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 Te...

    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.

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())
}

    Hi David,

     

    Here is my final code, which generates requests with .txt extension.

    def testStepName = file.getName()

     just to trim the .txt extension

    def testStepName = file.name.take(file.name.lastIndexOf('.'))

    //Final Code

     

    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("Request 1");

    // now get all the request from a specific location...

    // your 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.name.take(file.name.lastIndexOf('.')) // to trim the .txt extension
    // 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())
    }
