Hi Raghav, your videos are really educational and useful. They are of great help to me to better understand groovy in automation tests. greetings from Spain.

[@RaghavPal]

Glad to hear that Emilio

[@yatishankarbandyopadhaya1275]

I strongly believe complete newbies like me find it very difficult to understand why are we starting with groovy in the first place. so far i had understood loading the WSDls, end point URLs, sending the request, getting a valid response, creating a test suite>test case>test step. From a practical standpoint it would be helpful for me to know why do i need to learn groovy after this. In my project on webservice testing i didnt need it. So if you could start with a basic intro as to why do we need groovy here will be helpful

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Yatishankar, I got your point. A session on why its needed, where it will help etc will help. Although some of this is mentioned during the sesion, but I can understand for newbies, a separate session will help. Will try to add this

Hi Raghav, You are an awesome teacher. As a student, the only thing that makes us more clear is if you give a meaningful name to a particular test case or test suit or for any method you are using will help us to understand in the best way. I am getting too much confused on name like test suit 1, test case 2, and so on. sorry about that. Else Everything is perfect.

Hi Raghav, @9:45 , the list of printed methods from testRunner class is not having the testCase method. This testCase is very commonly used method right, why is its not available in the list of methods got printed?. Below are the methods names printed [cancel, equals, fail, getClass, getLog, getReason, getResults, getRunContext, getStartTime, getStatus, getTestCase, getTestRunnable, getTimeTaken, gotoStep, gotoStepByName, hashCode, isRunning, notify, notifyAll, runTestStep, runTestStepByName, setMockRunContext, setRunContext, start, toString, wait, waitUntilFinished] Please clarify this doubt.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, pls check the api doc here - www.soapui.org/apidocs/com/eviware/soapui/model/testsuite/TestRunner.html

[@AbhishekGupta-1807]

Sir for me the last demo didn't work the error is " Mon Dec 25 16:11:10 IST 2023:ERROR:An error occurred [Cannot get property 'testCase' on null object], see error log for details "

[@RaghavPal]

Abhishek Here are the steps to address it: 1. Analyze Error Details: Review Error Log: Inspect SoapUI's error log for specific line numbers and clues about the script's context. Check Console Output: Look for additional error messages or stack traces that might provide more insights. 2. Identify Null Object: Examine Variable Usage: Carefully review your script to determine where the testCase property is being accessed. Verify Context: Ensure that the script is executing within a valid test case context where the testCase property should be accessible. 3. Common Causes and Solutions: Incorrect Script Placement: If the script is not within a test case or test step, it won't have access to the testCase property. Move the script to the appropriate location within a test case or test step. Missing Test Case Reference: If the script is in a separate file or custom library, ensure it's properly referencing the test case object. Pass the test case object as a parameter to the script or use appropriate methods to access it. Script Execution Order: If the script depends on other test steps or variables, verify that they are executing in the correct order. Adjust the test case structure or use conditional logic to ensure proper execution flow. Global Properties: If you're using global properties, double-check their names and values to ensure they are defined correctly. 4. Debugging Tips: Use Logging: Add log.info statements to print variable values and track script execution flow. Isolate the Issue: Comment out parts of the script to narrow down the problematic code. Test Incrementally: Build and test your script in small, manageable sections. 5. Additional Considerations: SoapUI Version: If you're using an older SoapUI version, consider upgrading to avoid compatibility issues. Script Complexity: For complex scripts, consider using techniques like modularization and error handling to improve readability and maintainability.

[@zonacs4259]

Hi Raghav, firstly i thank you for your tutorial serie, very helpful also because regarding SoaupUi, there aren't much guides out of here nowdays. So, i want to ask you one ore more practical use cases to implement a object-oriented program in a api test. I've seen this when implementing Selenium with customs libraries in e2e testing, but i can't immagine a usefull case in api testing.

[@RaghavPal]

While object-oriented programming (OOP) isn't as prevalent in API testing as it is in UI testing, there are certainly practical use cases where it can bring significant benefits: 1. Modeling Complex Data Structures: * API responses or requests often involve nested objects and arrays. Object-oriented data structures like classes and interfaces can effectively represent these complexities, making tests more readable and maintainable. * Create dedicated classes for "user", "order", "product", etc., with properties and methods reflecting their real-world counterparts. 2. Reusability and Modularity: * Break down common test logic into reusable methods within classes. This promotes code reuse and reduces duplication across tests. * Implement "base classes" for common API interactions (authentication, authorization), and inherit them for specific tests, reducing boilerplate code. 3. Encapsulation and Abstraction: * Encapsulate complex logic within methods or properties, hiding implementation details and improving test readability. * Use interfaces to define expected behaviors without specifying concrete implementations, promoting flexibility and future changes. 4. Data-Driven Testing: * Create classes to encapsulate different test data sets, making data-driven testing more organized and scalable. * Use inheritance or composition to create variations of test data based on specific scenarios. 5. Mocking and Stubbing: * Develop custom mock objects mimicking external dependencies (third-party APIs, databases) using OOP principles. * This allows isolation and control of these dependencies in your tests. Examples: * Product API testing: Create a `Product` class with properties like ID, name, price, and methods for CRUD operations. Write tests that interact with the API using this class for clarity and reuse. * Authentication testing: Build an `Authentication` class with methods for login, logout, and token management. Leverage inheritance for specific authentication flows (OAuth, Basic Auth). Remember, OOP isn't always necessary, but when dealing with complex APIs or aiming for maintainable and scalable tests, it can provide significant advantages. Don't hesitate to adopt it when it enhances your testing practices.

