Hi,

 

I made a simple script:

 

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello World! $1 $2"

 

Have you tried anything like:

 

//method 1
['/Users/test/soapuiblog/hello.sh', 'arg1', 'arg2'].execute()

//method 2
def sout = new StringBuffer(), serr = new StringBuffer()
//def proc = 'ls /temp'.execute()
def proc = '/Users/test/soapuiblog/hello.sh arg1 arg2'.execute()
proc.consumeProcessOutput(sout, serr)
proc.waitForOrKill(1000)
log.info "out> $sout err> $serr"

Method 1 seems to execute without any error, but I couldn't be sure it had worked so I tried a way that captures the output method 2 (based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/159148/groovy-executing-shell-commands) which also seemed to work giving the below log:

Fri Apr 08 08:50:15 BST 2016:INFO:out> Hello World! arg1 arg2 err>

I ran this in a Groovy TestStep.

 

Let me know if this works for you?

 

Regards,

Rup
