    Sorry to interrupt Rup.

    The details helped Apoorva.

     

    And this is my first try on mocking, followed the video from the same link that I provided earlier.

     

    Here are the steps:

     

    1. Generate a SOAP Mock Service by right click on to the service that you intended ( I believe, you know it already, added this for those who not aware, and this is first time for me too)

     

    2. Selete the intended mock operation.

    • Choose SCRIPT for Dispatch, Response 1 for Default Response
    • Open Response 1 and remove the existing reponse and just have ${content} as value for response
    • In the script editor have the following script:

     

    /*This script reads the salesOrderNumber from request using xpath
    * and checks corresponding response xml file from
    * mockResponses directory of your soapui project location.
    * Also expects a soapFault.xml file in the same location
    * in order to send soap fault if no sales order number maches the
    * existing files.
    * For example, soapui project located under C:\soapuiProjects
    * create a subdirectory called mockResponses under above directory
    * Make sure all your mock response files for sales orders under
    * C:\soapuiProjects\mockResponses directory including soapFault.xml
    * Assuming that the soap response file extension is xml, not txt
    */
    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context) def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(mockRequest.requestContent) def soNumber = holder.getNodeValue("//*:BillingOrderLoadRequest/*:salesOrderNumber") def file = new File (groovyUtils.projectPath+"/mockResponses/${soNumber}.xml") def fileToLoad = 'soapFault' if (file.exists()) { fileToLoad = soNumber } context.content = groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize(new XmlParser().parse(groovyUtils.projectPath+"/mockResponses/${fileToLoad}.xml"))

     

    Sample soapFault.xml

     

    <Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">   
       <Body>   
          <Fault>
             <faultcode xsi:type="xsd:string">Client</faultcode>		 
             <faultstring xsi:type="xsd:string">Could not find the mock response file for the given sales order number</faultstring>		 
          </Fault>
       </Body>   
    </Envelope>
