How to create REST project using Groovy script?

Hi,

I managed to get a chance to work a little on what we discussed... here is my first quick shot and results, please let me know what you think:

Create a Groovy script with the following content (note if you do this in Eclipse, you'll need to reference all the SoapUI libs):

import com.eviware.soapui.impl.actions.RestServiceBuilder

import com.eviware.soapui.impl.rest.RestRequest

import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject

import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlSubmitContext

import com.eviware.soapui.model.iface.Response

import com.eviware.soapui.model.iface.Submit

def uri = "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"

WsdlProject project = new WsdlProject()

RestServiceBuilder serviceBuilder = new RestServiceBuilder()

serviceBuilder.createRestService(project, uri)

println "service name: "+project.getInterfaceList()[0].name

println "Resource: "+project.getInterfaceList()[0].getOperationList()[0]

RestRequest request = project.getInterfaceList()[0].getOperationList()[0].getRequestList()[0]

Submit submit = (Submit) request.submit( new WsdlSubmitContext(), false );

Response response = submit.getResponse();

String responseContent = response.getContentAsString();

println( responseContent );

Running this gives:

}

The script:

1. Creates a new REST Project based on the highlighted URI (a public test REST API)
2. A GET request to the resource /posts/1 is automatically created.
3. The request is dispatched and the response JSON content printed out.

When creating the project on-the-fly like this there is no need to persist anything or use a TestRunner script - is this allong the lines you need? 

Cheers,

Rup

Sure Rup. Thank you so much

Hi Rupert,

Is it also possible saving  the project to an output file like in wsdl project.saveIn()?
