Failing to create directory from tear down script at Test Suite Level

Hello,

 

I am trying to generate HTML Report as part of Reporting for SOAP UI Automation. I have tried below piece of code at TestSuite Level in order to get some report. Now during this course, i am facing issue with mkdir() command which is failing to create new directory.

 

def testSuitename=runner.testSuite.getName()
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def projPath2 = groovyUtils.projectPath
def timestamp = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.getPropertyValue( "Timestamp" )
def tmstmpfolder1=new File(projPath2+"/SoapUIResults/"+testSuitename+timestamp).mkdir()
def failDetails1=new File(projPath2+"/SoapUIResults/"+testSuitename+"/"+"failDetails1.html")
def finalReport=new File(projPath2+"/SoapUIResults/"+testSuitename+timestamp+"/"+testSuitename+timestamp+".html")
def repHeader = new File (projPath2+"/SoapUIResults/"+testSuitename+"/"+testSuitename+" ReportHeader1.html")

 

Is it kind of caching issue, which is preventing to create new directory. Also due to which it is failing to create "ReportHeader1.html" and "testSuitename+timestamp+.html" files as highlighted in bold.

 

when i tried to troubleshoot, it results as "false" -- log.info (tmstmpfolder1)


Can you please assist me on this issue. Also please let me know if any kind of settings needs to be done at Preferences.

 

Thanks,

Ashish

    Hi Natalie,

    Thanks for your response!

     

    The SoapUIResults has been created manually and hence included as a string in file creation step. 

     

    I have troubleshooted myself and found that it was due to format of Timestamp value. I was saving Timestamp as "YYYY-mm-dd HH:mm:ss" and mkdir() command doesn't support character ":" in windows. Later i have changed format as below and was able to make directory and it worked !!

     

    Timestamp now saved as "YYYY-mm-dd HH-mm-ss". 

     

    Thank you again!

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Ashish,

     

    The mkdir method fails to create a new directory if the "SoapUIResults" directory doesn't exist in your "project path" directory. Creating "SoapUIResults" manually beforehand or creating it with another mkdir call should help. Video: https://www.screencast.com/t/BgmsrENEP
