Hi Experts, I have a bunch of REST request messages in text format. Is there a way to import them to a SoapUI project?I want to import them and add as "Test Request" Test Step to an existing Test Case.

Hi Sarita, You were really close 😉.You should use "RestRequestStepFactory" instead of "NewRestRequestAction".Here is a script that worked for me: import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.registry.RestRequestStepFactory // get the current testCase to add testSteps later def tc = testRunner.testCase; // get the REST TestStep as template to create the other requests def tsTemplate = tc.getTestStepByName("REST Request"); // create the test step factory to use later //def testStepFactory = new NewRestRequestAction(); // now get all the request from a specific location... def directory = new File("C:\\Users\\xxxxxxxxx\\Documents\\xxxxxxxx") // for each file in the directory directory.eachFile{ file -> // use file name as test step name def testStepName = file.getName() // create the config def testStepConfig = RestRequestStepFactory.createConfig( tsTemplate.getTestRequest(), testStepName) // add the new testStep to TestCase def newTestStep = tc.insertTestStep( testStepConfig, -1 ) // set the request from the file content newTestStep.getTestRequest().setRequestContent(file.getText()) } Please tell us if the script is working for your case.

In SoapUI how to create multiple REST Requests via groovy script?

Hey Sarita

you cant just import a bunch of REST requests in text form - BUT - if your REST apis are described in a .wadl file (equivalent to a SOAP Services .wsdl), you can create a project from the .wadl and this will do what you need.

  Hi richie,
  Thank you for your reply.
  I am using REST API URI to create a Project in SoapUI. our REST API's are not described in a .wadl format. I am looking for a groovy script to create multiple requests. Trying the below groovy script, but I am getting error in my code: Looks like I am missing something in my code.
  
  import com.eviware.soapui.impl.rest.actions.method.NewRestRequestAction ;
  
  // get the current testCase to add testSteps later
  def tc = testRunner.testCase;
  // get the REST TestStep as template to create the other requests
  def tsTemplate = tc.getTestStepByName("Request 1");
  // create the test step factory to use later
  def testStepFactory = new NewRestRequestAction();
  // now get all the request from a specific location...
  def directory = new File("D:/.............................../")
  // for each file in the directory
  directory.eachFile{ file ->
  // use file name as test step name
  def testStepName = file.getName()
  // create the config
  def testStepConfig = testStepFactory.createConfig( tsTemplate.getTestRequest(), testStepName)
  // add the new testStep to TestCase
  def newTestStep = tc.insertTestStep( testStepConfig, -1 )
  // set the request from the file content
  newTestStep.getTestRequest().setRequestContent(file.getText())
  }
