    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,

    Ashish

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
