Get value from variable (in mock service script)

Hi,

I have mock service with 2 responses.
If value in request coincides with value in variable I want to use first response, if not coincides - 2nd response.
I wrote the following script in mock service:
def a=context.testCase.testSuite.project.getPropertyValue('RegNO') // I have 'RegNo' variable in TestSuite and want to get value from it
if (holder["//*:RegNo"]=='a') // I check if value in my request (<RegNo>value</RegNo>) coincides with 'a'
return "Response 1"
else  
return "Response2"

The following error appears:
com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.mock.DispatchException: Failed to dispatch using script; java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get property 'testSuite' on null object

Can you say please, how to use TestSuite variables in mock service scripts? Thanks.

    I don't think that the Mock Service has the test run context. Try this:

    def a = mockRunner.mockService.project.getPropertyValue('RegNO')

    Thanks for reply, but it does not work:

    def holder = new com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder( mockRequest.requestContent )
    def a=mockRunner.mockService.testSuite.project.getPropertyValue('RegNO')
    if (holder["//*:RegNo"]=='a')
     return "Response 1"
    else  
    return "MockResponse 2"

    Where have you placed this code? Do you see mockRunner as an available object above and to the left of the script area?

    Maybe this?

    def a = mockOperation.mockService.project.getPropertyValue('RegNO')

    That's a problem with what you are trying to pass to the XmlHolder. When you run the script from the editor, there is no requestContent. It should work when you actually run the service and submit a request.

    The problem is that I need to check not mockrequest but request from testCase.
    I have tried to write it like this:
    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("GetVehicleDetails#Request") // I need to check RegNo field from GetVehicleDetails request (GetVehicleDetails is teststep in testCase)
    def a = mockOperation.mockService.project.getPropertyValue('RegNO')
    if (holder["//*:RegNo"]=='a') // I need to compare value from GetVehicleDetails request (in RegNo tag) and value from variable RegNO (a)
    return "Response 1"
    else  
    return "MockResponse 2"

    I am quite confused, I thought you were trying to compare a value at the project level with a value in the incoming request. If you are trying to get a value from a test step from within the Mock Service you need to reference it the same way you did the project property, something like:

    def request = mockOperation.mockService.project.getTestSuiteByName('MyTestSuite').getTestCaseByName('MyTestCase').getTestStepByName('GetVehicleDetailsRequest').testRequest.requestContent
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(request)

    If there is an easier way I would be glad to know it.

    Also, you seem to be using the value 'a' in your comparison instead of the variable a. I think it should be 

    if (holder["//*:RegNo"]==a)
