Property Transfers get sid from the CDATA
Hi all, can anybody halp with such problem. I got the response and now need to get sid (YkhXK0uq6HBPvn3zAAAE) from the xml CDATA
<data contentType="text/plain; charset=UTF-8" contentLength="97"><![CDATA[0{"sid":"YkhXK0uq6HBPvn3zAAAE","upgrades":["websocket"],"pingInterval":25000,"pingTimeout":20000}]]></data>
i tried this one (based on this)
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def response = context.expand('${GET GetSID#ResponseAsXml}')
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(response)
node_data = holder.getNodeValue("//data")
context.sid = node_data.replaceAll("sid:", "");
log.info context.sid
but it leds to error
is it possible to get sid without groovy just to use the Property Transfers ?
the solution was found, it is not very pretty but works
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context) def response = context.expand('${GetSID - GetSID#ResponseAsXml}') def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(response) node_data = holder.getNodeValue("//data") String str = node_data; //get data between the text String result1 = str.substring(str.indexOf("sid") + 1, str.indexOf("upgrades")); //delete all extra symbols in the string String result2 = result1.replaceAll('"',"") String result3 = result2.replaceAll(":","") String result4 = result3.replaceAll("id","") String result = result4.replaceAll(',',"") //set global variable com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.setPropertyValue( "sid", result )Hey UnnounUsername
Apologies - Ive only just seen your post. I can see you've already sorted this out, but for future reference, there is an alternative option to relying on groovy script when attempting to extract values from CDATA wrapped xml - you can actually use the embedded functionality instead.
Essentially the short answer is to use a property within a property.
If you launch --> https://www.soapui.org/docs/functional-testing/working-with-cdata/
Navigate to section '3. Property Transfers and CDATA Sections' and follow these instructions. I've used this option a couple of times - it's not pretty either - but it gets the job done!
Cheers,
Rich
