Downloading a JSON file after hitting soap UI https request

[sparrowenclave]

have one requirement to automate in SOAP UI Open source

Where I need to hit a https url and after hitting the url I need to download a json file for further use

I am able to login and browse the file location by using Basic Authorization.

In response, I can see the files name in html format.But further I wanted to download the file in local machine or to see a content of the file in the soap UI response so that assertions can be added.

Please suggest if there is any other approach in soap UI where we can download a file or see a content of file after hitting the https URL.

Hi @sparrowenclave,

Here is a sample script to browse a directory containing json files and open each to find a specific node.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.toList;

File newFile;
String FolderPath = "<insert your path here>";
File selectedDirectory = new File(FolderPath);
List<Path> paths = new ArrayList<>();

try {
  paths = Files.walk(Paths.get(new File(selectedDirectory.getPath())
              .getAbsolutePath()))
              .filter(p -> p.toFile().isFile())
              .collect(toList());
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

for (Path path : paths) {
  newFile = new File(path.toString());
  ObjectMapper mapperFileSource = new ObjectMapper();
  JsonNode rootNode = null;
  try {
      rootNode = mapperFileSource.readTree(newFile);
  } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  }
  JsonNode searchNode = rootNode.findValue("<insert a node name here>");
  if (searchNode != null) {
      log.info(searchNode.textValue());
      // You can add assertions here
  }
}

It is just an example of what can be done.

Keep in min you'll need jackson's library.
Hope this will help.

David.

@ZDGN,

This is great...people ask for this every so often and now there's a definite way of doing it. I'll be saving this for when this pops up in my work, so nice one!
