I have a question. Do you think it is possible to show my ability to testing with this tool by adding code with test scenarios to some example webservie to github and then show it to someone?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Damian, you can do

Hi Raghav..Your videos are amazing! I am new to api testing sInce i need knowledge on Rest APi testing using Soap UI for my next project i was watching your tutorial and so far completed watching till part 10..it was very useful and i will watch the remaining. But i have doubt here that why Groovy is important to run a test when we can do the same from GUI..? Is there any additional thing that Groovy does than GUI?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Balaji, While doing manual testing, you can easily run from GUI, During Automation, you may need to run tests with in automated manner and with some conditions. During that time this knowledge will be handy

Hi Raghav, just wanted to point out something, happened to me, it may happen to anyboldy else: 1. there may be an error not loading plugins, for that you have to go to C:\Users\>user>\.soapuios there you will find a folder 'plugins', you have to rename it to something else so when you run the cmd it will not crash 2. if using something like com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logMonitor.getLogArea("script log").clear() to clear the log in soap each time you run it, that will not work in cmd either. Thanks again for tutorials! :)

[@testingtrail]

Here's solution for second issue: if(!com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.isCommandLine() ){ com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logMonitor.getLogArea("script log").clear() }

Hi Raghav - Thanks for the great videos. I have question, while running from command line the summary report showing the details of entire testing. Is there a way to get Individual transaction time for each test cases instead total time in summary report? thanks.

I have a question. When running Test Case 2 using groovy, the "Hello " output text from the test case2's groovy script wasn't displayed anywhere. Why is that?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Jon, it must be visible in the log of the specific step

Is manual testing compulsory for learning selenium?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Rahul, its not compulsory, you can learn concepts with automation testing as well

[@akashkapade5658]

Hi Raghav, how can we run multiple test cases at a time using Groovy Script?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Akash, I have not tried it, Pls check community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/How-to-execute-soapui-test-cases-parallel-and-in-one-go/td-p/38467

[@akashkapade5658]

Thank you. Also thanks for such a nice knowledge sharing on different topics.

[@lizjiang1919]

Hi Raghav, I copied and pasted the command from the testRunner, but the format was different than yours, and I did not get result message, only the error messages. Could you help me with this?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Liz, pls check the logs, do you get any info there

How to export logout of a groovy step into a file

[@RaghavPal]

Anitha If you're using SoapUI and want to export the output of a Groovy step into a file, you can achieve this by writing the results to a text file. Below are a couple of approaches you can use: 1. Writing Results to a File Using Groovy: - In your Groovy script, you can create a new file and write the desired information to it. Here's an example of how you can modify your existing script to export the results to a file: ```groovy def numElements = 10 // Replace with your actual results def matches = "Some matching codes" // Replace with your actual matches def fails = "Some failure details" // Replace with your actual failures // Exporting results to a file def today = new Date() def sdf = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy-hh-mm") def todayStr = sdf.format(today) def filePath = "/User/documents/${todayStr}_report.txt" def file = new File(filePath) file.write("Number of nodes: $numElements ") file.append("Matching codes: $matches ") file.append("Fails: $fails ") ``` - Make sure to replace the placeholders (`numElements`, `matches`, and `fails`) with your actual data. The script will create a file named `report.txt` in the specified directory. 2. Using a Log File for Results: - You can also redirect the `println` output to a log file. This approach is useful for continuous logging during test execution. Here's an example: ```groovy def logFile = new File("output.log") // Assuming you have some variables like lastBuildEnvVars def entry = "Result: ${lastBuildEnvVars['PRODUCT_NAME']} Version: ${lastBuildEnvVars['PRODUCT_VERSION']} " + "Time: ${lastbuild.timestampString} " logFile.append(entry) ``` - Modify the `entry` string to include the relevant information you want to log. The `logFile.append(entry)` line will add the entry to the log file. Remember to adjust the paths and customize the content according to your specific use case. all the best..

[@kshitijrastogi5674]

Hi, Why do we use the code "new com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToObjectMap()" if null gives us the same response ? Also why does setting value as true gives "Finished" while setting value as false gives us "Running" in the output section?? Please Help..

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Kshiti, you will need to check the api docs of the classes for this.
