    Are you able to see anything in response, in XML tab? In my case I see my response image(Encoded) in XML tab with encoded data. with Content type. If you can see like that, we can set it the dynamic file type by writing groovy script  with set property.

    File name you can give something which related to REST call name and file type(Just a work around).

    While trying to put groovy script 

    "def testStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName( "Request_1" )
    def response = testStep.testRequest.response

    def outFile = new java.io.FileOutputStream( "C:\\Users\\Documents\\myfile.jpg")
    def ins = response.attachments[0].inputStream

    com.eviware.soapui.support.Tools.writeAll( outFile, ins )
    ins.close()
    outFile.close()

    step  I am getting below error

     

    java.lang.ArraylndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 error at line: 5

     

     

    One more thing i want to mention my response itself is a document, and not an attachment. So basically i want to download response.

    below is my response.

      I'm sorry I forgot to mention In my first post, where we(In Dump file option) give local directory path to store the response, please mention file type(EX: .jpeg/pdf etc..). I tried for one REST call it did work for me.

       

      EX Path: C:\Users\Documents\myfile.jpg

        Yes , It did work , but now the problem is , it always write it in to same filename. The issue is the document which get in response has different name and filetype. So don't know how to make it dynamic.
