    Looks I missed the conversations below.

    You mentioned, "Yes. I need to know how to build and execute Rest using groovy"

    You may need to spend time to understand first how things works.

    If there is a ladder, there are steps, climb one by one. Can't reach from first step to top step in Single step.

    For every thing there will be a learning curve.

    I could not understand that If you just wanted to do it in groovy, then why you Ready API was choosen.

Is there a reason that you have to use Groovy script?

 

Yes. I need to know how to build/ execute a Rest Request using groovy script.

 

Have you seen the following tutorial?

No, i didn't see it. Thank you !

 

I have found this link :

http://readyapi.smartbear.com/structure/parameters/styles/start

 

Do you know how can i add Rest parameter QUERY, TEMPLATE, HEADER, MATRIX, PLAIN with groovy ?

Sorry, I'm not sure if I'm the right person to help as I don't have detailed knowledge of building and executing REST requests via Groovy (I tend to stick to using the built in test steps and only dropping into Groovy only when I need extra functionality).

 

A quick look at the REST test step shows its a RestTestRequestStep. This class has various methods for adding parameters, though I have not had to do this myself so can not comment further. In case I mis-understood your last message, if you are wanting to set already existing poperties this page may help.

 

Hopefully, somebody else with more detailed knowleddge of building REST requests via Groovy can help.
