Compare test step
Purpose The process of testing often requires to compare test results to expected values. When we need to check a specific value, we can use assertions. However, there are often occasions when we need to compare one documents to another (e.g. XML, JSON). I propose to introduce a new type of test step: Compare test step. Functionality Compare test step would allow: Select documents: users would select source and target document from test step requests, responses, properties and other document holders in SoapUI environment, similarly as the Property Transfer test step does. Type of comparisson: the user could choose whether the documents have to be identical (both structure and values) or similar (only the structure should be same). Also the user could choose to ignore differences in whitespaces, attributes, or namespaces, or even data types which to ignore (e.g. xsd:dateTime is typically different). List of items to compare/ignore: the user could list the items which should be ignored, represented by XPath statements. Also there would be an opposite option: a list of XPath statements to check and to ignore the rest of the documents. Suggestions The Compare test step can utilize the XMLUnit library for XML and thus expose its function via SoapUI user interface. The Compare step can be similarly used for JSON documents.
GroovyUtils XMLHolder throwing Xpath syntax error when XML node value contains escaped character.
GroovyUtils throwing error when XML node value contains escaped characters. In my script, I'm accessing a node that contains the description of an error. That node when read by my XMLHolder throws this error: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: net.sf.saxon.trans.XPathException: XPath syntax error at char 9 on line 2 in {\nInvalid part number}: Unexpected token name "part" beyond end of expression It appears that the node I'm reading contains the value "\n", and when the holder tries to read it, it throws the error. How can I read the node, with the escaped value, and not bomb out?
Customize request XML parsing
Hi, is there a way of customizing the request XML parsing process in SOAP UI? I have already tried to check out the sources and intervene there butthe codebase has proven to be a bit overwhelming to understand - I wasn`t able to understand where the configuration for the XML parser is set. I`m trying to use it to demonstrate XXE payloads for a university project and it seems most of the popular payloads are not working on requests sent via SOAP UI, probably due to parser configuration... Basically I need to find how to turn off the anti-XXE measures. There is an attachment to show what I mean to do... ThanksConvert XML to Json format - jScript
Hey guys, I curretly have an XML file that I use to map some test data so I could create another XML file and send it somwhere. Current XML format is: <Mappings> <Test id="Test_1000_test"> <TestIdMapping>Test_1001_test1</TestIdMapping> <TestIdMapping>Test_1002_test2</TestIdMapping> </Test> <Test id="Test_2000_test"> <TestIdMapping>Test_2001_test1</TestIdMapping> <TestIdMapping>Test_2002_test2</TestIdMapping> <TestIdMapping>Test_2003_test3</TestIdMapping> </Test> <Mappings> Basically I am mapping 1001, 1002 to 1000....... I would like to switch this file to JSON and have it in TestComplete instead of reading it from the outside (external XML). What's is the best way to it ? I have an idea in head but I would like your opinion. Please note that file could have up to few hundreds tests.
