Store request/response files in local directory with Groovy teststep in soapUI

Question

Through a groovy teststep in soapUI i want all request and response files to be stored in a local directory with system date.

The groovy teststep in soapUI:

def name = context.expand( '${Input#TG}' )

def locatie = context.expand( '${#TestCase#locatie}' )

def createFolder() {
  date = new Date()
  dateFormat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat('ddMMyyyy')
  shortDate = dateFormat.format(date)
  outputFolder = locatie+shortDate
  createFolder = new File(outputFolder)
  createFolder.mkdir()  
}

def getResponseFilename(name) {
  respFilename = createFolder()+"_"+name+"_response.xml"
}

def getRequestFilename(locatie,name) {
  reqFilename = createFolder()+"_"+ name+"_request.xml"
}

def file = new PrintWriter (getResponseFilename(name))

def response = testRunner.testCase.testSteps
["CheckAdres"].testRequest.response.contentAsString

file.println(response)
file.flush()
file.close()

def file2 = new PrintWriter (getRequestFilename(name))
def request = context.expand('${CheckAdres#Request}')

file2.println(request)
file2.flush()
file2.close()

I get the following error:

Answer 1

There are several ways of doing this. One would be creating a Groovy test step with the following script:

def myOutFile = "C:/Temp/MyOutDir/response.xml"
def response = context.expand( '${MyTestRequest#Response}' )
def f = new File(myOutFile)
f.write(response, "UTF-8")

Answer 2

Try to use SoapUI's tools to select the value of whatever you want. Right click on the groovy editing area, choose Get Data --> your test suite --> your test case --> your test step --> response. This will get you the entire response. You can also dive deeper into the response with this method.

Answer 3

There is a shorter syntax. Logic is similar what @robert Shared

def response=context.expand('${TestRequest#RawRequest}')
new File("c:/testpath/input.xml").write(response)

if you want to reduce it to just one line

 new File("c:/testpath/input.xml").write(context.expand('${TestRequest#RawRequest}')

You can replace RawRequest with whatever you want to save

Request or Response

RawRequest is used when you want data replacing the variables used in request

Answer 4

Check out the answer by McDonald. Best way to save and shoot request.
