Question about DataGen feature in soapUI NG pro

Hey guys,   I'm looking for script or idea to remove string located in DataGen -> List in case if my test step = failed, is there any chance to make it possible? Thanks in advance, cheers :P   B...

    Sounds like you want to read from a list of addresses (created from DataGen test step?), determine good / bad addresses from the list and then save a new list of only good addresses.  If that's correct .. this might work ? 

     

    1 - build a DATA SOURCE test step to read your list of addresses one at a time from the grid, or read them from an excel, txt 

    2  - run your REST requests & set assertions to determine if address is good / bad, using data from the DATA SOURCE test step (read into the request one row at a time each time the test loops)

    3 - GROOVY test step ...

    • if assertion is VALID for rest request then go to DATA SINK test step
    • if assertion is not VALID skip over the DATA SINK test step & go to DATA SOURCE LOOP

    4 - DATA SINK test step grab the data from the REST request / response & write to new file (this will add a row of "good addresses" for each address that has a valid assertions)

    5 - DATA SOURCE LOOP to bring you back to DATA SOURCE test step to read next entry in the list .... 

     

    Your new list of "good" addresses will be the file produced by the DATA SINK test step.

     

    Good luck!

Hiho nmrao,

 

This is the example structure:

 

(REST)postGeocode
(REST)getGeocodeResult

 

DataGen (which contain list of addresses, plenty of them there, and not every address is correct, some of them are wrong)

 

And my idea is to set such script which in case of bad result will delete address randomly generated in DataGen from the list and continue running.

 

If address is wrong or Map source is missing such address this is the result: 

 

<result>
<addresses/>
</result>

 

In other case result contain coordinates + full address :P

 

 

 

And I would also be able to create list of addresses with coordinates in advance, and later if any address will trigger I want to compare it to the result, is there any chance that i can make such dataBase in soapUI? Which keep addresses and their coordinates, so i can later compare the results?:P

Sorry to say, could not imagine what you are trying to achieve.
Test case has 2 rest steps.
Not sure where this DataGen is.
And also I am not sure (from the DataGen ) documentation that how to loop thru that List which you are using.

    It sounds like you just need to uncheck the test case option "Abort test if an error occurs".  The test will continue on despite the errors.  Note that this setting is at the Test Case level (green checkmark) and not at the test step level.   See attached.

      nmrao:P Well all I want to achieve is, be able to delete address from the List in dataGen which lead to testCase fail.

      The list is big so I want to clear it somehow and left only addresses which exists, because some of them might be expired, or changed.

       

      (REST)postGeocode <-- request send to the queue
      (REST)getGeocodeResult   <-- request asking for result from topic

      DataGen (with list containing addresses)

       

       

      mpartykaThis for info this will be usefull

       

      Thanks for support, cheers guys.

       

      Best regards

       

      Emil

        I will check it.

        How did you add so many items in the list? Manually?

    DataGen has this feature, if u create list of strings, u can thick box at the bottom of the subwindow and this list will be randomized, well it doesn't matter at all, we can scipt randomize part, all I want to do is to remove string(address) from the list in case where the result will fail, and I want to continue the script anyway so after few hours I will have working list of addresses because at this moment list is pretty big and there are plenty of wrong addresses which are probably not available anymore :P
