I am new to Groovy and I could not get around this issue. I appreciate any help.
I want to read a file from Groovy. While I am reading the content, for each line I want to substitute the string '${random_id}' and '${entryAuthor}' with different string values.
protected def doPost(String url, URL bodyFile, Map headers = new HashMap() ) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer()
def randomId = getRandomId()
bodyFile.eachLine { line ->
sb.append( line.replace("\u0024\u007Brandom_id\u007D", randomId)
.replace("\u0024\u007BentryAuthor\u007D", entryAuthor) )
sb.append("\n")
}
return doPost(url, sb.toString())
}
But I got the following error:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException:
No such property: random_id for class: tests.SimplePostTest
Possible solutions: randomId
at foo.test.framework.FooTest.doPost_closure1(FooTest.groovy:85)
at groovy.lang.Closure.call(Closure.java:411)
at groovy.lang.Closure.call(Closure.java:427)
at foo.test.framework.FooTest.doPost(FooTest.groovy:83)
at foo.test.framework.FooTest.doPost(FooTest.groovy:80)
at tests.SimplePostTest.Post & check Entry ID(SimplePostTest.groovy:42)
Why would it complain about a property, when I am not doing anything? I also tried "\$\{random_id\}", which works in Java String.replace(), but not in Groovy.
You are doing it the hard way. Just evaluate your file's contents with Groovy's SimpleTemplateEngine.
import groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine
def text = 'Dear "$firstname $lastname",\nSo nice to meet you in <% print city %>.\nSee you in ${month},\n${signed}'
def binding = ["firstname":"Sam", "lastname":"Pullara", "city":"San Francisco", "month":"December", "signed":"Groovy-Dev"]
def engine = new SimpleTemplateEngine()
template = engine.createTemplate(text).make(binding)
def result = 'Dear "Sam Pullara",\nSo nice to meet you in San Francisco.\nSee you in December,\nGroovy-Dev'
assert result == template.toString()
you better use groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine class; check this for more details http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy+Templates
The issue here is that Groovy Strings will evaluate "${x}" by substituting the value of 'x', and we don't want that behaviour in this case. The trick is to use single-quotes which denote plain old Java Strings.
Using a data file like this:
${random_id} 1 ${entryAuthor}
${random_id} 2 ${entryAuthor}
${random_id} 3 ${entryAuthor}
Consider this code, which is analogous to the original:
// spoof HTTP POST body
def bodyFile = new File("body.txt").getText()
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer()
def randomId = "257" // TODO: use getRandomId()
def entryAuthor = "Bruce Eckel"
// use ' here because we don't want Groovy Strings, which would try to
// evaluate e.g. ${random_id}
String randomIdToken = '${random_id}'
String entryAuthorToken = '${entryAuthor}'
bodyFile.eachLine { def line ->
sb.append( line.replace(randomIdToken, randomId)
.replace(entryAuthorToken, entryAuthor) )
sb.append("\n")
}
println sb.toString()
The output is:
257 1 Bruce Eckel
257 2 Bruce Eckel
257 3 Bruce Eckel

I have groovy code as below:
def randomInt = RandomUtil.getRandomInt(1,200);
log.info randomInt
def chars = (("1".."9") + ("A".."Z") + ("a".."z")).join()
def randomString = RandomUtil.getRandomString(chars, randomInt) //works well with this code
log.info randomString
evaluate("log.info new Date()")
evaluate('RandomUtil.getRandomString(chars, randomInt)') //got error with this code
I want to evaluate a String which one like a {classname}.{methodname} in SoapUI with Groovy, just like above, but got error here, how to handle this and make it works well as I expect?
