ReadyAPI: How to add query parameters to an URL as a Resource
Hi,
Setup of my testcase is a groovy script that needs to read a URL and find a particular beId.
When found, that parameter is saved on Project Level in 'Customer Property'.
A second part of the code need to fetch that parameter from the Project Level and add it to the same URL.
What I have so far:
//cfr. https://www.leveluplunch.com/groovy/examples/get-webpage-content-url-uri/
//https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Pro/How-to-Parse-a-JSON-Response-Using-Groovy-Examples/td-p/155770
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
def getConceptSchemes = "https://pdc.dig.ta.belgium.be/api/pdc/concepts/schemes".toURL().getText()
//parse json string using JsonSlurper - basically converts it to a groovy list
def parsedJson = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(getConceptSchemes)
//get data
def findAGC = parsedJson.find { it.name == 'ACTIVITY_GROUP' }
//log.info "result for specific beID: " + findAGC
log.info (findAGC.beId)
log.info (findAGC.language)
//put beid in request parameter
//cfr. https://www.soapui.org/scripting-properties/tips-tricks.html
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.setPropertyValue('param_beid', findAGC.beId )
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.setPropertyValue('param_lang', findAGC.language )
//add the beId to the URL and put it in the REST request
//cfr; : https://kousenit.org/2011/11/02/converting-groovy-maps-to-query-strings/
def base = "https://pdc.dig.ta.belgium.be/api/pdc/concepts/schemes"
def params = [beId:findAGC.beId]
def sendToURL = base + params.collect{k,v -> '$k=$v'}.join('&')
What I get as result:
the beId in logfile and a popupwindow that only gives me the [$k=$v] in the URL in a script. (see screenshot)
What I want:
beId saved on PropertyLevel (=OK)
beId fetched from PropertyLevel and in URL from RESTRequest but as a Resource, it needs to be as a parameter IN the URL AS a resource. So actually I should have something like this:
https://pdc.dig.ta.belgium.be/api/pdc/concepts/schemes?beId=79ebe16a-da8b-4ce4-a388-c8b2287a2238
where beId = $k and the UUID=$v
Does anyone have an idea how to do this please?
Thanks in advance.
richie OK, I found the solution on my own! :-)
Setup a Project in ReadyAPI with
* 1 TestSuite
* 1 TestCase
* 2 teststeps: 1 Groovy and 1 REST Request
copy this code in the groovy (it seems like a lot but it's not. I've just added a lot of comments for later or someone else)
//cfr. https://www.leveluplunch.com/groovy/examples/get-webpage-content-url-uri/ //https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Pro/How-to-Parse-a-JSON-Response-Using-Groovy-Examples/td-p/155770 import groovy.json.JsonSlurper /*=========================================================================================================*/ //declare your parameters on Project level. In this case I have declared 2 parameters: beId and language. //don't fill in anything. /*==========================================================================================================*/ def getConceptSchemes = "https://pdc.dig.ta.belgium.be/api/pdc/concepts/schemes".toURL().getText() //parse json string using JsonSlurper - basically converts it to a groovy list def parsedJson = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(getConceptSchemes) //get data def findAGC = parsedJson.find { it.name == 'ACTIVITY_GROUP' } log.info (findAGC.beId) log.info (findAGC.language) //fill in beid-value in PropertyValue 'param_beid' //cfr. https://www.soapui.org/scripting-properties/tips-tricks.html testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.setPropertyValue('param_beid', findAGC.beId ) testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.setPropertyValue('param_lang', findAGC.language )In your 'Rest Request' not necessary to add a parameter. Except if you want it to be added to the parameters of the URL.
Go to the tab 'Projects', select the webservice that is linked to your Project, go to its Endpoint and add this in the resource of the URL:
beId=${#Project#param_beid}beId = the parameter that should be looked for by the URL
Project = Soapcall, don't change this!
param_beid = the parameter that I defined on Project level for my parameter.
If you run the Groovy test step and the request test step you will see the response.
EDIT:
This is a possibility for if the file doesn't use rootnames or space declarations!
