Groovy Reusable Functions - Extract Node Value - groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: - groovy

Question

I'm a Groovy noob and trying to get my head around using reusable functions to extract an xml node value for a given test step and node in SoapUI. It seems the class runs fine but the problem is when using the method. I get the following error:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.apache.log4j.Logger.info() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String) values: [return TestStepName, Node] Possible solutions: info(java.lang.Object), info(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Throwable), any(), wait(), dump(), find(groovy.lang.Closure) error at line:
This is my class:
class Example
{
def log
def context
def responseSOAXmlStep
def resultValue
def responseNodePath
def storeProperty
// Class constructor with same case as Class name
def Example(logIn,contextIn,testRunnerIn)
{
this.log = logIn
this.context = contextIn
this.responseSOAXmlStep = responseSOAXmlStep
this.responseNodePath = responseNodePath
}
def execute(responseSOAXmlStep,responseNodePath)
{
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context );
// do some stuff to prove I've run with right context, etc.
log.info "return "+responseSOAXmlStep,responseNodePath
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( responseSOAXmlStep+"#ResponseAsXml" );
resultValue = holder.getNodeValue( "//ns1:"+responseNodePath );
log.info("Node value: " + resultValue );
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.setPropertyValue(storeProperty, resultValue);
return execute
}
}
context.setProperty( "example", new Example( log, context, testRunner) )
log.info "Library Context:"+context
This is where I do the call in a step after the response step:
// get a reference to the library TestSuite
library = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.testSuites["Library"]
// find the module within the library
module = library.testCases["Library"].testSteps["Second Example_Class"]
// initialise the library; which places an instance of Example in the context
module.run(testRunner, context)
// get the instance of example from the context.
def example = context.example
// run the method, with parameter
log.info "example.execute(responseSOAXmlStep,responseNodePath) = " + example.execute("TestStepName","Node")
I've searched the forum but could not find an answer that suites my query. Any form of assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Your error description says that you're invoking info() method on log passing two strings as and arguments, and this method doesn't exist.
The problem is easy to solve, pass one concatenated string with + as parameter instead of passing two strings. In your execute method inside your Example class use this:
def execute(responseSOAXmlStep,responseNodePath)
{
...
// USE + TO CONCATENATE STRINGS INSTEAD OF USE ,
log.info "return " + responseSOAXmlStep + responseNodePath
...
}
instead of:
def execute(responseSOAXmlStep,responseNodePath)
{
...
// do some stuff to prove I've run with right context, etc.
log.info "return " + responseSOAXmlStep,responseNodePath
...
}
EDIT:
As you said in your comment probably you've another problem storing properties in TestSuite level. You're using this code:
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.setPropertyValue(storeProperty, resultValue);
The problem is that setPropertyValue is expecting string as a first argument however at this line in your code storeProperty is not defined yet. Try for example defining storeProperty as:
def storeProperty = "myProperty" before using it in setPropertyValue call.
Hope this helps,
