    The groovy script for your goal is following:

     

    def f = new File('//server/path/test.txt')

if (f.exists()) {
	f.delete()
}

    You can use Javascript as well. SoapUI is a bit tricky with changing the scripting language. When I change from Groovy to Javascript (on project level), I can use Javascript. When I switch back to Groovy, the script is still executed as Javascript. 

     

    I had to close the test case editor and reload the project. Then the script is executed by the language which is set on the project.

Default script type is groovy. Any specific reason to choose Javascript over Groovy?

Is the script that you attached is Javascript?

Thank nmrao,

The only reason I have is that I do not know anybody with Groovy background in house and some of the examples on the internet were not working for me. I used JavaScript just in case if the test fails, I could show the 'automation' code to the dev team.

 

Funny thing is that this code worked at some point, then stopped working. may be it got confused switch back and forth between JavaScript and Groovy too many times. I even closed the whole SoapUI and reopen after every language switch!!!

 

Thanks again, mpourali
