[Resolved] Validate Request

Hi Nico,

What are you trying to validate? That you're getting a valid XML response, or something else.

Generally, you will use assertions to validate the contents of the request. If you're not familiar with this concept, here's a good introduction: http://www.soapui.org/Functional-Testin ... tions.html

Hope this helps!

Hi Manne,

I want to do a schema compliance - check for the request.
Out of the box, soapUI Pro only offers me a schema compliance assertion for responses.

Best regards

Sorry, I missed that you were talking about *requests*, even though I wrote "requests" myself.

Validate Request is an editor preference, so unfortunately this will not prevent requests from being sent by testrunner.bat, unfortunately. Isn't it possible for you to validate your requests in the GUI as you add them? They should then be valid when they are submitted by the test runner.

Hi Manne,

we have a very special strategy, as we are automatically writing the request to the soapUI project-file and executing the testcase, all without using the UI.
So.. no I cannot validate the testcase before, as it will be generated just before it is executed.

Is there a simple way, scripting an assertion to check the schema of the request?

Best regards

Hi,

You can see an example of that script here: http://www.soapui.org/Scripting-Propert ... t-the-wsdl

Hi Michael,

thanks a lot.
That was (almost) exactly what I was looking for.
I only had to change the code a little bit, to load the wsdl during test execution (not using the cached one).

Best regards
