SoapUI test step help

Hi,
I have just started using soapUI and loadUI to test web service calls into an API.
I am passing in a fixed telephone number in the url. All else in the url will remain the same.
Some of the things I want to do are:

1) Have a test step goto a file (.txt preferably) and fetch a different phone number
on each interation of the test step set.
2) Have a test step that fetches a group of phone numbers and issues a set of url's
with each having a different phone number and makes a batch request

Any help would be great

Brian

    Hello Brian,

    You can generate the url at run time. I am sure there is way to read .txt file, but i feel its easier to read this information from properties file. You can create groovy script to create the url at run time and pass that as a parameter to your target step. Below is a peice of groovy code that might be helpfull:


     def path = groovyUtils1.getProjectPath();
     def propFile = "\\phone.properties";
     FileInputStream read = new FileInputStream(path + propFile);
     Properties prop = new Properties();
     prop.load(read);

     def totalCount= Integer.parseInt(prop.getProperty("totalCount"));
     for (counter in 1..totaCount)
     {
          def url = "http:\\phone.number.com\phonenumber=";
          def ph = "Phone";
          ph = ph + counter;
          phnumber = prop.getProperty(ph);
          url = url + phnumber;
          // you can now pass this url to target property in your test case and call the test case from here itself
     }


    You can have your property file like this now and name it as phone.properties:

    totalCount = 5
    Phone1 = 123456789
    Phone2 = 123456788
    Phone3 = 123456787
    Phone4 = 123456786
    Phone5 = 123456785

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any thing else.

    Thanks,
