Hi jayantjayant, while you are working with nmrao and richie on this, just some words of encouragement - don't ever be afraid to sound like a noob in the Community. We are all learning and this is perfectly normal not to know something. Sharing experience is the primary goal of this forum:smileyhappy:
Thanks for your response Rao,
I am using below groovy code as an assertion script for a test step.
//get the path of the project root
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def projectPath = groovyUtils.projectPath
log.info(" projectPath : "+projectPath)
//get the test suite name
def testSuiteName_appName = messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.testSuite.getName()
log.info(" testSuiteName_appName : "+testSuiteName_appName)
//get the test case name
def tcaseName_dashboardName = messageExchange.modelItem.testCase.getName()
log.info(" tcaseName_dashboardName : "+tcaseName_dashboardName)
//get the test step name
def testStepName = messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.getName()
log.info(" testStepName : "+testStepName)
if(execution_mode == "testExecution" ) {
File file = new File("/tmp/Assertion_Files/"+testSuiteName_appName+"/"+tcaseName_dashboardName+"/"+testStepName+".txt")
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String fileStatement;
def newString = "";
while ((fileStatement = br.readLine()) != null) {
newString = newString + fileStatement.toString();
}
def expected_data_in_file = newString.trim().replace(' ', '');
expected_data_in_file = expected_data_in_file.replace("\n", "").replace("\r", "");
def splunkRestApiResponse = context.response.toString().trim().replace(' ', '');
splunkRestApiResponse = splunkRestApiResponse.replace("\n", "").replace("\r", "");
log.info(" splunkRestApiResponse "+splunkRestApiResponse);
log.info(" fileResponse trimmed "+expected_data_in_file) ;
assert(splunkRestApiResponse.equals(expected_data_in_file));
log.info(" Assertion Passed ") ;
}
It is working fine. As this is a generic code and all of my teststeps have same groovy assertion script. Is there a way to put this script at one place and then call it from each assertion script. This will help me to reduce my effort whenever there is a change in groovy script.
Event handling is not suitable here.
- assertions have different purpose that's why they are there
- assertion vary from step to step, may not all step need the same assertions
- assertions allows to execute them on need basis
- since event is fired all the time, it tries to execute the code even though it is not needed
- And richie pointed well that "i can foresee with this is reporting the assertion failure" - is classic example for unfit to use event handling.
It is definitely possible jayantjayant
There are two approaches.
1. ReadyAPI supports scripts libary where user can create classes for common tasks and re-use them whereever needed. The tool takes care of changes in the classes and compile and reload them and this does not require tool to be restarted.
See below documentation for more details.
https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/testing/scripts/library.html
2. For open source, there is no script library available However, similarity is that user creating the classes as above. The difference is that if there are any changes in the class, user have to take care of compiling, creating jar, replace the jar to SOAPUI_HOME/bin/ext directory. Most importantly, tool needs a restart.
Our community expertrupert_anderson created a blog with step by step procedure for the same. Please refer below:
http://rupertanderson.com/blog/1-how-to-develop-add-and-use-a-custom-groovy-library-in-soapui/
Either of the cases, one has to convert the current script into class / method so that it can be reused.
Just tried converting it into class / methods to achieve the same (equivalent of your script assertion)
The work is divided into two parts.
1. logging various details
2. comparing the response with a file
Hence, two methods created. and call the same in the script assertion.
So configure your script library as shown in the previous reply's documentation link.
And here comes the script assertion part.
//optional if you want to show the log statements Utility.showTestDetails(context, log) //Replace the filepath absolute path; this compares current test step response with given absolute file assert Utility.compare(context.response, '/file/path'), 'error message comparison failure'
If you don't want to trim new lines, then use as below to compare
//Pass 3rd optional argugemtn value as false; assert Utility.compare(context.response, '/file/path', false), 'error message comparison failure'
And here is the Utility class
class Utility {
static def sanitize = { text -> text.trim().replace('\n', '').replace('\r', '') }
static def showTestDetails(context, log) {
log.with{
info "Project Path : ${context.testCase.testSuite.project.path}"
info "Suite : ${context.testCase.testSuite.name}"
info "Case : ${context.testCase.name}"
info "Step : ${context.currentStep.name}"
}
}
static def compare(response, fileName, isReplaceNewLine = true) {
def fileContent = new File(fileName).text
if (isReplaceNewLine) {
sanitize(response) == sanitize(fileContent)
} else {
ressponse == fileContent
}
}
}
Thanks for such great assistance, Rao, Richie!
jayantjayant, do the suggestions given here help you resolve the issue?
