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

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 ğŸ˜‰.

    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.

     

    David.

    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.

     

    Cheers,

      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())
      }
