10 Groovy scripts on your finger tips - soapUI

In this series of Groovy blogs [numbered 10], i will be sharing very frequently  used "10 groovy scripts" which should be on your finger tips. These would come handy in order to perform any Automation using the Groovy in soapUI.

@Description : Collection of groovy script snippets required to achieve automation in soapUI
*/

1. Using Log variable
    log.info("Any Text message " + anyVariable)

2. Using Context variable
    def myVar = context.expand( '${#TestCase#SourceTestStep}') //will expand TestCase property value into the new variable
    context.testCase  // returns the current testCase handle

3. Using TestRunner variable
    testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("TestStepName")
    testRunner.testCase // return the handle to current testCase
    testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.testSuites["My_TestSuite"]

4. Using MessageExchange variable
    messageExchange.getEndpoint() //endpoint to the selected teststep
    messageExchange.getTimestamp()    //timestamp
    messageExchange.getTimeTaken()    //time taken to process the request/response

5. Using Project, TestSuite, TestCase, TestStep methods
    def project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project
    def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project

    def myTestSuite = project.getTestSuiteAt(IndexNumber)
    def myTestSuite = project.getTestSuiteByName("Name of the TestSuite")

    def myTestCase = myTestSuite.getTestCaseAt(IndexNumber)
    def myTestCase = myTestSuite.getTestCaseByName("Name of the TestCase")

    def myTestStep = myTestCase.getTestStepAt(IndexNumber)
    def myTestStep = myTestCase.getTestStepByName("Name of the TestStep")

6. RawRequest & RawResponse
    messageExchange.getRequestContentAsXml.toString()
    messageExchange.getResponseContentAsXml.toString()

7. groovyUtils & XmlHolder
    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder ("Assert_Script#Response")

8. Converting String into Integer & Integer into String using groovy
    anyStringVar = anyIntegerVar.toString()
    anyIntegerVar = anyStringVar.toInteger()

9. Reading & Writing user-defined property with Groovy
    def userIdInStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName( "UserDefinedProperty" )
    def userIdStr = userIdInStep.getPropertyValue( "myPropertyName" );
    userIdInStep.setPropertyValue("myPropertyName", "StringValueAsInput")

10. Refer soapUI API docs & go soapUI Pro inorder to get Advanced functionality without writing code ;-)

Happy Scripting!! Do share this blog post with others and also share any useful scripts/ideas if you have.

Groovy 7 - getStatus & getError message of each assertion in a teststep

In one of the blog post, somebody asked me how they can get the status of each individual assertion of a test step. So on my way to office, i managed to comeup with below is the script which will extend (rather append) the existing code written in blog post - "Groovy 6 - clone test step assertion using Groovy script in soapUI".

Please note, that the below provided script can be extended/merged with other script shared. For instance, you can place few code lines from the script and iterate through all the teststep inside a testcase.

Keeping watching/reading this space, soon i will be sharing the blogs on - communicating with JXL API (free Excel API) & interaction with database using the Groovy.

import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.Assertable

def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project

def testSuite = project.getTestSuiteAt(1)

def testCase = testSuite.getTestCaseAt(0)

def testStepSrc = testCase.getTestStepByName("myTestStepName")

def counter = testStepSrc.getAssertionList().size()

for (count in 0..<counter)

{

log.info("Assertion :" + testStepSrc.getAssertionAt(count).getName() + " :: " + testStepSrc.getAssertionAt(count).getStatus())

error = testStepSrc.getAssertionAt(count).getErrors()

if (error != null)

{

log.info(error[0].getMessage())

}

log.info("---------------------------- Line to seperate each assertion status in logs -----------------")

}

I would appreciate your valuable comments and other relevant inputs.  Keep sharing & be happy :-)

Groovy 6 - clone test step assertion using Groovy script in soapUI

Yesterday, I found one interesting question in eviware forum [thread] : seeking the information about replicating the "Clone Assertion" feature from soapUI Pro into the soapUI open source using the groovy. So i thought of trying my hand on the same and shared below is the working piece of code to achieve the same.

P.S. : I have also updated the eviware forum thread and people who 'hates' blog can read the solution in the thread. And thanks to the user for raising this question in forum :-)

Initialize:
# Create 2 property at testcase level named "sourceTestStep" & "targetTestStep" respectively.
# Always copy and paste the name of teststep when update the value of newly defined property, so as to reduce the possibility of TYPO error.
# Create a groovy test step then paste the below code and run the test step. Done!

@Description : Clone all the assertion from TestStep [SourceTestStep proptery] into the target TestSTep [TargetTestStep property] by executing a groovy test step.
*/

import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.Assertable
def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project
def testSuite = project.getTestSuiteAt(1)
def testCase = testSuite.getTestCaseAt(0)
def sourceTestStep = context.expand( '${#TestCase#SourceTestStep}' )
def targetTestStep = context.expand( '${#TestCase#TargetTestStep}' )

def testStepSrc = testCase.getTestStepByName(sourceTestStep)
def testStepTrgt = testCase.getTestStepByName(targetTestStep)
def counter = testStepSrc.getAssertionList().size()
for (count in 0..<counter)
{
    testStepTrgt.cloneAssertion(testStepSrc.getAssertionAt(count), testStepSrc.getAssertionAt(count).getName())
}

Gr-oo-vy II – testrunner/context variable

Use of the testrunner variable to get the response data of any specific teststep.

def request = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName( “myTestStepName” );
def responseData = request.getProperty( “Response” );
log.info(responseData.value)

To display the name of project, testsuite, testcase & teststep:

def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project
log.info(project.name + “   ” + project)
def testSuite = project.getTestSuiteAt(1)  // 1 is the index number of testsuite
log.info(testSuite.name + “   ” + testSuite)
def testCase = testSuite.getTestCaseAt(0)  // 0 is the index number of testcase
log.info(testCase.name + “      ” + testCase)
def testStep = testCase.getTestStepAt(7) // 7 is the index number of teststep
log.info(testStep.name + “    ” + testStep)

To count the number of testsuites, testcases, teststeps use the below code :

def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project
log.info(project.name + “   ” + project.testSuiteCount)
def testSuite = project.getTestSuiteAt(1)
log.info(testSuite.name + “   ” + testSuite.testCaseCount)
def testCase = testSuite.getTestCaseAt(0)
log.info(testCase.name + “      ” + testCase.testStepCount)
def testStep = testCase.getTestStepAt(7)
log.info(testStep.name + “    ” + testStep)

We can use the above code and put them into a loop (for/each) to iterate through all the elements. In below example, we iterate through all the test steps under a testcase :

for (int count in 0..<testcase.teststepcount)
{
log.info(testCase.getTestStepAt(count).getName() + “  is our testStep number ” + count)
log.info(“Is this test step disabled? : ” + testCase.getTestStepAt(count).isDisabled())
}

OR

( 0..<teststep1 ).each{

    log.info(testCase.getTestStepAt(it).getName())
    }
