It is working fine with fixed xml. def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context) def str = context.expand('{RegistrationRequest#Response}') def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(str) def getOrderRef = { element -> xml.'**'.find {it.name() == element}.@orderItemRef } def elements = ['Assessment', 'Report'] elements.each { log.info getOrderRef(it) } See the screeshot for error. Thanks, Oct21 Re: Need to extract the value of an attribute from response XML nmrao Yes, it worked fine with static XML. Please see the screenshot for error details. Thanks Oct21 Re: Need to extract the value of an attribute from response XML nmrao I tried below code to save my response xml. In my case response xml will always generate new OrderRef. def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context) def str = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("RegistrationRequest#Response") def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(str) def getOrderRef = { element -> xml.'**'.find {it.name() == element}.@orderItemRef } def elements = ['Assessment', 'Report'] elements.each { log.info getOrderRef(it) } But am getting error. Could you please check? Thanks, Oct21 Re: Need to extract the value of an attribute from response XML Hi Thanks for responding, but the code above is returning null value.

Thanks Oct21 Re: Getting error "content is not allowed in prolog" while parsing XML through groovy scripts Many thanks for the explanation and script nmrao I am now able to understand the XML structure. Re: Getting error "content is not allowed in prolog" while parsing XML through groovy scripts nmrao I tried to use the script as script assertion to the request where i am getting the response. But i am getting the same error. Not sure what has changed, it is parsing the values but not able to pick the one which is described. And the past script i used as a groovy script and worked perfectly. Could please check and help me again. Check the screenshot. Thanks again. Regards, Oct21 Re: Getting error "content is not allowed in prolog" while parsing XML through groovy scripts The script provided earlier was also used as a groovy test step, and the script am using now is also as a groovy test step.
