I am not able to get output of remote shell script from groovy script in soapui

for an example I have added below dummy code in shell file auto.sh -

CURRENTDATEONLY=`date +"%b %d, %Y"`
echo Current Date is: ${CURRENTDATEONLY}
sleep 2

 

and calling above shell script auto.sh from groovy script in soapui

 

def command = "C:/Program Files/PuTTY/putty.exe -ssh root@ip -pw passwd -m C:/auto.sh"
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}" + outputStream.toString())
context.testCase.setPropertyValue("propertyName", outputStream.toString())

 

running above groovy script opens a new putty prompt and runs command as expected, but i am unable to capture the output in testCase propertyName

 

o/p of groovy

it would be great if someone can help me how to capture the o/p and store it in testcase property 

please correct me if something is wrong with code

  • I think you are looking for the output in the wrong place.

    log.info("return code: ${process.exitValue()}")
    log.error("standard error: ${errorStream}")
    log.info("standard out: ${outputStream}")
    

    Have a look here.

    Try replacing new StringBuffer() with new StringBuilder().

      Hi SiKing I tried replacing new StringBuffer() with new StringBuilder()

      but neither o/p showed in groovy logs nor stored in testcase property