I have tried as blew:
evaluate('RandomUtil.getRandomString(chars, randomInt)') //got error with this code
Error As below:
Thu May 23 22:26:30 CST 2019:ERROR:An error occurred [No such property: getRandomString(chars, randomInt) for class: com.hypers.test.apitest.util.RandomUtil], see error log for details
The following code:
log = [info: { println(it) }]
class RandomUtil {
static def random = new Random()
static int getRandomInt(int from, int to) {
from + random.nextInt(to - from)
}
static String getRandomString(alphabet, len) {
def s = alphabet.size()
(1..len).collect { alphabet[random.nextInt(s)] }.join()
}
}
randomInt = RandomUtil.getRandomInt(1, 200)
log.info randomInt
chars = ('a'..'z') + ('A'..'Z') + ('0'..'9')
def randomString = RandomUtil.getRandomString(chars, 10) //works well with this code
log.info randomString
evaluate("log.info new Date()")
evaluate('RandomUtil.getRandomString(chars, randomInt)') //got error with this code
emulates your code, works, and produces the following output when run:

I made up the RandomUtil class as you did not include the code for it.
I think the reason you are seeing the error you are seeing is that you define your variables char and randomInt using:
def chars = ...
and
def randomInt = ...
this puts the variables in local script scope. Please see this stackoverflow answer for an explanation with links to documentation of different ways of putting things in the script global scope and an explanation of how this works.
Essentially your groovy script code is implicitly an instance of the groovy Script class which in turn has an implicit Binding instance associated with it. When you write def x = ..., your variable is locally scoped, when you write x = ... or binding.x = ... the variable is defined in the script binding.
The evaluate method uses the same binding as the implicit script object. So the reason my example above works is that I omitted the def and just typed chars = and randomInt = which puts the variables in the script binding thus making them available for the code in the evaluate expression.
Though I have to say that even with all that, the phrasing No such property: getRandomString(chars, randomInt) seems really strange to me...I would have expected No such method or No such property: chars etc.
Sharing the code for for RandomUtil might help here.
How to get values from properties file using Groovy?
I require to have a property file (.properties) which would have file names as key, and their destination path as the value. I will need the key to be resolved at runtime, depending on file that needs to be moved.
So far I am able to load the properties it seems but can't "get" the value from the loaded properties.
I referred to the thread : groovy: How to access to properties file? and following is the code snippet i have so far
def props = new Properties();
File propFile =
new File('D:/XX/XX_Batch/XX_BATCH_COMMON/src/main/resources/patchFiles.properties')
props.load(propFile.newDataInputStream())
def config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(props)
def ant = new AntBuilder()
def list = ant.fileScanner {
fileset(dir:getSrcPath()) {
include(name:"**/*")
}
}
for (f in list) {
def key = f.name
println(props)
println(config[key])
println(config)
def destn = new File(config['a'])
}
the properties file has the following entries for now :
jan-feb-mar.jsp=/XX/Test/1
XX-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar=/XX/Test/1
a=b
c=d
Correct values are returned if I look up using either props.getProperty('a')
or,
config['a']
Also tried the code: notation
But as soon as switch to using the variable "key", as in config[key] it returns --> [:]
I am new to groovy, can't say what am i missing here.
It looks to me you complicate things too much.
Here's a simple example that should do the job:
For given test.properties file:
a=1
b=2
This code runs fine:
Properties properties = new Properties()
File propertiesFile = new File('test.properties')
propertiesFile.withInputStream {
properties.load(it)
}
def runtimeString = 'a'
assert properties."$runtimeString" == '1'
assert properties.b == '2'
Unless File is necessary, and if the file to be loaded is in src/main/resources or src/test/resources folder or in classpath, getResource() is another way to solve it.
eg.
def properties = new Properties()
//both leading / and no / is fine
this.getClass().getResource( '/application.properties' ).withInputStream {
properties.load(it)
}
//then: "access the properties"
properties."my.key"
Had a similar problem, we solved it with:
def content = readFile 'gradle.properties'
Properties properties = new Properties()
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(content.getBytes());
properties.load(is)
def runtimeString = 'SERVICE_VERSION_MINOR'
echo properties."$runtimeString"
SERVICE_VERSION_MINOR = properties."$runtimeString"
echo SERVICE_VERSION_MINOR
Just in case...
