Mock Service test step help

Hi,   I'm having problems with the mock test step. I have a service that sends requests to the soap ui mock service. When i start the mock service itself, it receive the request successfully and ...

    Well... i found what the problem was...

    The problem was that my service sent the request too fast, so by the time the mock step was started the request was already sent.

    I looked in the properties of the mock step and found a field called "Start Step" which was empty.

    I selected the 1st step(which is the initial request) and re tested and it works!

     

    Thanks a lot for trying to help, and sorry for wasting your time... :(

Thanks for your reply, but I know that already :)

 

I mention that so it will be clear that when it's the mock running, my service is sending the request successfully, and when it's the mock test step, it fails. But I am not running it on the same time.

I have no idea where the problem could be...

Ok, sorry, I did think you might know that! :-)

 

So does the MockResponse TestStep start up OK? Can you see it running?

 

If so, when running the TestCase, in the SoapUI log tab you should see something like:

 

Wed Jul 13 09:34:07 BST 2016:INFO:Mounted WSDL for interface [InvoicePortBinding] at [/?WSDL]
Wed Jul 13 09:34:07 BST 2016:INFO:Started mockService [SOAP Mock Response] on port [7001] at path [/]

 

And the icon of the MockResponse TestStep should be animated.

 

Thanks,
Rup

    Hi,

     

     

    My test is combined of 2 steps.

    1st step is sending the request to my service, the 2nd step is the mock step to receive it.

    When i launch the test, 1st step is sending the request, i see in my service log that it was sent and the 2nd step in soap ui test is animated, but i don't have the lines you wrote in the log. Which log should I see it in?

    I have the test log but all i have printed there is the 1st step:

    • Test started at 2016-07-13 14:03:54.571
    • Step 1 [Heartbeat - Request 1] UNKNOWN: took 16 ms

     

    I don't see any other log...

     

    Thanks

      Hi,

       

      OK, maybe I can see what you are trying to do now, is it that you want the mock to trigger/fulfill the MockResponse TestStep?

       

      If so then, you cannot get the mock to directly do it without scripting some kind of call back from the mock - does this make sense? If this is what you want here is a way to do it:

       

      https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/How-to-simulate-an-asynchronous-web-service-with-mock-services/m-p/98348/highlight/true#M17494

       

      The SoapUI Log tab is the first log tab on the left.

       

      Regards,

      Rupert

        Not sure I understood what you wrote there.

        I want the mock response step just to receive the incoming message from my web service, just as the soapUI mockservice does.

        Do i still need a script for that?
