Script Library - messageExchange

Hi,

Is it possible to call the following from a method in the script library?

def response = messageExchange.responseContent
def soapVersion = messageExchange.operation.getInterface().soapVersion

I'm trying to externalise all my assertions for easier maintainence and I want to use the following to get the current response details in a testcase. I cannot get them to work in a preceeding groovy test step either. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Cormac

    Hi Cormac,

    you need to get hold of the messageExchange and pass it to your method in the script-library.. from what context are you calling it?

    Hi Ole,

    Excuse my ignorance my Java/Groovy skills are rubbish but i'm not really sure what you mean by what context I call it?

    Hi Cormac,

    sorry, I should have been clearer. Are you calling this method from a Groovy Script Step? Or a Script Assertion? Or from "somewhere else"?

    regards!

    Hi Ole,

    I'm calling the method from a script assertion (I tried to get it to work in a groovy script step also).

    The idea is I have a number of scripted assertions as public methods in the external library. Some of the assertions require the Soap Version and Response to be passed as parameters. I was hoping that I could just create a couple of private methods which would retrieve this info for the request executed and I could call these methods as an alernative to passing the parameters. Hope this makes sense?

    Cheers

    Hi Cormac,

    sure, this makes great sense! You'll need to pass the messageExchange as an argument to the method, from there your method can extract the remquired properties.. ok?

    regards!

    Thanks Ole,

    Yeah this makes sense, this is what I have but I still get null returned.

    import com.eviware.soapui.model.iface.*

    private def getCurrentResponse(MessageExchange messageExchange){

    return messageExchange.responseContent
    }

    Any suggestions?

    Sorry,

    I think I have this sorted now. I wasn't passing through the messageExchage arguement when I was calling the method. Should this not have thrown an error though?

    Cheers

    Hi!

    hmm.. maybe.. due to its "dynamic nature", Groovy tries to "make the best of things" when executing.. I guess you still had syntactically correct code..

    regards!
