how MOCK read request data from attachement

[vikititor]

Hello, 

exists some way, how to read this request in ReadyAPI MOCK service? 

My AUT (Application under test) sends text file in POST. I need to return JSON with somem value form the text file.

But how to do that?

My RAW request looks like:

POST http://localhost:9000/rest/submit HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="----=_Part_2_1159636768.1573464138308"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Length: 132451
Host: localhost:9000
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.2 (Java/1.8.0_181)


------=_Part_2_1159636768.1573464138308
Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=example1.tdf
Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="example1.tdf"; filename="example1.tdf"

1.01:1431.02:03001.09:MBI20191107151008-IDE-000651.11:00.001.12:00.00

I must extract this string "MBI20191107151008-IDE-00065" from it = each time will have differed value. And then send his value to the AUT in JSON.

How to read it? It is even possible in Soapui?

Hi,

> It is even possible in Soapui?

Yes, I believe that this should be possible in SoapUI.

But, considering that the question was posted to the ServiceVirtualization board but not to the SoapUI one, this is what I did using ServiceV:

-- For the POST /rest/submit VirtAction I set dispatch style to Script;

-- Pasted this code to the script dispatch window:

def attachments = mockRequest.getRequestAttachments();
//log.info attachments.size();

//def attachmentName = attachments[0].name;
//log.info "Name: $attachmentName";
//log.info "URL: ${attachments[0].url}";
//log.info "Part: ${attachments[0].part}";
//log.info "Encoding: ${attachments[0].contentEncoding}";

def attachmentInputStream = attachments[0].inputStream;

def textValue = new String(attachmentInputStream.bytes, "UTF-8");
//log.info textValue;
context.setProperty("textFileValue", textValue);
/*
// This part of code will save attachment's content to the file
def attachmentContent = attachmentInputStream
def file = new File("D:\\$attachmentName");
file.append(attachmentInputStream);
*/
attachmentInputStream.close();
//log.info context.getProperty("textFileValue").toString();

-- For the response that will be sent as reply I opened Script section (will be on the right after you click on the response name) and entered this code:

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
import groovy.json.JsonOutput

def textParam = context.getProperty("textFileValue").toString();
def payload = '{ "id" : "' + textParam + '"}';
//log.info(payload);

def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText(payload.toString());
log.info(json);

mockResponse.responseContent = new JsonOutput().toJson(json);

And I got the value from request attachment as a value of the id json entry in response.

You will need to:

a) Write the code that will extract required value from the textFileValue property; and

b) Define the proper json structure for the payload variable.

Hope this will help.

P.S. In case you need to implement the same approach but in SoapUI, I believe that it will be not a problem to adopt the above code for SoapUI.
