Pass variable from Groovy Script to request

Hi,

 

I have a test suite with a number of test steps: SOAP request -> Grtoovy Script -> Soap request.  My groovy script parses the response from the previous request and then is supposed to pass some attribute to the next soap request, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly as the second soap request is failing.  Below is the groovy script:

 

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )

def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "getEnabled#Response" )

for(job in holder.getNodeValues("//identifier")){

	if (job.contains("WS2")){
		testRunner.testCase.testSteps["Disable"].setPropertyValue('ID', job2)
		testRunner.runTestStepByName("Disable")
		}
}

I'm trying to pass the attribute 'ID' to the next soap request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:prin="http://www.gmc.net/PrintNetPA">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <prin:disable>
         <classname>input</classname>
         <identifier>${#TestCase#ID}</identifier>
      </prin:disable>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

But this soap request is failing.  Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please?

  • Hi Maximus,

     

    you have different issues in your script.

    1.  you try to set the testStep property. As far as I know you can not do that (it makes no sense because you could also write the value in the same request)  

    testRunner.testCase.testSteps["Disable"].setPropertyValue('ID', job2)

    Therefore use the testCase.setPropertyValue...

     

    2. you try to set the value with the variable 'job2' but job2 is not instantiated and / or is not set in the script you should use job

    testRunner.testCase.testSteps["Disable"].setPropertyValue('ID', job2)

     

    Following is a script which should fix your error

     

    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "getBank#Response" )
    
    for(job in holder.getNodeValues("//*[local-name()='identifier']")){
      if (job.contains("70144")){
        testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue('ID', job);
        testRunner.runTestStepByName("Disable");
      }
    }

      Hi,

       

      job2 was a typo as I stripped some code from my post before posting and I missed that one, but thank you as stripping out "testSteps["Disable"]" has solved my problem thank you! 

  • To set a value to TestStep you have to use

     

    testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("StepName").setPropertyValue(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String value)

      Please correct me if I'm wrong but you can only modify existing custom properties but not adding new.
