Grovey Script Solution

Groovy Script Technical solutions:

  Groovy script plays vital role in automating the web services using the SOAPUI tool. As tester with my exp, no need to be expert in the grovey to build the regression suite in web service, however as tester you should be knowing the basic syntax, conditions and some of the groovy functions.

To make the job easy, I've listed out some of the functions which are very useful in the real execution.

lets talk about the groovy.

Groovy is an Object Oriented Scripting Language, Groovy and Java are really close cousins, and their syntaxes are very similar, hence why Groovy is so easy to learn for Java developers.

SoapUI provides extensive options for scripting, using either Groovy or Javascript (since SoapUI 3.0) as its scripting language, which to use is set a the project level in the project details tab at the bottom left.

1. Defining a variable called 'name' in Groovy and assigning it with a value.
  
   def name = "John"

   log.info name

   def number = 10

    log.info number

2. How to print results in Console

  def status ="Testcase pass"
   log.info status




3. IF Condition Syntax

//IF CONDITION
if (number == 10)
{
log.info "Pass"
}
elseh

{
log.infor "fail"
}

4. FOR Condition Syntax

//FOR CONDITION'

for(def i=1;i<10 font="" i="">
{
log.info "Value of I is "+i
}

5. While Condition Syntax

def i = 1
while (i<5 font="">
{
 log.info "I value is :" + i
 i=i+1
}

6. How to define Arrays in Grovey script


def number =[10,2,3]

log.info number[0]
log.info number[1]
log.info number[3]

********************************************************************************* Some of the very useful Grovy functions

7.  How to retrieve the current project path - this would be very helpful in retriving the test data path and also helps in storing the results.

import com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils
import groovy.xml.XmlUtil

def groovyUtils = new GroovyUtils(context)
def projectdir = groovyUtils.projectPath

8.  How to control the environments.

 def String pEnv = testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("sEnv")  // Get the value from the configuration file
// log.info(pEnv)

if (pEnv == "Local")
{
sEndpoint = "http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx. " // Local environment
}
else if (pEnv == "Test")
{
sEndpoint = "http://www.w3schools.com/test/webservices/tempconvert.asmx" //Test environment
}
else
{
sEndpoint = "http://www.w3schools.com/prod/webservices/tempconvert.asmx" // Prod environment
}

//set the end point details 
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("pEndpoint",sEndpoint) 
// Use the pEndpoint property variable in the test request - end point.
                          ${#TestCase#pEndpoint}

4. How to get the SOAPUI project name in groovy script

def projectname= testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.name

  log.info(projectname)

or

 def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project.name

  log.info(project)

Project Path

def projectpath = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.path

log.info projectpath 

5. How to get the Test case name in grovey script

def testcase = testRunner.getTestCase().name

log.info(testcase)

or 

def testcase= testRunner.testCase.name

log.info(testcase)

6. How to get the Test suite name in grovey script

def suitename= testRunner.testCase.testSuite.name

log.info(suitename)

7. How to call the test step from the grovey script

def result = testRunner.runTestStep(testRunner.getTestCase().getTestStepByName("Step name"))
// Capture result in the string format
String status = result.getStatus().toString()

//display result
log.info status 

8. How to get test step name

def teststep = testRunner.getTestCase().getTestStepByName("CelsiusToFahrenheit - Request 1")

log.info(teststep)

or 

def teststep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("CelsiusToFahrenheit - Request 1")

log.info(teststep)

or

def step = context.testCase.getTestStepAt(0)     //0 means first step,1 means second step e.t.c

log.info step.name

9. How to capture the SOAP response using the grovey script.

//                      groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("Request name# Response)

                                      

sResponse = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("CelsiusToFahrenheit - Request 1"+"#Response")

sActualValue = sResponse.getNodeValue("//*:CelsiusToFahrenheitResult")

if (responseval == "50")

{

log.info "Test case pass"

}

else

{

log.info "test case fail"

}

10. How to get the date in groovy script

import java.lang.*
import java.util.*

import java.io.*
def startDate = new Date()
def datform= startDate.format("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm")

11.  How to pass the XML from an external source to SOAP ui tool?
//Get the Test data path

def testdatapath=projectdir+"\\TestData\\"+testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("sTestcasename")+".xml"
def xmlParser = new XmlParser()
responsecontent = xmlParser.parse(testdatapath)
def finaltestdata =XmlUtil.serialize( responsecontent )
//log.info(finaltestdata)
//Assign xml data to property values

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("pfinaltestdata",finaltestdata)

// pfinaltestdata - property variable contains the XML information.

12. Data driven in SOAPUI tool - no built in feature avaible in SOAP ui for data driven, ready api tool has a built in feature to support the data driven.

 To make the data driven in soap ui tool either use the Apache POI library to write and Read data from the Excel.

or

  define input data in CSV and retrieve the data from the CSV, write a function to retrive the data from csv.

Below code is to retrieve the data from csv and run for each iteration.

import java.lang.*

import java.util.*

import java.io.*

def sTestdatafile  ="inputdata.csv"

//get the path of testdata file

def controlfilepath=projectdir+"\\TestData\\+sTestdatafile

//log.info(controlfilepath)

// projectdir = how to get the project dir, pls refer the question no 7

//Read file

File file = new File(controlfilepath)      

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file))

String line=null

row = 1

while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)

{

        //Avoid first line, as those are columns

        if (row >1)

          {

        // log.info "print number value in if condition:"+number

        String[] dataval = line.split(",")

// Assign values to the property

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("sEnv",dataval[1]) 

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("sTestcasename",dataval[2]) 

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("sCustomerNo",dataval[3]) 

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("sCustomerName",dataval[3]) 

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("sExpected",dataval[3]) 

//### Calling the submit request  - Pass the data for each iteration to the submit request ##########

result = testRunner.runTestStep(testRunner.getTestCase().getTestStepByName("Submit Request"))

sleep 2000

}

row = row+1

}

13.  How to get the custom properies?

Custom properties from project level:

def endpoint = context.expand('${#Project#custome property name}')

log.info endpoint

or 

def test =testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getPropertyValue( "custom property name")

log.info test

Test suite level

def testsuite = context.expand( '${#TestSuite#custom property}' )

log.info testsuite

or

• def sTestSuite = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.getPropertyValue( "custom property name")
• log.info sTestSuite

Test case level

def testcase = context.expand('${#TestCase#custom property}' )

log.info testcase
