Groovy: Fails to Display Request Status

I am building a Groovy script to read an external file and execute a testStep one by one. Somehow log.info can successfully display the data (basicMSISDN, NAM, etc) of the XML response but not the r...

    Oh, I got what you are point now.

     

    You are trying to access the attributes of a node. The xpath is incorrect, that is why data is not shown for you.

    Attributes are accessed using @Attribute

     

    Here is another simple way of accessing xml data using XmlSlurper. If you notice, the data is accessed dot(.) after node name, then dot (.) and node name like how we see.

    NOTE: you can replace printf with log.info

Working now.  THANKS, Rao.

 

This is what I did:

def xmlResponse = tStep.getPropertyValue("Response")
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(xmlResponse)
def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xmlResponse)

def MESSAGE1 = xml.Body.getImsiDataResponse.@resultCode.text()
def MESSAGE2 = xml.Body.getImsiDataResponse.@message.text()
def MESSAGE3 = holder.getNodeValue("/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/ns2:getImsiDataResponse/imsiData/basicMsisdn")
def MESSAGE4 = holder.getNodeValue("/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/ns2:getImsiDataResponse/imsiData/serviceProfile/nam")
def MESSAGE5 = holder.getNodeValue("/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/ns2:getImsiDataResponse/imsiData/serviceProfile/roamingProfileId")
def MESSAGE6 = holder.getNodeValue("/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/ns2:getImsiDataResponse/imsiData/serviceProfile/odbProfileId")
//   def MESSAGE6 = xml.Body.getImsiDataResponse.imsiData.serviceProfile.odbProfileId.text()

 

log.info " Seq="+i+" "+data[0]+" Result: "+MESSAGE1+", "+MESSAGE2+", "+MESSAGE3+", "+MESSAGE4+" "+MESSAGE5+" "+MESSAGE6
report << "\n"+"Seq="+i+" "+sdf.format(log_date)+"|"+data[0]+"|Result: "+MESSAGE1+" "+MESSAGE2+" "+MESSAGE3+" "+MESSAGE4+ " "+MESSAGE5+" "+MESSAGE6

 

I noticed that if a parameter does not exist in the response:

if I use holder.getNodeValue, MESSAGE6 would display "null".  (I prefer this, more precise)

if I use xml.Body..., MESSAGE6 would display nothing.

Is this normal?

    xml.Body contain another node, but not node value.

      Thanks again, Rao.

       

      My API script contains a few XML requests and below is the response:

       

      <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
      <soap:Body>
      <ns2:changeSdmDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success" xmlns:ns2="http://www.abcnumber.com/titan/sdm/soap/types">
      <sdmDataResponse flowId="1">
      <ns2:changeImsiDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success"/>
      </sdmDataResponse>
      <sdmDataResponse flowId="2">
      <ns2:changeMsisdnDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success"/>
      </sdmDataResponse>
      <sdmDataResponse flowId="3">
      <ns2:changeImsSubscriberDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success"/>
      </sdmDataResponse>
      <sdmDataResponse flowId="4">
      <ns2:changeImsPrivateUserDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success"/>
      </sdmDataResponse>
      <sdmDataResponse flowId="5">
      <ns2:changeImsPublicUserDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success"/>
      </sdmDataResponse>
      <sdmDataResponse flowId="6">
      <ns2:changeImsPublicUserDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success"/>
      </sdmDataResponse>
      <sdmDataResponse flowId="7">
      <ns2:changeImsPublicUserDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success"/>
      </sdmDataResponse>
      <sdmDataResponse flowId="8">
      <ns2:changeImsSubscriberDataResponse resultCode="0" message="success"/>
      </sdmDataResponse>
      </ns2:changeSdmDataResponse>
      </soap:Body>

       

      My Groovy:

      ...

      ...

      def xmlResponse = tStep.getPropertyValue("Response")
      def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(xmlResponse)
      def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xmlResponse)

      def MESSAGE1 = xml.Body.changeSdmDataResponse.@resultCode.text()
      def MESSAGE2 = xml.Body.changeSdmDataResponse.sdmDataResponse.changeImsiDataResponse.@resultCode.text()
      def MESSAGE3 = xml.Body.changeSdmDataResponse.sdmDataResponse.changeMsisdnDataResponse.@resultCode.text()
      def MESSAGE4 = xml.Body.changeSdmDataResponse.sdmDataResponse.changeImsSubscriberDataResponse.@resultCode.text()
      def MESSAGE5 = xml.Body.changeSdmDataResponse.sdmDataResponse.changeImsPrivateUserDataResponse.@resultCode.text()
      def MESSAGE6 = xml.Body.changeSdmDataResponse.sdmDataResponse.changeImsPublicUserDataResponse.@resultCode.text()

      log.info " Seq="+i+" "+data[0]+", "+data[1]+" Result: ["+MESSAGE1+"] "+MESSAGE2+" "+MESSAGE3+" "+MESSAGE4+" "+MESSAGE5+" "+MESSAGE6

      ...

      ...

       

      In the request, I have to execute changeImsPublicUserData 3 times and changeImsSubscriberDataResponse 2 times (in a specific sequence but with different values).

      Log record:   Tue Jun 22 21:05:02 EDT 2021:INFO: Seq=0 302330000006120, 12313140097 Result: [0] 0 0 00 0 000

      In the response, since the 3 changeImsPublicUserData requests were all successfully, the log file show "000" (Zero means success).

       

      Since there is no distinction of the 3 responses of changeImsPublicUserData, I guess there is no way to display it in a better way, right?

      Ideally, I like to see Result: [0] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  or Result: [0] 0 0 0-0 0 0-0-0

      Any suggestions?

        Here is little optimized, but it may need you to spend little time to understand. Groovy code is easily readable though.

         

         

        //Parse response
def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xmlResponse)

//Closure to show the details of the item as input data
def showDetails = { item ->
    def sdms = xml.'**'.findAll {it.name() == item }*.parent()
    sdms.each { 
        log.info "${item} ==> FlowId: ${it.@flowId}, ResultCode: ${it."$item".@resultCode}, Message: ${it."$item".@message}"
    }    
}
//show all the changeImsPublicUserDataResponse
showDetails('changeImsPublicUserDataResponse')

//show all the changeImsSubscriberDataResponse
showDetails('changeImsSubscriberDataResponse')

         

        .
