Modifying Request Attachment through Groovy

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a way to modify an attachment of a request through a groovy script. I need to add some data to the attachment obtained from a prior test Step.

I could probably modify the file representing the attachment in the filesystem and not cache it in the request, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do that.

Has anybody already done something like this and can shed some light (share some code  ) on this ?

    Hello,

    In the upcoming nightly build of soapUI there are some new methods defined for the Attachment object. These are getData and setData which return and take a byte[]. This allows you to modify the attachment data in memory (without changing the file in the filesystem). In groovy you could access this using:


    testRunner.testCase.testSteps['Your Request Name'].httpRequest.getAttachmentAt(0).data


    which is both readable and writable. Good luck!

    Regards,
