How to call rest web service using groovy script in Soap UI

Why do you want to call a REST service in SOAPUI ?

Do you mean you want to run a REST test ?

Do you have a WADL file for your REST services ?

SOAPUI.org have many tutorials to start with..

The answers to the questions is Yes.

I have a similar problem.

Soapui.org does not provide tutorials for calling REST services by groovy script.

Can you please let us know.

The question why do you want to send HTTP request via Groovy but not REST/HTTP step?

Is there a specific reason?

I have a SOAP based service that makes a call to a third party REST endpoint. I want to be able to call to the SOAP service, get results and compare the results to results from the REST response as well. Seems that the only way to do this is by making a call to the REST endpoint through a Groovy script unless I'm missing something. When trying to add a REST test step to a SOAP test case I get the following error:
