Check and retrieve OAuth Token at project startup

Howdie,

 

I'm a little bit blured into the documentation of SmartBear.

 

I need to use an Access Token for some of my Webservice projects that are configured according our FSP.

My Flow = Client Credentials Grant

I've been able to add the token manually for each REST Request, but I'm searching for a way to make a check on the beginning of the project. As the projects will be put on Jenkins and Jenkins doesn't look at anything (it's basically just grabbing the code and executing it) I should need a kind of groovy code or something that starts the listeners at the beginning of each projects to check if the Token is still valid. If not ask for a new one before executing the testcases.

 

So I've added an Event "SubmitListener.beforeSubmit" with the code that I've found online.

I've added this Event to all my projects but it doesn't seem to check if the Token is still valid.

Maybe this code isn't usefull for this?

 

// Import the required classes
import com.eviware.soapui.impl.rest.actions.oauth.OltuOAuth2ClientFacade
import com.eviware.soapui.support.editor.inspectors.auth.TokenType
import com.eviware.soapui.model.support.ModelSupport

def authProfileName = "FODBOSA_PDC"

if(!submit.getRequest().getAuthType().asBoolean()){
    return // stop if the auth type is null, for example jdbc requests
}else if(submit.getRequest().getActiveAuthProfile() == null){
    return // stop if the auth profile is null
}else if(authProfileName == submit.getRequest().getActiveAuthProfile().getName()){

    // Set up variables
    def project = ModelSupport.getModelItemProject(context.getModelItem())
    def authProfile = project.getAuthRepository().getEntry(authProfileName)
    def oldToken = authProfile.getAccessToken()
    def tokenType = TokenType.ACCESS

    // Create a facade object
    def oAuthFacade = new OltuOAuth2ClientFacade(tokenType)

    // Request an access token in headless mode
    oAuthFacade.requestAccessToken(authProfile, true, true)

    // Wait until the access token gets updated
    //while(oldToken == authProfile.getAccessToken()) {}

    //The sleep method can be used instead of a while loop
    //sleep(3000)

    for(int i = 0; i<=3000; i++){
        if(oldToken != authProfile.getAccessToken()){
            break
        }
        sleep(1)
    }

    // Post the info to the log
    log.info("Set new token: " + authProfile.getAccessToken())
}

Documentation about  OAuth on SmartBear talks about ".... uses JavaScript to simulate user actions against the webpage"  . Do I really need to understand it like a 'browser that opens a webpage' action? because if we're talking API's I don't see where this fit in? 

Then the documentation talks about an 'Authorization' and a 'Consent code' followed by an eventually "Calling the Automated Retrieval Procedure". I don't see how this is relevant for API's, how I can adapt/use this for my case. Well ... that is, the last part could be usefull as there is a Listener in it, but then again the code is talking about a login name and  password.....

 

I've also read the implementation with Jenkins, but I doubt that the coding there will be used to check/retrieve new Tokens.

 

Is there someone who already have tried to automate the Token retrieval?

 

thanks in advance for your time reading all this  :-)
