[Resolved] httpbuilder support?

Hi There

I'm trying to use httpbuilder to verify if certain urls which I'm passing into the get requests are valid. (I was hoping I could verify this by returning the header and asserting the page size) I have copied all of the appropriate jar file dependencies into bin/ext dir of soapUI pro but I'm still getting the following error when i execute my script

"Startup failed: Script6.groovy: 9: unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder @ line 9, column 1. import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder ^ org.codehaus.groovy.syntax.SyntaxException: unable to resolve class groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder @ line 9, column 1. at ...."

import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
import static groovyx.net.http.Method.*
import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.*

any suggestions on what else i could try in order to get this working please?

alternatively, could you suggest any other method for me to pass multiple different urls which have extracted from json nodes in a search response, so that I can verify that each url resolves to a valid html page?

    I guess this feature is not in groovy-all jar embedded with soapui
    Add the httpbuilder jars (with dependencies if any) in the ext directory. If this does not work, put it in the lib directory

    thanks for the suggestion - I have the jar files in both /lib and /bin/ext and i'm still getting the same error

    Hi,

    Extra libraries should be added to the 'lib' folder. Have you closed/reopened SoapUI Pro after adding the jar files?

    Ok copying into /lib seems to have resolved that part of my problem

    I'm now getting a different error "could not initialize groovyx.net.http.ParserRegistry"

    I've seen a ticket on this forum with the same problem but no solution i'm afraid

    Hi,

    Do you have an import statement that covers that class?
    import groovyx.net.http.ParserRegistry perhaps?

    I do - here's a sample http.get script which I'm trying run

    import org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StackTraceUtils

    import groovyx.net.http.HTTPBuilder
    import groovyx.net.http.ParserRegistry
    import static groovyx.net.http.Method.GET
    import static groovyx.net.http.ContentType.TEXT


    def http = new HTTPBuilder('http://www.google.com')

    http.get( path : '/search',
    contentType : TEXT,
    query : [q:'Groovy'] ) { resp, reader ->

    println "response status: ${resp.statusLine}"
    println 'Headers: -----------'
    resp.headers.each { h ->
    println " ${h.name} : ${h.value}"
    }
    println 'Response data: -----'
    System.out << reader
    println '\n--------------------'
    }

    Hi,

    What is the exact version of the jar file that you have added?

    Thanks,

    eventually got it working - I cleared out the bin/ext dir and copied back in all the http-builder-0.6 jar files including all dependencies My groovy script is now working !!

    thanks
