Capturing Request and Response XML in log file

Hello,

There is a dump file property which captures the raw response data, but not the request. I think the easiest way of capturing both the request and the response is by writing a groovy script to do so. Add a Script TestStep after the Request with the following script:

def timestamp = System.currentTimeMillis()
def directory = "c:\\dump"

def requestFile = new File(directory, "request_${timestamp}.txt")
requestFile.append( context.expand('${HTTP Test Request#Request}') )

def responseFile = new File(directory, "response_${timestamp}.txt")
responseFile.append( context.expand('${HTTP Test Request#Response}') )

This will save each request and response to a separate file.

Alternatively, if all you want to do is output them to the log, you can use:

log.info context.expand('${HTTP Test Request#Request}')
log.info context.expand('${HTTP Test Request#Response}')

In either case, replace HTTP Test Request with the name of your TestStep.
