ReadyAPI as a client of server sent events

Hello, I need to use ReadyAPI as a client of server sent events. Indeed, after sending a request I need to listen to event data (as a result of my request)  and  retrieve event data sent on SSE. ...

    Hello,

    The proposed approach does not work.

    I have addressed my question to smartbear customer service and they have  provided me a solution. 

    ReadyAPI (sopaui pro) doesn't support the SSE technology but we can implement the SSE logic inside a Groovy Script test step.

    To do that, we can use any Java library that supports SSE. Here is an example:

    It works now 🙂

    Hey Rose,

    Its great that youve got your issue sorted but seeing as it doesnt look like anyone on the forums seen SSE stuff before, rather than just posting a link to a page and saying youve wrapped up the code in a groovy step, could you provide a bit more info as to your test case setup (was it just a single groovy test step containing java or multiple groovy steps? Etc.) and which code you implemented in the end as there are a couple of options described in the link.

    The lower level details would be invaluable to anyone else attempting to do this in the future.

    Cheers!

    Can you provide a solution of how to add a Groovy Script so that we can test SSE from SoapUI.  The link that was provided is interesting but does not give enough detail to add the test.
