Groovy script get certain tag(s) from response xml

Hi,   I am rather new to groovy scripting and have a question. I have a xml request that gives a certain response: <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">    <SOAP-...

    Try the below script.

     

    import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
def xml = new XmlHolder(context.response)
def preValidationMinValue = xml.getNodeValue("//*:PrevalidationMin")
new File('c:/temp/myfile.csv').write(preValidationMinValue)

    Note that, you may have to change/tune the xpath if you have multiple EAN elements to get the right value.

Hi,

 

Assuming you are happy with capturing the value from the response e.g. using the code you had:

 

def  prevalidationMinValue = oResponseHolder.getNodeValue( "PrevalidationMin")

 

And this gives you the value you want, then to write the file you can just do something like: 

 

new File('/Users/test/yourfile.csv').write(prevalidationMinValue)

 

Is this what you needed?

 

Cheers,

Rupert

Rupert,

 

Thanks for your reply. However I still get an error when trying to create the file. I get a NullPointerException.

 

When I write

new File('/yourfile.csv').write("Test") the script creates a new file with the string Test in it.

 

When I write

new File('/yourfile.csv').write(PrevalidationMin) I get the NullPointerException

    Are you using unix operating system and trying to save on the root directory?
    Any way provide the valid file path(absolute) separated by '/' even on windows platfrom.

      I am using windows..Dont really see the problem. If I can create a file with a string in it and this work, the same should work with the PrevalidationMin value in it. But that gives the NullPointerException. Dont really understand why the file path wouldnt work in the 2nd example...

        Hi,

         

        I can't see all your script, but it looked like you might not have matched the variable name / case correctly? (sorry if you have and I just can't see)

         

        Please see the screen shot of a simple example in case it helps:

        Otherwise, please show me your whole script so that I can check it.

         

        Cheers,

    that is because, the value that is in PrevalidationMin variable is null.