If a property key contains dot (.) then remember to put the key in quotes.
properties file:
a.x = 1
groovy:
Properties properties ...
println properties."a.x"
Properties properties = new Properties()
properties.load(new File("path/to/file.properties").newReader())
Just another way of doing it. Use this if it works for you. :)
Properties properties = new Properties()
//loading property file
File propertiesFile = new File(this.class.getResource('application.properties').getPath())
propertiesFile.withInputStream {
properties.load(it)
}
//Accessing the value from property file
properties.getProperty('userName')
With static method extension:
Properties.metaClass.static.fromFile =
{file -> new Properties().with{new File(file).withInputStream it.&load;it}}
def properties = Properties.fromFile('test.properties')
Groovy for getting value of property from "local.properties" by giving key.
Example- For finding value of this property's key is "mail.smtp.server"
In V5
ctx.getBean("configurationService")
configurationService = ctx.getBean("configurationService")
String value = configurationService.getConfiguration().getString("mail.smtp.server","")
In 1905
spring.getBean("configurationService")
configurationService = spring.getBean("configurationService")
String value = configurationService.getConfiguration().getString("mail.smtp.server","")
Hello I am using groovy 2.1.5 and I have to write a code which show the contens/files of a directory with a given path then it makes a backup of the file and replace a word/string from the file.
here is the code I have used to try to replace a word in the file selected
String contents = new File( '/geretd/resume.txt' ).getText( 'UTF-8' )
contents = contents.replaceAll( 'visa', 'viva' )
also here is my complete code if anyone would like to modify it in a more efficient way, I will appreciate it since I am learning.
def dir = new File('/geretd')
dir.eachFile {
if (it.isFile()) {
println it.canonicalPath
}
}
copy = { File src,File dest->
def input = src.newDataInputStream()
def output = dest.newDataOutputStream()
output << input
input.close()
output.close()
}
//File srcFile = new File(args[0])
//File destFile = new File(args[1])
File srcFile = new File('/geretd/resume.txt')
File destFile = new File('/geretd/resumebak.txt')
copy(srcFile,destFile)
x = " "
println x
def dire = new File('/geretd')
dir.eachFile {
if (it.isFile()) {
println it.canonicalPath
}
}
String contents = new File( '/geretd/resume.txt' ).getText( 'UTF-8' )
contents = contents.replaceAll( 'visa', 'viva' )
As with nearly everything Groovy, AntBuilder is the easiest route:
ant.replace(file: "myFile", token: "NEEDLE", value: "replacement")
As an alternative to loading the whole file into memory, you could do each line in turn
new File( 'destination.txt' ).withWriter { w ->
new File( 'source.txt' ).eachLine { line ->
w << line.replaceAll( 'World', 'World!!!' ) + System.getProperty("line.separator")
}
}
Of course this (and dmahapatro's answer) rely on the words you are replacing not spanning across lines
I use this code to replace port 8080 to ${port.http} directly in certain file:
def file = new File('deploy/tomcat/conf/server.xml')
def newConfig = file.text.replace('8080', '${port.http}')
file.text = newConfig
The first string reads a line of the file into variable. The second string performs a replace. The third string writes a variable into file.
Answers that use "File" objects are good and quick, but usually cause following error that of course can be avoided but at the cost of loosen security:
Scripts not permitted to use new java.io.File java.lang.String.
Administrators can decide whether to approve or reject this signature.
This solution avoids all problems presented above:
String filenew = readFile('dir/myfile.yml').replaceAll('xxx','YYY')
writeFile file:'dir/myfile2.yml', text: filenew
Refer this answer where patterns are replaced. The same principle can be used to replace strings.
Sample
def copyAndReplaceText(source, dest, Closure replaceText){
dest.write(replaceText(source.text))
}
def source = new File('source.txt') //Hello World
def dest = new File('dest.txt') //blank
copyAndReplaceText(source, dest) {
it.replaceAll('World', 'World!!!!!')
}
assert 'Hello World' == source.text
assert 'Hello World!!!!!' == dest.text
other simple solution would be following closure:
def replace = { File source, String toSearch, String replacement ->
source.write(source.text.replaceAll(toSearch, replacement))
}
I am importing an XML and then creating a list of objects based on the information from the XML.
