Setting HTTP Parameters via testrunner.sh

Hi everone,

I'm quite new to soapUI but so far managed to get everything done. Now I've run into a problem with the SoapUITestCaseRunner that I can't seem to be able to solve.

I need to preemptively send basic authentication to a server when running a test case with the testrunner.sh script. When using a GUI, this is togglable via the reference tab. How do I switch it on when running testrunner.sh, though? When I set the commons httpclient to DEBUG logging I can see that it uses the http.authentication.preemptive = false setting.
I tried searching the forum for preemptive and testrunner but to no avail. Seems nobody ran into this when using the testrunner.sh script.

Can anyone help?

greetz,
chris

    I dont know via Testrunner.sh.. I can give you a hint at teststep level.

    NOTE: will work only in 3.5.1 version

    import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.*
    import com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToStringMap ;

    def tc = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.getTestCaseByName("TestCase")
    def ts2 =tc.getTestStepByName("r1")
    def headers = new StringToStringMap()
    headers.putIfMissing("Authorization","Basic VEVTVF9JJkFfU3VwZXJVc2VyOmZhYnJpYzEwMQ==")
    ts2.getHttpRequest().setRequestHeaders(headers)
    log.info ts2.getHttpRequest().getRequestHeaders()

    thanks kamahade,
    that did the trick. I combined your script with the one from the blog and another script for encoding base64 and got:

    import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.*
    import com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToStringMap

    for( testCase in testSuite.getTestCaseList() ) {
       log.info("Setting HTTP basic auth for all WSDL test requests in test case ["+
                 testCase.getLabel()+"]")
      for( testStep in testCase.getTestStepList() ) {

        if( testStep instanceof WsdlTestRequestStep ) {
            def headers = new StringToStringMap()
            def auth = testSuite.getPropertyValue("basicAuthUser") + ":" + testSuite.getPropertyValue("basicAuthPass")
            log.info "auth: " + auth
            def encodedAuth = auth.bytes.encodeBase64().toString()
            log.info "encodedAuth: " + encodedAuth
      headers.putIfMissing("Authorization","Basic " + encodedAuth)
      testStep.getHttpRequest().setRequestHeaders(headers)
        }
      }
    }


    when I use testrunner.sh (or testrunner.bat) from the console, the script is executed and I get basic authentication in all outgoing messages.
    For this to work, the 'basicAuthUser' and 'basicAuthPass' properties need to be set on the test suite, of course.

    thanks again!
