I'm configuring some requests programmatically in my test cases, I can set headers, custom properties, teardown scripts, etc. however I can't find how to set a standard json body for my put requests.
Is there any possibility from the restMethod class ?
So far I end up getting the method used :
restService = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getInterfaceAt(0)
resource = restService.getOperationByName(resource_name)
request = resource.getRequestAt(0)
httpMethod = request.getMethod()
if (httpMethod.toString().equals("PUT"))
but then I'm stuck trying to find how to set a standard body for my PUT requests.
I try with the getRequestParts() method but it didn't give me what I expected ...
can anyone help, please
thank you

I’ve managed this. I had a tests of tests where I wanted to squirt the content of interest into the “bare bones” request. Idea being that I can wrap this in a data driven test. Then, for each row in my data spreadsheet I pull in the request body for my test. At first I simply pulled the request from a data source value in my spreadsheet, but this became unmanageable in my spreadsheet.
So, another tactic. In my test data sheet (data source) I stored the file name that contains the payload I want to squirt in.
In the test itself, I put in a groovy step immediately before the the step I want to push the payload into.
The groovy script uses the data source to firstly get the file name containing the payload, I then read the contents of the file.
In the step I want to push the data into, I just use a get from data, e.g. {groovyStep#result}.
If this doesn’t completely make sense, let me know and I’ll update with screenshot when I have access to SoapUi.

I have a test case in SoapUI NG Pro which has the following steps:
POST REST Request that starts a process
JDBC Request where I check that the process Start Date has been logged to a database table
Delay (to simulate the time it takes for the process to run)
JDBC Request where I check that the End Date and Duration have been logged to the table
I would like to capture the timestamp of the POST Request to use within my assertions in steps 2 and 4.
I have looked around online and some people have mentioned using Events while others have mentioned using a Script TestStep but I haven't been able to get either to work.
I can get the POST Response timestamp but am looking for the Request timestamp in particular. I also noticed that there is a timestamp in the Request Log but again I don't know how to access that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Its probably also worth mentioning that I am using JavaScript instead of Groovy.
You can add a Script Assertion for the Soap Request test step and add the below statement in order to show the time taken.
log.info messageExchange.response.timeTaken
If you want the above value to be accessible in other steps, then use below(which stores the value to test case level, so that it is easy to access the test case property in other steps of the same test case):
context.testCase.setPropertyValue('TIME_TAKEN', messageExchange.response.timeTaken.toString())
In the later steps, use Property Expansion to read the test case level property value
def timeTaken = context.expand('${#TestCase#TIME_TAKEN}') as Integer
I require some help on being able to get around displaying an endpoint from a SOAP Request.
Below I have a piece of code which retrieves an endpoint from a SOAP Request named 'TestAvailability' and outputs it to a file (the code is within a groovy script step).
def endpoint = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName('TestStep').get
Now here is the catch, in the file it outputs the endpoint as so:
ENDPOINT: ${#Project#BASE_URL}this_is_the_endpoint
The reason it displays ${#Project#BASE_URL} is because this is a variable set at project level so that the user can select their relevant environment from a drop down menu and that value will be displayed for the variable: ${#Project#BASE_URL}
But I don't want the project variable to be displayed but instead its value like so if ${#Project#BASE_URL} is set to 'testenv'
ENDPOINT: testenv_this_is_the_endpoint
My question is how do I change the code in order to display the endpoint correctly when outputted to a file?
You have a trivial issue. Since it is using property expansion in the endpoint, it request to expand it.
All you need is to change below statement
From:
testResult.append "\n\nENDPOINT: " +endpoint
To:
testResult.append "\n\nENDPOINT: ${context.expand(endpoint)}"
I am using soapui and groovy for api automation and assertion.
Have one API which updates user profile data. i.e update username,firstname,lastname etc.
What is best way to verify that if data is updated or not after run update api. In groovy is there any way by which I can store previous data from API response then run update api and again check response and finally compare previous response and latest one?
What I have tried it comparing values which I am going to sent via API and values which API returns. If both equal then assume that values update. But this seems not perfect way to check update function.
Define a test case level custom property, say DEPARTMENT_NAME and value as needed.
Add a Script Assertion for the same request test step with below script:
//Check if the response is received
assert context.response, 'Response is null or empty'
//Parse text to json
def json = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(context.response)
log.info "Department name from response ${json.data.name}"
assert json.data.name == context.expand('${#TestCase#DEPARTMENT_NAME}'), 'Department name is not matched'
You may also edit the request, and add the value as ${#TestCase#DEPARTMENT_NAME} instead of current fixed value XAPIAS Department. So that you can just change the value of department name at test case level property, the same is sent in the request and the same is verified in the response.
Use JDBC teststep to run query directly into database:
Use Xpath assertion to Validate your Update API
Assertion 1
/Results/ResultSet[1]/Row[1]/FirstName
Expected result
Updated FirstName
Assertion 2
/Results/ResultSet[1]/Row[1]/LastName
Updated Last Name
In our project we do it in this way:
First we execute all the APIs.
Then we Validate all the new/updated data in database in DB Validation testcase.
Works well in highly integrated environment as well.
Following these guides https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/quickstart/target-script and https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/quickstart/nodejs, I am trying to use the Execution API in node to return some data that are in a Google Spreadsheet.
I have set the script ID to be the Project Key of the Apps Script file. I have also verified that running the function in the Script Editor works successfully.
However, when running the script locally with node, I get this error:
The API returned an error: Error: ScriptError
I have also made sure the script is associated with the project that I use to auth with Google APIs as well.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can do to debug/ fix this issue? The error is so generic that I am not sure where to look.
UPDATE: I've included a copy of the code in this JSBin (the year function is the entry point)
https://jsbin.com/zanefitasi/edit?js
UPDATE 2: The error seems to be caused by the inclusion of this line
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.open(DriveApp.getFileById(docID));
It seems that I didn't request the right scopes. The nodejs example include 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', but I also needed to include 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets' in the SCOPES array. It seems like the error message ScriptError is not very informative here.
In order to find what scopes you'd need, to go the Script Editor > File > Project Properties > Scopes. Remember to delete the old credentials ~/.credentials/old-credential.json so that the script will request a new one.
EDIT: With the update in information I took a closer look and saw you are returning a non-basic type. Specifically you are returning a Sheet Object.
The basic types in Apps Script are similar to the basic types in
JavaScript: strings, arrays, objects, numbers and booleans. The
Execution API can only take and return values corresponding to these
basic types -- more complex Apps Script objects (like a Document or
Sheet) cannot be passed by the API.
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/api
In your Account "Class"
this.report = spreadsheet.getSheetByName(data.reportSheet);
old answer:
'data.business_exp' will be null in this context. You need to load the data from somewhere. Every time a script is called a new instance of the script is created. At the end of execution chain it will be destroyed. Any data stored as global objects will be lost. You need to save that data to a permanent location such as the script/user properties, and reloaded on each script execution.

