    Here you go:

     

    /**
* edit and write your command below
*/
def command = "you batch script command"
log.info command
def process = command.execute()
def outputStream = new StringBuffer()
def errorStream = new StringBuffer()
process.consumeProcessOutput(outputStream, errorStream)
process.waitFor()
log.info("return code: ${process.exitValue()}")
log.error("standard error: ${process.err.text}")
log.info("standard out: ${process.in.text}" + outStream.toString())
context.testCase.setPropertyValue("propertyName", outStream.toString())

    The output of batch script is now set into test case level proprty called "propertyName". And use property expansion i.e., ${#TestCase#propertyName} where it is needed.

Hi Pritish,

 

Could you please clarify your request? What remote file do you want to get? What do you mean by a remote server?

Hi Tanya,

 

  Actually I have a file in my Linux server / HDFS (Remote location) & I would like to featch the file path from linux server .

So I am able to fetch the file path by using a ShellScript.  Same file path I would like to use in my RestStep in SoapUI .

 

Is there any way that I can pass that value to SoapUI So that can be used in my RestStep ?

 

 

 

Thanks

    Do you mean download using ftp/scp to local machine?
    By the way, if you can get the file path using shell script, you download it using the same. Isn't it?

      No Rao,

       

      I don't want to download the file, I just want to pass the File path to SoapUI so that I can use that in my Json and Execute the RestStep .

       

      I mean the output of shellscript will be used in soapui . 

       

      although ,I wrote the output in text file inside Remote Linux server but i am not able to read the file .

       

      Please give me any solution for this ?

       

       

      Thanks

        Not really clear what you are looking for?
        Is the file on remote machine? If so, is that static path or dynamic path? If static, set it in property of test case / suite/project level and use it in rest request as you needed.
        How are you running the shell script? You may run the shell script from groovy script and capture the output and set to property as mentioned above in case of dynamic remote file path.
