SoapUI rest mock start issue from testsuite via groovy script

[sbhasin24]

Hi All,

I am trying to start rest mock service via groovy script in test suite. I am getting the error using below script

def mockService = ["RestMockService"]

context.mockRunners= mockServices.collect{testSuite.project.mockService[it].start()}

But same script working fine for Soap mock services

def mockService = ["SoapMockService"]

context.mockRunners= mockServices.collect{testSuite.project.mockService[it].start()}

Not sure why are trying to start mock services from test suite.

Hello,

I need it to run build maven script which require to start mock service first in order to validate test cases in test suite. To achieve it I need to start rest mock using groovy script. I am able to start Soap mock service via groovy script but Rest mock start are failing.

Understand. But certainly that is not correct way to do.

Can you please check if there is utility called mockservicerunner under bin directory of the installation? If so run the mock services using that before running the tests.
