How to Validate response using Groovy Script and Xquery Parameter

Validate Response in SoapUI-

1. Xquery Parameter

2. Groovy Script
This is the web Service which I have used for validating the response. http://webservices.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo/CountryInfoService.wso?WSDL


1. Xquery Parameter -


While Running this request "ListContinentsByName", I got multiple values with attribute Code and Name in response.





For X Query we need to run request first.

Click on Assertion Tab.


Click on + Sign to add Assertion then it will open window.


Property Content -> XQuery Match ->ADD


It will give you a XQuery Window to perform operation


Click on Declare button



It will be shown like this-


declare namespace
soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/';
declare namespace
m='http://www.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo';


Follow the Code - see below for explanation of code-



<Result>
{
for $x in //m:tContinent
return
<List>
<Code> { $x/*:sCode/text()} </Code>
<Name> {$x/*:sName/text()} </Name>
</List>
}
</Result>

Click on Select from current from Expected result field.


The Output looks like this when you hit the "Select from current" button in Expected result field.











Let's Understand the line of syntax I used to get response with single node with different values.


As with XPath assertions, you'll need to make some namespace declarations; click the Declare button at the top of the editor to let soapUI do this for you.
As SOAP response in XML so we need to follow expression in XML.
With opening bracket tag with respective name followed by For clause - for $x in //m:tContinent


The for clause here, translates to "for each member in the set of element returned by //m:tContinent".


The return clause does the heavy lifting data associated with each element via XPath expression. In our example, $x/*:sCode/text() - return the value of Code element.


* plays node root we can say "m" as well if you see my response Looks like
<m:sCode>CK</m:sCode>
<m:sName>Cook Islands</m:sName>
The text() function simply indicates that you want the the actual inner value (Value between tags).


In Simple words,
//It declares iteration and XPath is where similer nodes are present
for $x in //ns:<XPath>
//It will return all values of the attribute

return {$x/ns:<Attribute>}



2) Groovy Script-


Groovy script code written in java script with give more flexibility in code coverage and modify application according to our perfection.




Go to request -> Right click -> Insert Steps -> Groovy Script -> open Groovy Script


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



def respsone=groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("ListOfContinentsByName#Response")


// Provide node value using get method
def Code = respsone.getNodeValues("//*:sCode")
def ContinentName = respsone.getNodeValues("//*:sName")


// Printing as a list ISOCode
log.info ISOCode.toString()


//Printing as a list of Name
log.info ContinentName.toString()


// Printing as individual item from Array
for(def var in Code)
log.info var
for(def var in ContinentName)
log.info var







The Output look like below,
