    Hi Rao,

    thank you for the answer, this helped me a lot! I ran your script and ran into problems with getting the response from messageExhange. So ditched the option to use it as an assert script and got the attachment from testrunner:

     

    def testStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName( "GetDataRequest" )
    def response = testStep.testRequest.response
    def attachments = response.attachments

     

    then I converted the attachment into String using your script:

    attachments[i].inputStream.text

     

    After this it was easy to extract the information I needed from the string. This is the script that is working for me:

    def testStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName( "GetDataRequest" )
def response = testStep.testRequest.response
def attachments = response.attachments
def attachmentCount = attachments.length

def myInvoiceID = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("GeneralProperties").getPropertyValue("InvoiceNumber")

assert attachmentCount > 1, "No invoice was returned by AN"

def attachmentContent
def invoiceID
def result = false

for(i=1; i< attachmentCount; i++) {
	attachmentContent = attachments[i].inputStream.text

	assert attachmentContent.contains("invoiceID"), "Invoice ID is missing"

	invoiceID = attachmentContent.split("invoiceID=")[1]
	invoiceID = invoiceID.split("\"")[1]	

	if (invoiceID.equals(myInvoiceID) ) {
		result = true
	}	
}

if(!result) {
	log.info("Invoice was not found. Going back to GetPending")
	testRunner.gotoStepByName( "Wait10s_2")
} else {
	log.info("Invoice was found. Proceeding with invoice acknowledgement")
}

     

    Thank you all for your contribution. Hope it helps somebody else sometime :)

Hi Samy,
thank you for the reply. However, there are a few catches. For one, the response doesn't display on the XML response viewer. It only displays on the "Raw" response tab, despite the first part having Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 in its header.

To answer your question:
1) The main message and its attachment are both XML documents (Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8 )
2) Yes, that is exactly what I want to do.

Ok, I don't insist on property transfer, I am ok with doing it with the Groovy script. Please, can you provide a sample how to access the MIME attachment via Groovy? Even as a plain text, I can parse it from there. I tried with the XMLHolder na ran into problems because of the MIME header.

 

My response, as displayed in the Raw response tab:

saska_filip,

Here is the script assertion that you are looking for. Core part of it taken from here

 

Note that the script could not be tested as I don't have such environment. Appreciate if you can try and post the outcome.

 

/**
* Get the attachment from the response and
* Set the attachment string as request for next/given step dynamically
* This assumes single attachment in current response
* Script can be used as script assertion
**/


/*you can use it as property expansion as well for below 
two properties if you do not want to modify here*/

//set the required content type of attachment
def expectedContentType = 'text/xml; charset=UTF-8'

//set the next request step name where dynamic request has to be created
def nextStepName='step2'

def actualContentType = messageExchange.responseAttachments[0].contentType

//assert if it is matching with response received
assert actualContentType == expectedContentType, "Content type is not matching to ${expectedContentType}"

//if the assertion is passed then only read the attachment text
def attachmentText = messageExchange.responseAttachments[0].inputStream.text

//assert the text of attachment is not null
assert attachmentText, "Attachment text is empty or null"

//Get the existing request for the next step
def nextStepRequest = context.testCase.getTestStepByName(nextStepName).getTestRequest()

//Set the dynamic value from the attachment text to next step request.
nextStepRequest.setRequestContent(attachmentText)
