    Okay, as long as your REST test request contains a response, I've made some adjustments based on the new sample response you provided.

     

    As indicated in the comment of the script, please ensure "Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1" completely matches the name of the test step whose response we want, and that it's in the same test case as this groovy script. Otherwise, use the Get-Data right-click option to redefine response to the appropriate test step.

     

    Here's an updated groovy script:

     

     

    package json
import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
import groovy.json.*

// get the response of the JSON test step / request. 
// "Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1" should be the name of your test step, 
// and it should be in the same test case as the groovy script.

def response = context.expand( '${Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1#Response}' );
log.info response;


// set up a json slurper to parse the response string
def autocompletenodesreturned = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response).results
log.info autocompletenodesreturned;

// set N to the number of elements in the parsed response
def n = autocompletenodesreturned.size()
log.info(n);
for (int i=0; i < n; i++)
{
	log.info(autocompletenodesreturned[i]);
	assert(autocompletenodesreturned[i].documentNumber.contains("123"));
}

The API is returning the correct response.

 

{
   "results": [   {
      "documentNumber": "123456789",
      "fileId": 0
   }],
   "total": 1,
   "page": 1

 The initial problem is a null response

 

def response = context.expand( '${Retrieve a list of Document Numbers for autocomplete example 1#Response}' ).toString();

    I'm glad it worked! I am not 100% familiar with REST requests, which is why the first script had problems. I'm glad we got it going! The fun part now, is that as you get your feet wet with groovy you can learn how to adapt and re-use scripts.
