have one requirement to automate in SOAP UI Open sourceWhere I need to hit a https url and after hitting the url I need to download a json file for further useI am able to login and browse the file location by using Basic Authorization.In response, I can see the files name in html format.But further I wanted to download the file in local machine or to see a content of the file in the soap UI response so that assertions can be added.Please suggest if there is any other approach in soap UI where we can download a file or see a content of file after hitting the https URL.

Hi sparrowenclave, Here is a sample script to browse a directory containing json files and open each to find a specific node. import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.nio.file.Files; import java.nio.file.Path; import java.nio.file.Paths; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode; import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper; import static java.util.stream.Collectors.toList; File newFile; String FolderPath = "<insert your path here>"; File selectedDirectory = new File(FolderPath); List<Path> paths = new ArrayList<>(); try { paths = Files.walk(Paths.get(new File(selectedDirectory.getPath()) .getAbsolutePath())) .filter(p -> p.toFile().isFile()) .collect(toList()); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } for (Path path : paths) { newFile = new File(path.toString()); ObjectMapper mapperFileSource = new ObjectMapper(); JsonNode rootNode = null; try { rootNode = mapperFileSource.readTree(newFile); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } JsonNode searchNode = rootNode.findValue("<insert a node name here>"); if (searchNode != null) { log.info(searchNode.textValue()); // You can add assertions here } } It is just an example of what can be done.Keep in min you'll need jackson's library.Hope this will help.

Hey sparrowenclave,I havent tried this myself, but nmrao posted a solution to doing this via groovy in ReadyAPI! so i'm assuming as its groovy you should be able to do it in open source SoapUI.Nice oneRich

sparrowenclave Please have a look at https://community.smartbear.com/t5/API-Functional-Security-Testing/Trying-to-download-attachment-in-response/m-p/207891#M47444. Note: Where I was used "REST" in above link, in your case it will be "HTTP".

Hi richieI saw the solution given by nmraobut got struckafter finding the particular file name in the response, do we need to add "/download" into our url for downloading?If any of you can elaborate, it will be great help.Because ,I can see in response html structure is coming with file name but how to download them or see the contents of file is the problemStruck parthttp://fsb-adm1-ta.names.belgium.be:XXXX/palngv3debug/download/" + it.text()def url = "http://fsb-adm1-ta.names.belgium.be:XXX/palngv3debug/download/" + it.text()

HiIt will be helpful when I will receive attachment in the response, but in my case I need to download it from browser after hitting the API request.Anyhow your solution may found helpful in future API testing

    Hey sparrowenclave
    
    Apologies if my reaponse didnt actually give you a way of downloading a file from a webpage. I saw Rao had answered that particular post and he really knows his stuff, so i thought that was what you needed (i didnt actually check content of post).
    
    I'll continue to look around cos i would like to know how to do this too (for possible future).
    
    Cheers
