    Hi rupert,

     

    Thanks for replying back again. This is how I need to do ...

     

    I first created a Empty Project > Mock Service. Underneath this, created a Mock action 'POST' (resource path being: /rest/login). Underneath this, a JSON mock response added. So when I run the mock service with resource path I get the json mock response directly. Now, in addition to the resource path I am trying to add a request body (also in Json), something like this {"username": "admin", "password": "admin"}. 

    Then, I wrote a script which must alter the Accept Header Field in request body, as well as append the json message to the request body and calculate the Content-Length the request body.

     

    import java.lang.*
    import java.util.*
    import java.io.*
    import java.net.*
    import groovy.lang.*
    import groovy.util.*
    import javax.servlet.http.*
    def groovyUtils=new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
    import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
    import com.eviware.soapui.model.iface.*
    log.info("response="+mockRequest)
    def query = mockRequest.getRequest()
    //log.info(query)

    def ContentType = mockRequest.getRequest().getHeader("Content-Type").toString()
    //log.info(ContentType)
    def ContentLength = mockRequest.getRequest().getHeader("Content-Length").toString()
    //log.info(ContentLength)
    def Accept = mockRequest.getRequest().getHeader("Accept").toString()
    //log.info(Accept)
    def method = mockRequest.getMethod().toString()
    //log.info(method)
    def path = mockRequest.getPath().toString()
    //log.info(path)

    jsonAsText = '''{ "username": admin, "password": admin, "device-token": AA}'''
    //log.info(jsonAsText)

    def RequestBody = method +" " +path + '\n' + "Content-Type: "+ContentType + '\n' + "Accept: "+Accept + '\n' + "Content-Length: "+ContentLength + '\n' + '\n' + jsonAsText
    log.info(RequestBody)

    RequestBody.setRequestContent
    return "JSON"

     

    How do I alter the request body before returning the JSON response ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

OK, I think I must have got the wrong take on what you are trying to do.

 

So, you say you are creating a mock response... I took this as creating a response for a standard SoapUI REST Mock?

 

Where you want to add the Accept header using groovy, do you instead mean that you want to use SoapUI and Groovy to make a REST request to a mock and want to add the Accept header using Groovy? 

 

Please explain a little more of what you are trying to do.

 

Thanks,

Rupert

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for the extra details - I noticed you've mark the post as solved? Did you mean to do that?

     

    Despite, all the details provided making sense, I think I am maybe not clear with the terminology of what you are asking (sorry if I am missing something). It sounds like you are actually asking how to set the Response body in the script (content that the mock responds with as part of the HTTP response)?

     

    So, one way to do this is to set:

    mockResponse.responseContent=JSON String....
mockResponse.responseHttpStatus=200

    You can also set the response body using property expansions e.g.

     

    Set requestContext variables (in your script):

requestContext["responseId"] = requestInvoiceId
requestContext["responseCompany"] = requestCompanyName
requestContext["responseAmount"] = requestAmount

And have a response of (like your response called JSON):

{"invoice": {
        "id": ${responseId},
        "companyName": "${responseCompany}",
        "amount": ${responseAmount}
}}

    Sorry, if this is not what you want and I am answering a different question!

     

    Thanks,

    Rupert
