Using Groovy scripts to select Dispatch actions in soapUI

You can use the power of Groovy for selecting MockResponses in soapUI
If your request is of the format :-

<ns1:foo>
  <ns3:data>
    <ns3:CustomerNumber>1234</ns3:CustomerNumber>
  </ns3:data>
</ns1:foo>

You can use the following script :-

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def req = new XmlSlurper().parseText(mockRequest.requestContent)
log.info "Customer #${req.foo.data.CustomerNumber}"
context.result = req.foo.data.CustomerNumber

Here we are using mockRequest.requestContent to get the request soap envelope. We then use the XmlSlurper to parse this. XmlSlurper does not care about namespaces and it can parse XML into a document tree that may be traversed similar to XPath expressions. Doc : http://groovy.codehaus.org/api/groovy/util/XmlSlurper.html

context.result ensures that the MockResponse whose name =CustomerNumber (in this case 1234) is selected as a response.


log.info is for logging and can be tested in the “script log” tab below when you send a request


<SCRIPT LOG PIC>


Other variables that can be used are : mockOperation to select responses based on operation, requestContext and context.


You can have fancy scripts which contain if statements, connect to database, files, inlist etc whatever Groovy supports!


You may also pass back calculations by parsing parameters from request and converting them:-


Sample Response

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:typ=http://example.org/math/>
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <typ:AddResponse>
         <result>${result}</result>
      </typ:AddResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Script

def request = new XmlSlurper().parseText(mockRequest.requestContent)
def a = request.Body.Add.x.toDouble()
def b = request.Body.Add.y.toDouble()
context.result = a + b

You can use XmlHolder as well if you care for namespaces:-


Request

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
<soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <tem:RunScript>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <tem:optionObject>
            <tem:EntityID>5</tem:EntityID>
            <tem:Facility>98</tem:Facility>
              <Forms>
               <FormObject....

Script

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( mockRequest.requestContent ) 
holder.declareNamespace( 'tem', 'http://tempuri.org/')


context.Facility = holder.getNodeValue( "//tem:Facility")
context.EntityID = holder.getNodeValue( "//tem:EntityID")

But in this case you will have to explicitly declare namespaces.

Forza Motorsport 4 Review

Forza Motorsport 4 on XBox Kinect is boring. It has a wide range of vehicle selection, track selection, laps etc but its not fun playing with hands by just adjusting the direction of the car. There is no control for speed, acceleration, gears. This is one of those games that needs a controller to be more fun. I found that if you pick a fairly fast car like a McLaren or Ferrari you can easily beat the opponents to first place. There are some cars like Ford that are very sensitive to direction as you can see in one of the videos below. 

The tracks and circuits are awesome but there is hardly any difference other than the turns and altitude variations. The game has 4 modes: Quick Race, Hot Lap, Split Screen and Autovista. 

The Autovista feature allows user to see fine details of the car. Quick Race is for one player racing. Hot Lap is practice session without opponents and Split Screen is two player. I tested split screen but Kinect had a hard time differentiating between the two players. 

Overall it was a no-brainer and easy game to play on Kinect.

3. On the download page, select the right VMware Player for your architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) and click on the Download button











4. Then open a terminal and run the following command to install some packages needed by the VMware Player installer:  sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
5. Go to Download directory in Terminal /home/<user>/Downloads
6. Check Attributes of VMPlayer:   ll VM*
7. If not executable make the file executable using: chmod 777 VM*
8. Execute the setup using: sudo ./VM*
9. This will launch VMPlayer setup. Follow the instructions to install VMPlayer
10. Once the player is installed you might have to restart host PC and enable VT (vitualization) in BIOS and disable 'trusted execution'
    
    

Blogger draft error

I received the following error while editing HTML code in one of my draft blog posts. I cannot use that post now but I have recovered it by other means. 

HP Laptop Partitions

My HP Laptop came with 3 partitions - SYSTEM, RECOVERY, WINDOWS. I partitioned Windows and installed Ubuntu. Merged RECOVERY into Ubuntu. Now I am still left with the following partitions - SYSTEM, Windows, Ubuntu and others.

Does anyone have idea how I can move towards just 2 partitions -
1. Ubuntu
2. Data

Laptop should boot into Ubuntu. I dont care about recovery or factory reset. Laptop is out of warranty now. I dont need Windows.

Error

If you ever get the following error or something similar to this:-


ERROR: parent directory is world writable, FileUtils#remove_entry_secure does not work; abort: "/tmp/d20100827-5439-1wrj2by" (parent directory mode 40777)

sudo chmod go+rwx /tmp/

and then runs the command again, everything works fine
