Groovy IV - how to log response size, request size, time taken


/*

Last few blogs were related to Groovy script, however i didn't mentioned about one of most useful groovy code lines which can be very handy when you want to verify the certain things without actually looking into the response data.

The cases where you want to time taken by server to provide the response, or the validating the response data by verifying/comparing  the size of response data or request data. I personally use these script lines to frequently see all the logged data when executing the testcases/testsuite for validating the correctness of my data. For instance, if you recv a valid response for a request size would be xx Bytes and whenever there is any error it would be yy Bytes. Similarly, if the timetaken by response is exceeding your assigned/recommended values, you can use this to verify (note: you can also use 'assert' keyword to use any specific value as the assertion).

Use the below provided code lines in the groovy script assertion of each test step in a testcase.

log.info("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~")
log.info("Request size :" + messageExchange.requestContent.size())
log.info("Response size :" + messageExchange.responseContent.size())
log.info("Time :" + messageExchange.getTimeTaken())

With every run of the teststep, script log section/tab will update the display with the size of request, response & timetaken to provide the response.

Groovy III - text file as Data Source for input

/*
@Title : Gr-ooo-vy Code III
@Description : using text file as Data Source using Groovy code lines
@Author : Pradeep Bishnoi

This is another blog post unleashing the power of Groovy script to perform certain set of task. SoapUI users, who have used the 15 days trail license of SoapUI Pro version, must be missing various important features, after license expiration. Well, in this blog i will try to replicate one of the important feature of Data Source [provided by Pro version] using the Groovy. A lot can be achieved using the Groovy...

Recommendation : I would encourage users to go for soapUI Pro license to avail many more useful features + the support from soapUI support team. Go soapUI Pro!!

Copy and paste the below provided code lines in the TearDown script for the selected TestCase.


import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )

def folderName = "D:/Automate/response"  //to store the resonse
def createFolder = new File(folderName)
createFolder.mkdir()

def testSuite = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.testSuites["My_TestSuite"]
def testCase = testSuite.getTestCaseAt(0)
def testStep1 = testCase.getTestStepCount()

def xHolder = new XmlHolder(testCase.getTestStepAt(0).getProperty("Response").getValue())

File tempFile = new File("D:/data_source_file.txt")
List lines = tempFile.readLines()
def i=0
def temp1 = 0
def inputValue

def myTestStep
def myTestRunner
def myTestStepContext
//Loop through all the names of the test steps.
( 0..<testStep1 ).each
{
    i=0

   tempFile.eachLine
    {
        testCase.setPropertyValue("inputValue", lines[i++])
        inputValue = context.expand( '${#TestCase#inputValue}' )
        myTestStep = testCase.getTestStepAt(temp1)
        myTestRunner = new com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.testcase.WsdlTestCaseRunner(myTestCase, null)
        myTestStepContext = new com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.testcase.WsdlTestRunContext( myTestStep )
        myTestStep.run( myTestRunner, myTestStepContext )
       

xHolder = new XmlHolder(testCase.getTestStepAt(temp1).getProperty("Response").getValue())
        f = new File( folderName + '/' + inputValue + '_' +  testCase.getTestStepAt(temp1).getName().toString() + '.txt')
        f.append("\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n")
        f.append("#################################################\r\n")
        f.append("\t\t\t Response \r\n")
        f.append("#################################################\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n")
        f.write(xHolder.prettyXml)
        xHolder.clear()
   
    }
    temp1++
}


Now all the response will be stored in the filename with specific name [inputvalue_teststepname.txt] in the folder name defined in the above part of the code.Also, you have to create a user defined property under the TestCase (test properties) and name it as "inputValue" [Case Sensitive]. And use this user defined property in all the teststep as the parameterized input. 
Updated : Code lines mentioned above are updated after recieving the feedback from the users. There was some problem with HTML tags, so the actual code was not visible. Now it should work.
