[Resolved] Using SOAPUI to verify a URL exists

Hi!

If I understand you correctly, you want to call the URL provided in the response to make sure it's working.
Then I suggest that you solve this by using a property expansion in the HTTP TestStep Endpoint that contains an XPath to the URL in the Response property of the first calling TestStep.

The easiest way to create this property expansion is to use the Get Data.. right click menu somewhere where it's available, such as in a Groovy Script TestCase editor and then just navigate to the URL parameter.

Hope this helps!

Ok so I can access the url from the response within a groovy script with something like this:

def response = context.expand( '${REST Acquire Request#Response#//WebApiServlet.Response[1]/result[1]/cdnUrl[1]}' )
log.info("CDN URL is: ${response}")

Which I think is what you are suggesting. The log.info statement confirms that I am getting the cdnURL from the response that I am looking for.

So how do I send a request to that url now to check that it exists?

Thanks for your help

Hi again!

Just add ${REST Acquire Request#Response#//WebApiServlet.Response[1]/result[1]/cdnUrl[1]} as a new endpoint on a new HTTP TestStep.
