    Hi,

    When you do:

    def file1 = new File('/temp/groovy1.txt')
file1 << mockRequest.getRequestContent()

    That should append to the file, the << is the same as .append()

     

    Did you try making multiple requests to your mock? The file should contain all of them.

     

    If you do this, I don't think you get a line break inserted - if you want one its easy to add, see

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23410973/groovy-how-to-append-text-in-file-new-line

     

    Alternatively, you could consider creating one file per request or unique request - one exmple of this involves extracting some property of the request and appending it to the file name e.g.

     

    def requestXMLHolder = new com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder(mockRequest.requestContent)
requestXMLHolder.declareNamespace("inv","http://www.test.samples/schema/invoice")
def requestInvoiceNo=requestXMLHolder.getNodeValue("//inv:getInvoice[1]/inv:invoiceNo[1]")

def file1 = new File('/temp/groovy1'+requestInvoiceNo+'.txt')

file1 << mockRequest.getRequestContent()

    Regards,

    Rupert

Thanks for you reply.

I'm just starting to learn groovy right now, so i admit i'm not that good in scripting.

I tried to insert: 

log.info(mockRequest.getRequestContent())

 to the "OnRequest Script" option in the mock, but i didn't see it prints something. What am I missing here?

Hi,

 

No problem about being new to scripting, I'll try to help you out where I can.

 

Ok, so as background is:

  1. Your mock a REST service?
  2. Have you setup a POST action for the mock?

If you have only setup a GET, the 

log.info(mockRequest.getRequestContent())

will return null.

 

Regards,

Rup

    My mock is a soap service. I loaded the WSDL into the mock. This mock acts as a client, so it only receives soap messages.

    I see the soap messages arrive to the mock in the mock log, but i want to run some validations on it.

    How can i log the actual content of the incoming messages?

     

    Thanks a lot for your help.

      Ok, SOAP, no problem.

       

      Sorry, I think you mean that you generated mock request / response from your WSDL and that the mock acts as a service (not client)?

       

      Ok, so when you are sending requests to the mock, you are seeing the contents of the SOAP request logged in the using the code snippet we discussed e.g. something like this:

      Next you would like to save the request content to a file so that you can check it externally?

       

      If so, the next step will be to add more Groovy script to save each request to a txt file somewhere. A really simple start on this would be to add script like:

      def file1 = new File('/temp/groovy1.txt')

file1 << mockRequest.getRequestContent()

      Let me know if this is on the right track,

      Regards,

      Rup

        ok, i'm making progress thanks to you so thanks a lot :)

         

        The 2nd script works well. i entered it and it created a txt file with the incoming message.

        The 1st one(log) didn't work, or at least i didn't see it work.

        If i type in:

        log.info(mockRequest.getRequestContent())

        Then i receive the incoming request succesfully, i see it in the mock log but in the same way as if this script doesn't exist.

         

        If i type in exactly what you wrote(with the "Hello:"), i receive an exception from the mock when sending the request, so i'm not sure what am i doing wrong here.
