I'm using Template Resource Parameters on my REST Resource and I need to use the completed the URL that is sent in the HTTP Header as part of my authentication routine.My endpoint is http://www.company.comMy Resource Path is /ws/app/search/{Query}http://www.company.com/ws/app/search/QueryIf my query string is acmeI need http://www.company.com/ws/app/search/acmeThe template substitution is working ok but I was wondering if I can get the complete URL in Groovy?I've had a look through the soapUI AP docs but get a bit lostI've written some code that can work with QUERY type parameters, but now I want to test with a different type of URLhttpRequest = testStep.testRequestpropertyHolder = httpRequest.getParams() if(propertyHolder){ queryString = getQueryString(httpRequest,propertyHolder) }else{ queryString = "" }def getQueryString(httpRequest,propertyHolder){ queryString = "?" for( properties in propertyHolder){ //log.info "Name is ${properties.key}" value1 = properties.key value = httpRequest.getProperty("${value1}").getValue() if(value){ if(queryString.length() == 1){ queryString = queryString + properties.key + "=" + value }else{ queryString = queryString + "&" + properties.key + "=" + value } } } log.info "queryString is $queryString" return queryString}

Hi!Where in soapUI (what tab) do you use this Groovy Script?-- RegardsErikSmartBear Sweden

The Groovy Script is a Test Step that iterates through the (sibling) test steps in this Test Case and sets the headers for each Test Step.I'm not sure how it 'runs' each test step once it's set the headersMaybe because the Test Step hasn't been run at the point this script is working, the URL (and parameters etc) hasn't been interpreted yet.I though there might/must be a function/method/routine that figures out what the complete URL is going to be when a Test Step runs, and I could use that rather than write my own one using regex's (or something) in a language I'm not familiar with.thanks for reading Erik

Hi!I believe that it would be preferable if you instead of using a Groovy Script TestStep used a RequestFilter.filterRequest event handler.This should lessen the risk of the parameters being shuffled. If they still are, I believe you unfortunately, have to put the params in a map and sort it before signing the URL.Does this make scene to you?-- RegardsErikSmartBear Sweden

Hi thanks for the replyIt makes sense, but I think it's over my head (beyond my Java skills)There isn't a RequestFilter button on the TestSteps Editor screenI've found thishttp://www.soapui.org/apidocs/com/eviwa ... ilter.htmlBut I don't know how to use it if I'm not calling it from a Groovy script?The problem with sorting the parameters is I don't know where the sort is stored or how to access that field, it could be within the generated WADL or when you view the parameters in the bottom left corner window and move them up and down or sort alphabetically.I'd like to have a function/method that doesn't need to know what the parameter names are before it can write them out, then I can reuse that function with all my tests on my Different Resources (who each have different parameter requirements).Or else I have to write a different function for each Resource test - not good for code reuse or fixing bugs etcFrom my Groovy script:Path is now /data/app/ws/rest/companies/role/search/v1.0?page=2&q=smith&type=DIR&size=3From the RequestPath is now /data/app/ws/rest/companies/role/search/v1.0?page=2&q=smith&size=3&type=DIRI haven't noticed but does the Request parameters always come out alphabetically? Is the Sort only used to show in the fields in the GUI like the Form for the Rest Test Request?thanks

Retrieving the completed REST URL in Groovy

httpRequest = testStep.testRequest
propertyHolder = httpRequest.getParams()

if(propertyHolder){
queryString = getQueryString(httpRequest,propertyHolder)
}else{
queryString = ""
}

def getQueryString(httpRequest,propertyHolder){
queryString = "?"
for( properties in propertyHolder){
//log.info "Name is ${properties.key}"
value1 = properties.key
value = httpRequest.getProperty("${value1}").getValue()
if(value){
if(queryString.length() == 1){
queryString = queryString + properties.key + "=" + value
}else{
queryString = queryString + "&" + properties.key + "=" + value
}
}
}
log.info "queryString is $queryString"
return queryString
}

Finally found the answer!
http://www.soapui.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7016

I just had to ask the right question

def method = context.getProperty( "requestUri" )
// log the complete URI
log.info( "this is it " + method.URI.toString() )

(this thread isn't resolved properly yet, but I can't find the edit Title link)

the requestUri trick only works if you use a Templated variable URI >:(

If you have parameter query type variables then I'm back to finding or defining the proper/consistant sort order for them before I calculate the signature for my REST request.

It's not always alphabetic and I haven't found where it's stored (if anywhere)

What if you in a RequestFilter.filterRequest add:

log.info context.httpMethod.getURI()

YES!

that's it Erik, thank you so much

I had manged to sort() the params value before I used them, but I haven't tested enough URIs to be sure it always comes out alphabetically.

requestPath = context.getProperty( "requestUri" )
            //log.info  "requestPath is ${requestPath}"
            pathToSign = requestPath.URI.toString()
            params = context.getProperty("httpResponseProperties")
            //log.info  "Params is ${params}"      
           
           path =  request.getPath();
           //log.info  "Path is ${path}"
           if ( path =~ '''}'''){
            //log.info("Do Nothing")
           }else{
            
            def queryString = "?"
   request.params.sort().each{ param ->
     if((queryString.length() != 1) && (param.value.value != '') )      
      queryString += "&${param.value.name}=${param.value.value}"
      
   //testString = "${param.value.value}"
   else if (param.value.value != ''){
    queryString += "${param.value.name}=${param.value.value}"
   }
   }
   pathToSign += queryString
           }
