Re: Context won't expand certain properties inside a Groovy class

Hi,

I'm trying to do a REST request which calls a groovy class for one of it's parameters, the call looks like this:
${=MyClass.call("${#Project#property}", request, context, log)}


The context which is passed is the DefaultPropertyExpansionContext.
Inside the Groovy class's method I need to access the request parameters, but some of them require expansion.

This is where I get stuck, since if I try to expand the property I get nothing.
The context will only expand properties on the project level, but not any lower (TestCase/TestSuite).

Example from the script:
log.info(s + "=" +  request.getPropertyValue(s))
log.info(s + "=" + context.expand("'" + request.getPropertyValue(s))+ "'")


Which prints out:
Tue Apr 13 09:40:56 IDT 2010:INFO:method=activateContent
Tue Apr 13 09:40:56 IDT 2010:INFO:method='activateContent'
Tue Apr 13 09:40:56 IDT 2010:INFO:msisdn=${#TestCase#phoneNumber}
Tue Apr 13 09:40:56 IDT 2010:INFO:msisdn=''
Tue Apr 13 09:40:56 IDT 2010:INFO:operator_id=${#TestSuite#operatorId}
Tue Apr 13 09:40:56 IDT 2010:INFO:operator_id=''


Please advise as to how this can be done.

Regard,
Mike

    Hi Mike,

    hmm.. exactly where in soapUI are you specifying this

    ${=MyClass.call("${#Project#property}", request, context, log)}

    ?

    can you attach a screenshot (so I don't misunderstand...)?

    regards!

    Hi Ole,

    I attached the screenshot of the SoapUI.

    Here's the code for the class:

    package com.muzicall;

    import org.apache.log4j.Logger
    import com.eviware.soapui.impl.rest.RestRequestInterface
    import com.eviware.soapui.model.propertyexpansion.PropertyExpansionContext
    import javax.crypto.Mac
    import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec
    import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64

    class Rbt4AllApiSignatureGenerator {

     public static String sign(String key, RestRequestInterface request, PropertyExpansionContext context, Logger log) {
      Set<String> sortedKeys = new TreeSet<String>(String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER)
      
      sortedKeys.addAll(Arrays.asList(request.getParams().getPropertyNames()))
      
      sortedKeys.remove("signature")
      sortedKeys.remove("public_key")
      
      log.info("Request parameters: ${sortedKeys}")

      def restCall = ""
      for (String s : sortedKeys) {
       restCall += s
       restCall += context.expand(request.getPropertyValue(s))
       log.info(s + "=" +  request.getPropertyValue(s))
       log.info(s + "=" + context.expand("'" + request.getPropertyValue(s))+ "'")

      }

      log.info(context.expand('${#TestSuite#storeId}'))

      ...
      sign the key
      ...

      return signedKey;
     }
    }

    Hi,

    I'm trying to reproduce this but can't seem to.. can you mail me the project and the groovy file (remove any private stuff) so I can try with that? (mail to support@eviware.com)

    thanks in advance!

    Hi Ole,

    I sent it to that email address.

    Just to chime in, notice that the log lines where the property is missing have single quotes.

    Tue Apr 13 09:40:56 IDT 2010:INFO:msisdn=''


    Does it work if you remove them?

    log.info(s + "=" + context.expand(request.getPropertyValue(s)) )

    Hi McDonald,

    I tried witout the single quotes and it prints out an empty string:
    Wed Apr 14 14:14:30 IDT 2010:INFO:msisdn=${#TestCase#testCaseProp2}
    Wed Apr 14 14:14:30 IDT 2010:INFO:msisdn=
    Wed Apr 14 14:14:30 IDT 2010:INFO:operator_id=${#TestSuite#testSuiteProp1}
    Wed Apr 14 14:14:30 IDT 2010:INFO:operator_id=
    Wed Apr 14 14:14:30 IDT 2010:INFO:set_as_default=${#Project#projectProp}
    Wed Apr 14 14:14:30 IDT 2010:INFO:set_as_default=project property (expands ok)


    As you can see, the project level property gets expanded fine, but lower level ones don't (yes, I put values in them ).

    Regards,
    Mike
