To Write the "status response" from a REST" in a file,status different to "HTTP/1.0 200 OK".

    Hey alfonsolftc,

    Is there a reason you're not using a Datasink step to do this? If you just need the status headers value i think a couple of lines of groovy in either a script assertion (or separate groovy step), which youve written already for the most part, along with a Datasink step will do this?

    Also i'm not understanding the purpose of youre assignment of the hora variable. I can see youre specifying the datetime as the hora variable but you dont appear to use it at all in the script after assignment? Am i missing something important here?

    Cheers fella,

    Sorry Richie. Happy New Year 2020, I couldn´t answer before because I was in holiday.

    I find interesting the solution you propose, could you send me an example with Data Sink and groovy script.

    I suppose taht I could also use the Data Source Loop too

        Hey alfonsolftc 

         

        ok - firstly the object hierarchy within your testcase I would expect to be something like the following:

         

        REST Step

        Properties Step

        DataSink Step

         

        On your REST request add a script assertion with the following code snippet:

        //Takes one of the elements of the response Header
def value = messageExchange.modelItem.testStep.testCase.testSteps["RESTStepName"].testRequest.response.responseHeaders["#status#"]

//Read this value into a parameter - writes the header value into the Properties test step
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
groovyUtils.setPropertyValue("Properties ", "status",value[0])  //Properties is name of Properties step, #status# is the name of the header your need to extract from

        The above script - grabs the header value and writes it to the Properties step and the Property wihtin the Properties step is entitled status

         

        Configure the DataSink step to source the value from the Properties (I specified to use the DataSink's 'File' type.  I added a Property (Name value =  statusval) to the DataSink and the Property Value value = ${Properties#status} (you can use the GetDAta function to do this)

         

        hope this helps,
