Groovy : How to give absolute file path of file.

Hi

 

I want to give absolute file path in Groovy. I have following code.

 

// Option 1 : this works on my local. but not on Jenkins/maven which is on server. As there is relative path of my local

 

request = xmlParser.parse("/home/vishalpachpute/API/Responses/Response_SelfFullTrans.xml")

 

// Option 2 : This works only in Maven/jenkins. Not in Ready API tool. In Ready API tool, It shows java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/SmartBear/ReadyAPI-1.9.0/bin/Responses/Response_SelfFullTrans.xml


request = xmlParser.parse("Responses/Response_SelfFullTrans.xml")

 

So can you please suggest any such absolute path so that it will work on both SOAP UI tool and Maven.

 

Kindly help me on this. Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Vishal

    Since the path changes machine to machine, you need to use a variable / project level property, say BASE_DIRECTORY, set this value according to machine, here "/home/vishalpachupute" and rest of the path maintain the directory structure for the resources being used.

    In the script:

    def prefix = context.expand('${#Project#BASE_DIRECTORY}')
    def request = new File("${prefix}/API/Responses/Response_SelfFullTrans.xml").text
