Hi,

 

Sorry to hop in, but its an interesting topic!

 

I guess by SoapUI JavaScript documentation this is all there is https://www.soapui.org/scripting---properties/scripting-and-the-script-library.html#4-JavaScript-support - unless anyone has seen anything else?

 

I did a bit of experimenting, by trying to run the following script in a Groovy TestStep which I think is valid JavaScript, but not valid Groovy (please correct me if wrong):

 

function sayHello() {
    var sayUsingLog = function() { log.info(message); }
    // Local variable that ends up within closure
    var message = 'Hello!';
    return sayUsingLog;
}

sayHello()();

If I set the project's Script Language = JavaScript I get:

 

JavaScript Execution.png

Which works.

But if I change the projects Script Language back to Groovy, it fails with:

Groovy Execution.png

Important Note - I think there is an annoying bug, to get the project's Script Language change to take affect I had to either restart SoapUI or close/reopen the project!

 

I also tried a simple Script Assertion using the below example which is valid as both Groovy and JavaScript:

var response = messageExchange.response.contentAsString;

log.info (response);

That worked as JavaScript too.

 

Are there any specific scripts that you want to do that you can't get to work?

 

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Rupert
