How to retrieve Node Tree when child value matches text

Dear Smartbear community,

 

it has been a while since I have been at the coal face however I have searched far and wide for a response yet I can't quite find a solution to my problem.  I hope someone can help.  I am using groovy to parse an API call response in xml.  An example is below:

 

<GetJobs>
<jobs>
<jobEntry>
<name>JOB_NAME</name>
<status>RUNNING</status>
<runDate>2021-08-31T19:58:27+10:00</runDate>
<runDuration>0 days 00:47:14</runDuration>
<chainName>JOB_NAME_CHAIN</chainName>
<runningStep>STEP_FOUR</runningStep>
<steps>
<stepEntry>
<stepName>STEP_ONE</stepName>
<stepState>SUCCEEDED</stepState>
</stepEntry>
<stepEntry>
<stepName>STEP_TWO</stepName>
<stepState>SUCCEEDED</stepState>
</stepEntry>
<stepEntry>
<stepName>STEP_THREE</stepName>
<stepState>FAILED</stepState>
</stepEntry>
<stepEntry>
<stepName>STEP_FOUR</stepName>
<stepState>RUNNING</stepState>
</stepEntry>
<stepEntry>
<stepName>STEP_FIVE</stepName>
<stepState>NOT_STARTED</stepState>
</stepEntry>
</steps>
</jobEntry>
</jobs>
<jobStatus>RUN</jobStatus>
<startDate>2021-08-31</startDate>
<jobName/>
<returnType>NEW</returnType>
</GetJobs>

 

I essentially want to pull out the <name> and <stepName> for the 'FAILED' steps (i.e. STEP_THREE).  Or ALL <stepNames> that meet the search string, like 'RUNNING' or 'FAILED'

 

So it might print line "Job " + node.name.text() + " Step " + node.stepname.text() + " Failed."

"Job JOB_NAME Step STEP_THREE Failed."

 

As I say it has been a while since I have needed to solve these problems and I am a bit rusty.  I am a big flumoxed and any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks to some valuable contributions from other sites, I managed to find a solution.  It was fairly easy in the end stiching some ideas from those posts.  I have put it here in case anyone would like to make use of it.

     

    import groovy.util.*
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

    def sdfDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss")

    //Parse XML content in the response
    def completedResponse = context.expand( '${ListCompletedStreams#Response}' )
    def parsedcompletedResponse = new XmlSlurper().parseText(completedResponse)

    //Loop over each Job Entry
    parsedcompletedResponse.jobs.jobEntry.each { jobEntry ->

    //Loop over every steo entry and pull out only those steps that fail. Find the parent Job Name and other parent properties.
    jobEntry.steps.stepEntry.each { stepEntry ->
    if (stepEntry.stepState.text() == "FAILED" ) {

    def strJobEntryRunDate = Date.parse("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", "${jobEntry.runDate.text()}")
    log.info "\tJob Stream : ${jobEntry.name.text()} starting at " + sdfDateFormat.format(strJobEntryRunDate) + " has a failed Job Step."
    log.info "\tJob Step: ${stepEntry.stepName.text()} failed after ${jobEntry.runDuration.text()} minutes."
    }
    }
    }


    return null
