Thank you guys. here is the synthax that I had to use:

def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(context.expand('${ListColors - Request 1#Response}'))

Before all I had to use is :
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "ListColors#Response" )

and it worked. Did the synthax changed in the new version ?

Could you please share the full code.... I want to remove empty parent tags in my request XML. Please help

I tried these 2 not working

 

1)

def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(context.expand('${Request 1#Request}'))
for( item in holder.getDomNodes( "//*[normalize-space(.) = '' and count(*) = 0]" ))
{
 item.removeXobj()
}
 holder.updateProperty()
context.requestContent = holder.xml

 

 

2)


testRunner.testCase.testSteps.each
{
 it->
 if (it.getValue().config.type.equals("restrequest"))
 {
  def x = it.getValue().getName();
 //def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils

 def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(context.expand('${x#Request}'))

// find end nodes that also only consist of whitespace
for( item in holder.getDomNodes( "//*[normalize-space(.) = '' and count(*) = 0]" ))
{
 item.removeXobj()
}
 holder.updateProperty()
context.requestContent = holder.xml


 }
}
