How to access Twitter API using SoapUI?

Question

I have used the below code to run from SoapUI, but I still get a missing property exception:

No such property exists for class request

How do I resolve this issue?

def project = com.eviware.soapui.model.support.ModelSupport.getModelItemProject( request ) 

// initialize OAuth consumer     
def consumer = new oauth.signpost.commonshttp.CommonsHttpOAuthConsumer( project.getPropertyValue( "oauth_consumer_key" ), project.getPropertyValue( "oauth_consumer_secret" ));    
consumer.setTokenWithSecret( project.getPropertyValue( "oauth_access_token" ), project.getPropertyValue( "oauth_access_token_secret" )); 

// sign the request     
consumer.sign( context.httpMethod ) 

Answer 1

EDIT: took a look at the API guide, and it appears that you have the following:

def project = com.eviware.soapui.model.support.ModelSupport.getModelItemProject( request ) 

Then you call project.getPropertyValue. According to the API guide, there is no such method called getPropertyValue for com.eviware.soapui.model.support.ModelSupport.

There is a interface called com.eviware.soapui.model.project. Unless you're inheriting from interface com.eviware.soapui.model.TestPropertyHolder, you're not going to get getPropertyValue.

To help resolve your issue, you'll need to debug into your code. Depending on the results from 'request' on your first line, you might very well not have the property oauth_consumer_key, oauth_consumer_secret, oauth_access_token or oauth_access_token_secret. Output the contents of request (or just set a break point in SoapUI at the def project and work through validating if you have the property).

Otherwise, there are a couple of alternate ways to tackle your problem. These are solutions geared towards using OAuth with SoapUI.

Try the following:

def gu = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context );

def xml = gu.getXmlHolder( 'Authenticate - Default#Response' );
def token = xml.getNodeValue( '/auth/token' );
log.info( 'Got token: ' + token );

def suite = context.testCase.testSuite;
suite.setPropertyValue( 'auth_token', token );
log.info( 'Saved auth_token to suite.' );

The benefit of this code is that "the token sticks around in the TestSuite properties permanently. This has the side-effect/benefit of allowing me to run tests after the authentication test".

If that doesn't work, there's a great article here explaining how to do the OAuth against Vimeo; this should be very similar to the Twitter OAuth.

Neither of these solutions require SoapUI Pro.
