how MOCK read request data from attachement

Hi,

> It is even possible in Soapui?

Yes, I believe that this should be possible in SoapUI.

But, considering that the question was posted to the ServiceVirtualization board but not to the SoapUI one, this is what I did using ServiceV:

-- For the POST /rest/submit VirtAction I set dispatch style to Script;

-- Pasted this code to the script dispatch window:

def attachments = mockRequest.getRequestAttachments();
//log.info attachments.size();

//def attachmentName = attachments[0].name;
//log.info "Name: $attachmentName";
//log.info "URL: ${attachments[0].url}";
//log.info "Part: ${attachments[0].part}";
//log.info "Encoding: ${attachments[0].contentEncoding}";

def attachmentInputStream = attachments[0].inputStream;

def textValue = new String(attachmentInputStream.bytes, "UTF-8");
//log.info textValue;
context.setProperty("textFileValue", textValue);
/*
// This part of code will save attachment's content to the file
def attachmentContent = attachmentInputStream
def file = new File("D:\\$attachmentName");
file.append(attachmentInputStream);
*/
attachmentInputStream.close();
//log.info context.getProperty("textFileValue").toString();

-- For the response that will be sent as reply I opened Script section (will be on the right after you click on the response name) and entered this code:

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
import groovy.json.JsonOutput

def textParam = context.getProperty("textFileValue").toString();
def payload = '{ "id" : "' + textParam + '"}';
//log.info(payload);

def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText(payload.toString());
log.info(json);

mockResponse.responseContent = new JsonOutput().toJson(json);

And I got the value from request attachment as a value of the id json entry in response.

You will need to:

a) Write the code that will extract required value from the textFileValue property; and

b) Define the proper json structure for the payload variable.

Hope this will help.

P.S. In case you need to implement the same approach but in SoapUI, I believe that it will be not a problem to adopt the above code for SoapUI.
