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:

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

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

Answer 4

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 5

More useful if we should save an error in Response:

import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder
import java.text.MessageFormat
import org.apache.commons.lang.ObjectUtils

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def retrieve = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("MyTestRequest#Response" )

if (!ObjectUtils.equals(retrieve.getNodeValue("//*:xpath"), "string")){
 def currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
 def fullFilePath = context.expand('${projectDir}') + File.separator + "Fail-"+currentTime+".xml"
 def reportFile = new File(fullFilePath)
 if (!reportFile.exists())
 {
  reportFile.createNewFile()    
  reportFile.append((Object)retrieve.getPrettyXml(), 'UTF-8')
 }
}
