceID");
for (i of jsonData.resources) {
    if (i.ID == serviceID) {
        if (i.Active == "true") {
            found = true;
            break;
        }
    }
}
pm.expect(found).to.be.eql(true);
}

You are checking if i.Active == "true" but your data shows i.Active as a boolean, not a string (true !== 'true').
Check for a boolean instead:
if (i.Active === true) {
  found = true;
  break;
}

Something like this will work for what you're trying to do:
let jsonData = pm.response.json(),
     serviceID = pm.environment.get("serviceID");

_.each(jsonData.resources, (item) => {
    if (item.ID === serviceID) {
        pm.expect(item.Active).to.be.true
    }
});
