Validate String in Groovy

I have a series of scripts that run and do the following: Create Null Test Steps Parse an entire existing SOAP test step and use groovy to build what we call NULL tests. This takes every field...

That's something I can take a look at, and I'll admit I wasn't aware there was a schema compliance assertion for requests. Ultimately what I'd like to do is to check an XML request I have generated into a string in my groovy script against the wsdl/schema.

 

I'll check out that assertion though and see if it helps.

Sorry, I take it back. I thought your question was to apply validation on the response. Looks you want to do it on request.

If you are ok, there is a preference which does the validation for each output request. But, that may be a set back, becuase, you want to try negative condition ie.., send invalid request and see how server side validations in place.

    It's actually a little more complicated than that. Ultimately, my groovy script is creating requests that are either schema valid or schema invalid. The only way I currently have to test that is to actually create the request with the groovy script, set it to the current string value request, and then test that request to see if it's valid.

     

    There's a lot of steps there and time taken. I want to cut out actually having to go through that if possible.

     

    My current main groovy script will create a request from a string. I want to actually schema-test that string, if possible, and never even create a request if it is not schema valid.
