Been struggling with this a lot lately: How do I store a custom Groovy script with imports etc in the JMeter UI so I can reuse it later?
I don't want to alter JMeter startup property files in any way
I want to be able to call this Groovy 20+ times within the JMX with different parameters
From the JMeter doc:
Once the script is working properly, it can be stored as a variable on
the Test Plan. The script variable can then be used to create the
function call.
The groovy (compatible with Beanshell) is 62 lines and includes imports of custom JAR files. If I could store this as a var callable with __groovy(param) that would be great, I don't see how to do that from the docs. Setting up 20 JSR223s is incredibly clunky but I am coming up with workarounds if there is no JMeter way to do this.

Depending on what you're trying to achieve:
There is a possibility to specify a path to the file with your code in any of JSR223 Test Elements so you won't have to copy and paste it multiple times into "Script" area so in case of changes you will need to amend it in one place only:
There is groovy.utilities property where you can specify the path to your .groovy file containing the logic callable from the __groovy() function, it defaults to bin/utility.groovy
You can compile your code to .jar file and store it under JMeter Classpath, this way you will be able to call your functions from any place. See How to Reuse Your JMeter Code with JAR Files and Save Time article for example implementation/usage details

I have a sampler that get data from DB (budget), and I have some assertions that I made using JSR223 assertion.
In each assertion I write the same function (check_budget) and to each assertion I pass different values (start_budget, end_budget etc)
The problem is that I duplicate the code for each assertion and it is not friendly for maintenance.(if logic change need to change at 7 duplicate functions)
It there a way to create a sampler and write generic function in it (calc_budget) and to call it from each assertion,
like creating a class in java and perform import?
In Groovy you have evaluate() function, so given you stored it into a JMeter Variable or JMeter Property or into a file you can call it like:
evaluate(vars.get('your_var'))
or
evaluate(new File('your_test.groovy'))
See Scripting JMeter Assertions in Groovy - A Tutorial article for more information.
In that case, and in general also, you can keep groovy script in a script file and call the same script file from all JSR223 elements
Script File
Name of a file to be used as a JSR223 script, if a relative file path is used, then it will be relative to directory referenced by "user.dir" System property
i started to use Soapui this week and i did some tests like sending a request POST and save the response as txt file ina folder.
What i'm trying to do is to read this txt file, copy a sepcific data and store it in Custom Properties.
Because i want to use this object in the nest Request POST which is depending of the first request.
I want to do it in Groovy.
i have only the Open source SOAPUI version 5.0.0
Thank you
You've to add a groovy test step in your test case and do it similar as you would in java, check groovy documentation.
Only as a reference SOAPUI 5.2.0 has the groovy 2.1.7 version (check the dependency in pom.xml) so in groovy scripts which runs on SOAPUI you can use the java standard api included in the jre, the SOAPUI classes, the groovy 2.1.7 API among some others, additionally you can include other jars in SOAPUI\bin\ext in order to use them in groovy script.
Finally you're asking about to read some data from a file and write it to a custom property, so for example you can do it as follows:
// read the file from path
def file = new File('/path/yourFile')
// for example read line by line
def yourData = file.eachLine { line ->
// check if the line contains your data
if(line.contains('mySpecifiyData=')){
return line
}
}
// put the line in a custom property in the testCase
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue('yourProp',yourData)
Since your problem it's not clear I show you a possible sample showing how to read a file looking for specific content and saving this content in a custom property in the testCase.
Note that in groovy scripts the are a global objects which you can use: testRunner, context and log, in this sample I use testRunner to access testCase and its properties, in the same way you can go thought testRunner to access testSuites, project, testSteps etc... check the documentation:

Hope this helps,
I'm using SoapUI Pro and a DataSource/DataSink loop to test a web service.
To make life more fun, I need to pull from four distinct source files, all of which will cause different expected results.
I'd really like to do this in a single test loop, because having scripts with multiple loops tends to crash SoapUI more often than not, but the sticking point is assertions.
How can I enable or disable assertions in a Groovy script in SoapUI? GetData doesn't give me anything to hook onto, and a documentation dive did not reveal the proper syntax. I'd assume something like testCase.assertion, but there's no such property as "assertion" on testCase.
Alternately, can I use a Groovy script to change the assertion's content? In other words, if I want phrase X with file 1, phrase Y with file 2, I'm just as happy using the same assertion, so long as I can change the content it's trying to match.
You could use your Groovy script to set some kind of property testCase.setPropertyValue('expected', 'value'), based on which file you are reading. You could then use property expansion ${testCase#expected#} in the assertion content.
I have a set of 60 testcases in a project in SoapUI that I want to run concurrently. Each testcase needs to use a value to work. The values are stored in an external file (spreadsheet or textfile). Each testcase needs to get a value from this file and use it. However when I run the testsuite, multiple tests are picking up the same value however only one value can be used for a test (same value cannot be used in more than 1 test at the same time). I would like the external file to be accessed by one testcase at a time in soapUI. Does this involve locking or some sort of queueing system or what groovyscript could I use? thanks
I can't figure out how to get this to work with your external file, but I can think of another way only using SoapUI. Here's my suggestion for a solution:
Create a new TestCase containing only a DataGen TestStep.
Configure it so that it generates the numbers you want.
Change its mode to "READ", so that it will generate a new value every time the test step is run.
Now, wherever you want one of these values, instead of accessing your external file, add a Run TestCase TestStep to run your new DataGen test case, and make sure to return the generated number as a property. Use it where you need the generated number.
As I'm typing this, I just realized this only works with the pro version of SoapUI. If you don't have a license you can get a trial from the website.
I'll explain the task requested from me:
I have two containers in Azure, one called "data" and one called "script". In the "data" container there's a txt file with data, and in the "script" container there's a script file.
Now, I need programatically (with WorkerRole) to execute the script file, with the content of the data file as parameters (Example: a script file that accepts a string 's' and returns to the screen "Hello, 's'", when 's' in the string given, and in the data file there's a string), and save the result of the run into another file which needs to be saved in another container called "result".
How do I do all these? I've already uploaded the files and created the blobs programatically, but I can't seem to understand how to execute the file of how to save its result to another file?
Can I please have some help?
Thanks in advance
Here are the steps in pseudo code:
Retrieve the script from the blob(using DownloadToStream())
Compile the script(I will leave this to you as I have no idea what
format your script is)
Load parameters from blob(same as step 1)
Execute script with those parameters.
If your script's can be written as lambda expressions then this becomes a lot easier as you can turn them into Action's
Edit based on your questiions:
DownloadText() is no longer included in Azure Storage 2.0, you only have access to DownloadToStream(). Even if you are using an older version(say 1.7) I would recommend using DownloadToStream() in the event you ever upgrade in the future. This will prevent having to refactor your code.
In terms of executing your script, depending on what type of script it is(if it is c# code you can use this example: Is it possible to dynamically compile and execute C# code fragments?. If you need to execute a different type of script you would need to run it using Process.Start and you can look at this example: http://www.dotnetperls.com/process-start
I do not have much experience with point number 2 but those are the processes I have heard and seen used.
