Use a file in a SOAP request

[icenamor]

Hi all, 

I need to know how do this process.

I have a SOAP request that give a attachment file (see File1.PNG) and need to process the file for other request.

How can use it automatically?

Hi @icenamor 

I was going to try and explain - but the help is pretty good on this - please see the following 2 soapui and readyapi! links.

ah - I just re-read your message - are you saying you get a .png file in a SOAP response and you need to pass this onto a subsequent SOAP request?  Anyway - have a look at the links to familiarise yourself -  if this is the case just get things setup to send a file first and then worry about passing it from a response to a request afterwards

Cheers,

rich

If the issue is to save the file automatically, then refer below thread:

The solution is here: 

def testCaseName = 'Messages-IP-Mail'
def testStepName = '001_1ConventMailToPDF'
//context.testCase.testSuite.testCases[testCaseName].testSteps[testStepName].testRequest.responseContent
def projectDir = context.expand('${projectDir}');
log.info "Current dir:" + projectDir
def response = context.testCase.testSuite.testCases[testCaseName].testSteps[testStepName].testRequest.response.getAttachments()
def fileName = projectDir + '/pdf.pdf'
def outFile = new FileOutputStream(new File(fileName))
testRunner.testCase.testSteps["testStepName"].setPropertyValue("fileName", fileName)
def ins = response[0].inputStream
if (ins) {
       com.eviware.soapui.support.Tools.writeAll(outFile, ins)
    }
ins.close()
outFile.close()
