data driven Test Case - saving requests / responses to an external folder

Hiya,

How about a groovy script along the following lines:

def name = context.expand( '${Properties#Filename}' ) def location = context.expand( '${Properties#Location}' ) def getResponseFilename(name) {   date = new Date()   dateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat('yyyyMMdd-kkmmss')   shortDate = dateFormat.format(date)   respFilename = shortDate + "-" + name + "-response.xml" } def getRequestFilename(name) {  reqFilename = shortDate + "-" + name + "-request.xml" } def file = new PrintWriter (location + getResponseFilename(name)) def Response = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["Request"].testRequest.response.contentAsString file.println(Response) file.flush() file.close() def file2 = new PrintWriter (location + getRequestFilename(name)) def Request = context.expand( '${Request#Request#//soapenv:Envelope[1]}' ) file2.println(Request) file2.flush() file2.close()

This allows you to determine the folder you want to save in a property, and the same for the root part of the filename (in your case 01_AK_001, 02_AL_001...) - you can read this into the appropriate property from elsewhere (or you could read it in directly here and bypass the Property completely if you want).
It adds a datetime stamp so if you run the same request multiple times the requests and responses don't overwrite each other.

Excellent!!!!  Thank you!!!  I REALLY appreciate the time you devoted to this.  I had something similar, but I didn't have the file.flush() or file.close() references.  This  works great.  the final version looks like this:

//Output the request and response to a local directory

def name = context.expand( '${DataGen#CompanysQuoteNumber}' )
def location = context.expand( '${Properties#Location}' )

def getResponseFilename(name) {
  date = new Date()
  dateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd_HH.mm.ss")
  shortDate = dateFormat.format(date)
  respFilename = name + "_Rs_" + shortDate + ".xml"
}

def getRequestFilename(name) { 
  reqFilename = name + "_Rq_" + shortDate + ".xml"
}
 
def file = new PrintWriter (location + getResponseFilename(name))
def Response = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["TestRequest_TPPR"].testRequest.response.contentAsString
file.println(Response)
file.flush()
file.close()

def file2 = new PrintWriter (location + getRequestFilename(name))
def Request = context.expand( '${TestRequest_TPPR#Request}' )

file2.println(Request)
file2.flush()
file2.close()

Hi All,

I am unable to save contents of request & response as XML file when test suite runs on iteration, I tried this code;
def name = testRunner.testCase.name
def location = "E:\\MPI\\Integration\\Paramterization\\Release 15\\"

def getResponseFilename(name) {
date = new Date()
dateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat('yyyyMMdd-HHmmss')
shortDate = dateFormat.format(date)
respFilename = shortDate + "-" + name + "-response.xml"
}

//Response File//
def Responsefile = new PrintWriter (location + getResponseFilename(name))
def Response = context.expand( '${executeBO - GetJobDetails#Response}' )
Responsefile.println(Response)
Responsefile.flush()
Responsefile.close()

//Request File//
def getRequestFilename(name) {
reqFilename = shortDate + "-" + name + "-request.xml"
}
def Requestfile = new PrintWriter (location + getRequestFilename(name))
def Request = context.expand( '${executeBO - GetJobDetails#Request}' )
Requestfile.println(Request)
Requestfile.flush()
Requestfile.close()

What is happening is its saving empty files in the specified location on each iteration. Any help on this would be of great help.

Regards

Hello,

I'm a new SOAPUI PRO user (for some reason I can’t Post or Reply in the dedicated Forum).

I try to save responses (including attachments) to an external folder and unfortunately I can't succeed adapting the "groovy scripts" I found in the Forum, or with the parameters (TestRequestProperties etc…).

• Requirements are:
- Automatically export Xml response in a dedicated Folder (that's work!)
- Automatically export response attachments in a dedicated Folder (that don’t work :/)

• Request :

• You can find 1 to x attachments in the response, the attachment is always a .zip file.

• The idea is :
1. Each time I run the testcase or testsuite to create a folder named: “AAAAMMDD HHMMSS”-“name of the testcase”
2. In this folder simply save all the attachments (the filename is the response: “nomEnveloppeCr” propertie).

Could you help me resolve that?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Regards

Pierre
