extracting location header from raw response and using that as a endpoint for next step in a request

The response is of a post

the groovy script is used to extract the location which is working fine
 
 
def vals = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("TC_POST_EXTUSER").httpRequest.response.responseHeaders["Location"]
 
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
groovyUtils.setPropertyValue("Request2", "Endpoint", vals.toString())
 
but while trying to use the extracted location header value in next request with a null pointer exception.
 
I would like the endpoint of next request to be populated with the value.

    Hey,

     

    Well if you didn't figure it out yet here is the answer... The code you can put into the groovy script can be this:

     

    // Get the location header
def vals = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("TC_POST_EXTUSER").httpRequest.response.responseHeaders["Location"][0]

// Set a test case property for the header
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "LocationHeader", vals )

    ... and then you can use it in a future request like:

     

     

    Cheers! :smileyhappy:

      Thanks for the solution.

      I did like this because the location header value for my next request would be the endpoint .

       

      def vals = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("TC_POST_EXTUSER").httpRequest.response.responseHeaders["Location"][0]

      def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)

      return vals

      GETV.setPropertyValue('Endpoint',vals)

       

      thanks a lot Lucina for that [0] ,i could able to get rid off the square brackets. (which was my latest problem)

      Thanks for the script, Lucian. That's super useful and I've been working on something similar so that'll help.

        Well I didn't think this would help a community leader :manvery-happy: but I am glad it did.
