ClassCastException - getProperty() used with array

Hello,

In a groovy script step I have this code:

def sides = ["value1", "value2"];
context.setProperty("sides", sides);


And in a listener (java code complied to a jar) I want to access each element of my array. But I don't know the correct syntax.

I tried this without success:

String[] sides = (String[]) runContext.getProperty("sides");


This code causes the following error in the testcase log:

TestCase failed [java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList:java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArraytList], time taken = 28387


The solution is probably easy but I'm not familiar with SoapUI casting and I've not found any specific method for array properties in the API.

Thanks in advance,
Arnaud

    Hi,

    I've found the problem .. It was a very strange problem ...
    I've simply inversed the two following lines:

    List sides = (List) runContext.getProperty("sides");
    String senderSideStatus, receiverSideStatus;


    I suppose it's a bug in SoapUI or Java because it's not very logic I think

    Bye,
    Arnaud.

    Hi!

    the object returned is a java.util.List, try using that type instead!

    Now I use
    List<String> sides = (List<String>) runContext.getProperty("sides");
    String side1 = (String) sides.get(0);
    String side2 = (String) sides.get(1);


    But SoapUi doesn't launch. It shows the following error in the command prompt:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: Field "side1" in class soapui/testStep/TestStepListener has illegal signature "append" ...


    I really don't understand the problem. This code causes no error in Eclipse ..

    Hi,

    strange! Try doing this without generics? ie

    List sides = (List) runContext.getProperty("sides");
    String side1 = (String) sides.get(0);
    String side2 = (String) sides.get(1);

    How are you compiling this class?

    Hi,

    Your method doesn't work ..
    I compile this class normally I think. Without these lines my script works ...

    Hi,

    I'm sorry, I have no idea what could be causing this.. can you show your entire class?

    Hi,

    Here my class:

    package soapui.testStep;

    import java.util.List;

    import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestRunContext;
    import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestRunListener;
    import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestRunner;
    import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestStepResult;
    import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestStepResult.TestStepStatus;

    public class TestStepListener implements TestRunListener {
        public void beforeRun(TestRunner testRunner, TestRunContext runContext) { }

        public void afterRun(TestRunner testRunner, TestRunContext runContext) { }

        public void beforeStep(TestRunner testRunner, TestRunContext runContext) { }

        public void afterStep(TestRunner testRunner, TestRunContext runContext, TestStepResult result) {
            if (result.getStatus()==TestStepStatus.FAILED) {
    //            List sides = (List) runContext.getProperty("sides");
                String senderSideStatus, receiverSideStatus;

    //            senderSideStatus   = (String) runContext.getProperty("expected" + (String) sides.get(0) + "ModelStatus");
    //            receiverSideStatus = (String) runContext.getProperty("expected" + (String) sides.get(1) + "ModelStatus");
                senderSideStatus   = (String) runContext.getProperty("expected" + (String) runContext.getProperty("side0") + "ModelStatus");
                receiverSideStatus = (String) runContext.getProperty("expected" + (String) runContext.getProperty("side1") + "ModelStatus");


                if (runContext.getCurrentStep().getName().equals("receiveRequest") && (senderSideStatus.equals("Failed") || (senderSideStatus.equals("Started") && receiverSideStatus.equals("Failed")))) {
                    // Test must fail so it is OK
                } else {
                    runContext.setProperty("testFailed", true);
                    runContext.setProperty("testStepName", runContext.getCurrentStep().getName());
                    runContext.setProperty("testStepErrors", testRunner.getResults().get(runContext.getCurrentStepIndex()).getMessages());
                }

                testRunner.gotoStepByName("Loop to next properties file");
            }
        }
    }


    I hope this will help you to help me