This is a sample of my XML:
<DCUniverse>
<SuperHeroes>
<SuperHero>
<SuperHeroName>SuperMan</SuperHeroName>
<SuperHeroDesc>Surviver of Krypton; Son of Jor-el</SuperHeroDesc>
<SuperHeroCode>SM</SuperHeroCode>
<SuperHeroAttrs>
<SuperHeroAttr Name="Strength">All</SuperHeroAttr>
<SuperHeroAttr Name="Weakness">Kryptonite</SuperHeroAttr>
<SuperHeroAttr Name="AlterEgo">Clark Kent</SuperHeroAttr>
</SuperHeroAttrs>
</SuperHero>
<SuperHero>
<SuperHeroName>Batman</SuperHeroName>
<SuperHeroDesc>The Dark Knight of Gothom City</SuperHeroDesc>
<SuperHeroCode>BM</SuperHeroCode>
<SuperHeroAttrs>
<SuperHeroAttr Name="Strength">Intellect</SuperHeroAttr>
<SuperHeroAttr Name="Weakness">Bullets</SuperHeroAttr>
<SuperHeroAttr Name="AlterEgo">Bruce Wayne</SuperHeroAttr>
</SuperHeroAttrs>
</SuperHero>
</SuperHeroes>
<DCUniverse>
Here is an example of the groovy script that I am running to create the objects:
class Hero{
def SuperHeroName
def SuperHeroDesc
def SuperHeroCode
def SuperHeroAttrLst = [:]
Hero(String name, String desc, String code, attrLst){
this.SuperHeroName=name
this.SuperHeroDesc=desc
this.SuperHeroCode=code
this.SuperHeroAttrLst.putAll(attrLst)
}
}
def heroList = []
def heroDoc = new XmlParser().parse('dossier.xml')
heroDoc.SuperHeroes.each{ faction ->
faction.SuperHero.each{ hero ->
heroList += new Hero( hero.SuperHeroName.text(),
hero.SuperHeroDesc.text(),
hero.SuperHeroCode.text(),
hero.SuperHeroAttrs.SuperHeroAttr.each{ attr ->
return [ (attr.'#Name') : (attr.text()) ]
})
}
}
When I run the above code, I get the following error:
java.lang.ClassCastException: groovy.util.Node cannot be cast to java.util.Map$Entry
I have a strong feeling that it has something to do with the last variable that the closure is trying to send to Hero Class Constructor. Commenting out
this.SuperHeroAttrLst.putAll(attrLst)
in the Hero Constructor allows the script to at least parse correctly. What I am trying to do is create a class based on the XML and place it in the list like:
heroList += new Hero('Batman',
'The Dark Knight of Gothom City',
'BM',
['Strength':'Intellect', 'Weakness':'Bullets', 'AlterEgo':'Bruce Wayne'] )
However, my variable typing is incorrect and I dont know enough about Groovy's (or Java's) syntax to make it work.
Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I think you should change hero.SuperHeroAttrs.SuperHeroAttr.each{ //blah blah to:
hero.SuperHeroAttrs.inject([:]) { attributes, attr ->
attributes[attr.'#Name'] = attr.text()
return attributes
}
are there any improvements where i can improve this code? Maybe there are some groovy language features? This snippet flattens a xml file to: node/node/node
def root = new XmlParser().parse("src/your_xml.xml")
root.depthFirst().each { n ->
def name = n.name()
while(n?.parent()){
name = "${n?.parent()?.name()}/${name}";
n = n?.parent()
}
println name
}
I might refactor the code to use a more functional style.
def x = """
<test>
<test1>
<test2/>
</test1>
<test2>
<test3/>
<test4>
<test5/>
</test4>
</test2>
</test>
""".trim()
def root = new XmlParser().parseText(x)
def nodePath(node) {
node.parent() ? "${nodePath(node.parent())}/${node.name()}" : node.name()
}
root.depthFirst().each {
println nodePath(it)
}
assert nodePath(root.test2[0].test4[0].test5[0]) == "test/test2/test4/test5"
-- Edit: Ignore me, I'm wrong [see comments] (not the last line though);
I suspect you can write (but I could be wrong, I have no experience with this language)
while(n = n?.parent()){
But honestly; don't go with something that is cool, go with something that is readable.