[@SagarSagar-ro3fj]

context Analogy...if i understand it correctly ... once we create a class and its methods, then we call it from different class. But, here we need to define variable to the class -def testStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Hello"); .this is something like deciding which which fun activity to go in the amusement park. Once we decide, we need a different passes/tickets to play the different rides. these pass/tickets are "Context" testStep.run(testRunner, context); . Once we get the pass we get access to that ride/area in amusement park. Once we do enter there we can play the ride which is actual function calling activity. context.Hello.sayHello() Lol..just trying to figure it out.confirm if this right and easy way to understand context..because context object is used in different languages as well for example dart in flutter.

[@philb4462]

Thanks again for your great course. Is it possible to run a Selenium script using a Groovy step in a SoapUI test case? Do you go into that later in your video series? At work we have a step that needs to be carried out from a screen interface because there is no WSDL for it. Also, I have a specific question about something I want to do on a project for my job. Would you consider doing a one-to-one session with me? I don't think it would take very long.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Phil, You can do that, although not covered here. You can add selenium jars and then use groovy script or can also call a java jar for this.

Hi Raghav, I have one query.In the 'CallHello' test step , why did you write testStep.run(testRunner,Context) ? I could not understand the need for that line of code. Thanks, Minu

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Minu, log, context and testRunner are global variables and is present everytime in SoapUI. Now I may not go very deep but you can directly use them in your scripts as and when required and there are some in built syntaxes like the one above. You may check more in the documentation

[@gullasridhar8720]

Hi sir, i have a doubts 1. If we mentioned path parameter wrong in the uri what status code we get and we mentioned wrong Query parameter what status we get, we get 404 only for both path and query parameters or we get different status code. 2. what is the main difference between Bearer token and Token generated through API

[@RaghavPal]

Here are the answers to your SoapUI API testing questions: 1. Status Codes for Incorrect Parameters: - Incorrect Path Parameter: - Most likely results in a 404 Not Found status code, indicating the requested resource doesn't exist at the specified path. - Incorrect Query Parameter: - Varies depending on API implementation: - Might return a 400 Bad Request status code if the parameter is invalid or essential for processing. - Could return a 404 Not Found if the parameter is crucial for resource identification. - Might ignore invalid parameters and return a 200 OK status code with potentially unexpected results. Key takeaways: - API documentation should specify expected status codes for different error scenarios. - Testing with both correct and incorrect parameters is crucial for robust API testing. 2. Differences Between Bearer Token and API-Generated Token: - Bearer Token: - Self-contained access token representing authorization to access protected resources. - Typically obtained through OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect flows. - Used by adding "Bearer" keyword before the token in the Authorization header. - Example: `Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...` - API-Generated Token: - Created by the API itself upon successful authentication or other actions. - Specific usage varies depending on API design: - Can be used for authorization, session management, or other purposes. - Might be included in request headers, query parameters, or body data. - Example: `Authorization: Token 1234567890abcdef` Key takeaways: - Bearer tokens are a standardized way to handle authorization in web APIs. - API-generated tokens offer flexibility for custom authentication and authorization mechanisms. - API documentation should clarify the types of tokens used and their intended usage. Additional considerations for SoapUI: - Use test steps to set appropriate headers for different token types. - Assert expected status codes to verify API behavior in response to incorrect parameters. - Leverage SoapUI's test suites and reporting features for comprehensive API testing.

Raghav very thank you for all these tutorials and that you give us for free! You are the best! I also have a youtube channel where I explain different things. You are my role model. I'd like to have a question, I have written a groovy script where I read data from excel and I'd like to do that my only test case loops through the rows that are in excel. So one row in excel stores all the data for one test case and each line means a different test case, but the test case form (all the request, etc) are the same. Or in other words, I have only one test case which contains all the necessary things. It has a groovy script which reads the rows from excel and every row means a complete run of the test case. p.s. I have a soapUI project where I have setup scripts which contain a class but it doesnt contain these variables that you say the class should contain. Another question which I'd like to have at the end of the video, what is the reason of these method invocations order: project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project ?

Hi Nirmal, it depends on the need, features, budget etc. JMeter is free and lots of online support is available.

@Automation Step by Step project =testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project; tcase = project.testSuites("TestSuite3").testCases("TestCaseName1"); hello = tcase.getTestStepByName("Hello"); hello.run(testRunner, context) context.Hello.sayHello("Vipin") For this Program i didn't got the proper output ; groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject.testSuites() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [TestSuite3] Possible solutions: getTestSuites() error at line: 2

Hi Vipin, you have used circular brackets (). Try using square brackets [] tcase = project.testSuites("TestSuite3").testCases("TestCaseName1");

Hi Ragav project =testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project; tcase = project.testSuites("TestSuite3").testCases("TestCaseName1"); hello = tcase.getTestStepByName("Hello"); hello.run(testRunner, context) context.Hello.sayHello("Vipin") Output : got this below error please help . groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlProject.testSuites() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [TestSuite3] Possible solutions: getTestSuites() error at line: 2

Hi Vipin, the syntax is wrong. it should be tcase = project.testSuites["TestSuite3"].testCases["TestCaseName1"] ; it is square brackets and not circular brackets

Not working for me

Let me know the issue with logs Harsh

[@anitha3469]

how to write this in a single line? project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project ; tcase = project.testSuites["TestSuite3"].testCases["TestCase1"] ; hello = tcase.getTestStepByName("Hello");

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Anitha, I believe I replied to a similar question earlier. Just try to combine these like hello = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.testSuites["TestSuite3"].testCases["TestCase1"].getTestStepByName("Hello")

I got confused by listening "Hello" multiple times.

Sorry for that Balpreet
