[SOLVED]best way to get at/transfer contents of an AMF Request Step's response?

I have a test case sending a request to a secured AMF endpoint. The request returns an ASObject:


 
   
   
     
        0.75
        12
     
      16
      9
      contactRowId
      1-2P2K00
      billing
      true
      vendorContactOnly
      false
      vendorAdmin
      false
      admin
      true
   
   
     
        false
        false
        net.co.sb.dto.ContactDTO
     
   
 


I'd like to use some of these strings for later test steps. Is there a way to parse this AMF response/ASObject from a Groovy Script step, similar to how we'd parse an XML response?

I did try creating a Property Transfer from the AMF response, but the Property Transfer step is created without the Property, Transferred Value's source property is always missing.

    Hi!

    Sorry for the delayed response, we are working on exposing the XML as a response property (just like for the other teststeps), the fix will hopefully be in the upcoming nightly build... sorry to keep you waiting.

    regards!

    Yes! With nightly build from 2/5/2010 I can transfer AMF response content to properties steps, and other amf requests.

    It's easy enough to get at the AMF response from a Groovy script using the getXmlHolder method..

    Simply use the responseAsXML property instead of the response property:

    E.G.

    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtilsPro( context )
    def response = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "amf-request-get-contacts#responseAsXML" )
    def quota = response.getNodeValue("//object-array[1]/flex.messaging.io.amf.ASObject[1]/map[1]/string[8]")

    What I like to do from there is save the property to a properties step:

    def props = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("properties")
    def user_quota = props.setPropertyValue("quota", quota);

    And then set up the AMF request's method argument to evaluate to the property:

    ${properties#quota}

    If the AMF request needs an object for the method argument, you can grab responseAsXML contents via the AMF step's from the script editor.