I am trying to do the following in SOAPUI:
Read a response and extract a node from it
Insert the node into another request
Generate some xml in a Groovy script and store in a TestCase property
Insert the generated xml from the property as a child node to the node inserted in Step 2.
For 1 and 2: The structure of the response is something like
<A><B>bb</B><C>cc</C><D>dd</D></A>
I extract it via a Property Transfer step using //A to identify the beginning of the node, and passing the node with its children to the request in the next test step. Until this, the node in the request has no content. This works.
For 3 I generate something like
<E>ee</E>
The goal after step 4 is a request structure looking like this:
<A><E>ee</E><B>bb</B><C>cc</C><D>dd</D></A>
A solution using
${#TestCase#new_xml}
to insert the node does not work because there is no way to place the property where the E node should be (as far as I know).
I tried inserting the E node via another Property Transfer test step - the value of the property gets inserted in the request as child to the A node (same way the A node was copied from the response to the next request in Step 2). The result is this:
<A><![CDATA[<E>ee</E>]]<<B>bb</B><C>cc</C><D>dd</D></A>
I would like to know:
How to insert the E node as a child node to the A node while avoiding CDATA (or removing the CDATA subsequently).
Why the xml is passed without CDATA in Step 2 which also uses the SOAPUI Property Transfer Step, but not in Step 4.
Any tips appreciated!
For 1 & 2, you can use just a simple property expansion.
Let say your Response looks like:
<AAA>
<BBB/>
<CCC/>
<BBB/>
<BBB/>
<DDD>
<BBB/>
</DDD>
<CCC/>
</AAA>
And let say you want to transfer the entire node DDD, including the children. In your next request you would use ${<TestStep_name>#Response//*:DDD}. Note the *: means "any namespace", since in a real SOAP Response you will probably have some kind of namespace.
For 3:
// Generate some xml in a Groovy script
def xml = '<AAA><BBB/><CCC/><BBB/><BBB/><DDD><BBB/></DDD><CCC/></AAA>'
// store in a TestCase property
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue('my_property', xml)
If you want to get more fancy, you could use one of the many Java XML libraries, some of which are packaged with SoapUI. Here is one possibility.
For 4, you would again use property expansion: ${#TestCase#my_property}
