Response XML Parsing with groovy

i have a test which gets the response and parse it to get some value and store in properties. However my groovy gives me the attached error while parsing. Below is the code:

import com.eviware.soapui.support.xml.XmlUtils;

def response= context.testCase.testSteps["GetCabinets Request"].getPropertyValue("response").toString()

log.info response
def node = new XmlParser().parseText(response)
def x = node.e.size()
int i
for ( i=0; i< x; i++)
{

if (node.e.Attributes.object_name.e.text() == "Product Labeling")
{
log.info ("Object Name -- " + node.e.Attributes.object_name.e.text())
log.info ("Object ID --" + node.e.ObjectId.text())
break
}

}




here is the response:

    By default the response is in JASON:

    There are other ways to do the same thing using Slurper classes instead of XMLUtils.
    Since your response is Json you can use JsonSlurper for this:

    In your test step assertion, add this code:
    import groovy.json.*
    def response = new JsonSlurper().parseText(messageExchange.response.responseContent)
    log.info response

    Now you will see the response in the log.

    You can google for JsonSlurper examples, let me know if you need any more info on the same.

    Hello, guys!

     

    I just have similiar problem. I have test case with Run test case element in it. And in this run test case element I need somehow to get response of one of the request in the source test case. But I am using free version of Soap UI. Is it possible to do it in it?

    Thank you
