get query params from request url soapui using groovy

Question

I only used SOAP UI to just test the WSDL/URL but not in this extent. I need to get the request url query parameters from SOAP UI and use them to test some stuff using groovy sc

Supposing that your testStep request is called GetCustomers you can use the follow Groovy code to get the testStep and then the property with the endpoint value as String:

def ts = context.testCase.getTestStepByName('GetCustomers')
def endpoint =ts.getPropertyValue('Endpoint')
log.info endpoint // prints http://myendpoint.com/customers?Id=111&ModeName=abc&DeltaId=023423

Then you can parse the endpoint using the java.net.URL class and use getQuery() method to extract the query parameters. Then split by & to get each query name value pair and finally split again each pair with =and put the result in a Map. Altogether your code could be something like:

import java.net.*

def ts = context.testCase.getTestStepByName('GetCustomers')
def endpoint =ts.getPropertyValue('Endpoint')
// parse the endpoint as url
def url = new URL(endpoint)
// get all query params as list
def queryParams = url.query?.split('&') // safe operator for urls without query params
// transform the params list to a Map spliting 
// each query param
def mapParams = queryParams.collectEntries { param -> param.split('=').collect { URLDecoder.decode(it) }}
// assert the expected values
assert mapParams['Id'] == '111'
assert mapParams['ModeName']== 'abc'
assert mapParams['DeltaId']=='023423'

There is another option without using URL class; which simply consists on splitting the URL using ? to get the query parameters (as URL.getQuery() does):

def ts = context.testCase.getTestStepByName('GetCustomers')
def endpoint =ts.getPropertyValue('Endpoint')

// ? it's a special regex... so escape it
def queryParams = endpoint.split('\\?')[1].split('&')
// transform the params list to a Map spliting 
// each query param
def mapParams = queryParams.collectEntries { param -> param.split('=').collect { it }}
// assert the expected values
assert mapParams['Id'] == '111'
assert mapParams['ModeName']== 'abc'
assert mapParams['DeltaId']=='023423'
