Rewriting HTTP RequestStep response

Question

I'd like to know if it would be possible to rewrite the response for an HTTP RequestStep with a script in the RequestFilter.afterRequest event.

I want to be able to apply assertions to an XML that I would construct via Groovy SQL from a database without needing to have a Mock Service.

If this is possible a small example would be appreciated.

(What I am really missing is some kind of generic Assertion step which could be applied to any request, data source, property, script result, etc. with the appropriate assertion types.)

Thanks.

Hi!sure its possible.. add a SubmitListener.afterSubmit event with (for example)if( submit.response == null )&nbsp;  return// get existing responsedef content = submit.response.responseContentcontent = ...log.info( content )submit.response.responseContent =&nbsp; contentDoes that suffice?regards!/Oleeviware.com

I tried the sample you provided, but the result in the Response window is still the original responseContent.

I've made a fix for this which will be in the upcoming nightly build. With the new build, use the following RequestFilter.afterRequest (NOTE: not SubmitListener.afterSubmit) script:



if( context.httpResponse == null )
 return

// get existing response

def content = context.httpResponse.responseContent
content = ...

log.info content
context.httpResponse.responseContent = content

I'm using SOAPUI 3.6.1 and I'm trying to run tests in a REST based project.

This code works when I run the test step all by itself:


if( context.httpResponse == null )
   return
   
def content = context.httpResponse.responseContent

assert content.ResponseStatusCode != 201

But when I try to run the test step by running the test case that contains the test step, I get
this error:

Cannot get property 'ResponseStatusCode' on null object

I just want to test if the response status code is 201.

What am I doing wrong?
