Need help! with empty response when I using the external XML as response.

[wichitk]

Hi,

I'm the beginner for SoapUI.

I have a problem when using the external XML file for dynamic responses. It returns an empty message for the response but it appears on the log.info.

1. I created the request "Req_NAME_ID1"

2. I created the response and force it reads the XML from specifying the path.

def resultRespXML = new File("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Temp\\Test\\mockResponses\\Resp_0000202130123310_0057076200.xml")
log.info resultRespXML

context.content = resultRespXML

3. Run and see the log. It shows the message log from log.info

4. But it doesn't show the data at the Response.

Please help me.

Regards,

Dan

You need to use below approach:- 

def resultRespXML = new File("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\Temp\\Test\\mockResponses\\Resp_0000202130123310_0057076200.xml") 
log.info resultRespXML.text

This will print the xml details.

Hi @avidCoder ,

I saw the XML detail when I printed log.info but It stills doesn't show the XML as log.info to the response message.

is it possible to share .xml here? I am able to see the xml details when I used the code I gave you.

Hi @avidCoder ,

Sorry for the late reply.

For share XML, I can't share it for you because it has confidential company data.

So, Do you have the example that you can be shared to me?

I just need to read the XML file and use it responsibly when the request calls it.

I followed the topic below:

No.7. Using files in a mock response

Hi @avidCoder ,

I shared the captured picture below:

It returns "null".

The destination XML file is valid and has the information inside.

i have attached the data.xml file. Please use the same code. It will give you the result. And i can see here, you are using tearup/teardown script. i am not sure here, whether it will work or not. If you create a groovy script by creating a test step and use that code. it will work.

Hi @avidCoder ,

I used your code and run:

It still doesn't work.

It shows the data at the log.info but it doesn't show at the response message.

Hi @avidCoder ,

It's working now.
I fixed it by adding the ${ResposeData} to the response message as the picture below.

Thank you for your help and answer 🙂
