loop a http request, check response code and break the loop if response code <> 404

In ReadyAPI/SOAPUI, I need to go through some sort of "While loop" for a request.   here is the loop: 1. send the http request; 2. evaluate response code; 3. re-execute step 1 if response c...

Hi mgroen2,

 

I never really use the conditional goto step, I prefer to use the much more flexible groovy test step.

What you might look for is something like this;

 

 

def response = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepAt(context.getCurrentStepIndex()-1).testRequest.response.getResponseHeaders()
String responseStatus = response["#status#"]
//log.info responseStatus
   if (!responseStatus.contains("[HTTP/1.1 2"))
      {
      testRunner.fail("TESTCASE: " + testRunner.getTestCase().getName() + " TESTSTEP: "+ context.getCurrentStep().getName() + " -- Resultaat van de update van de status was niet succesvol. De testcase faalt en we gaan onmiddellijk naar het einde van de status flow.")
      }

 This script you put in a groovy test step and it will go fetch the response status from the previous (rest request) step.

In my case: if it does NOT contain a valid http2* header status then it will fail the test case and stop execution.

 

Hope this helps. If it does, feel free to mark it als "resolved".

De groeten,

Joost
