Attaching file in SoapUI with groovy - soap

Question

I'm creating some tests in SoapUI. SOAP request, that i want to test has attachment. When I'm setting it manualy, everything is ok:
But in my case, i need to set attachment dynamically. I'm trying to made it by properties to hold file path, and groovy script to set attachment. but it's not work at all:
// get request
def request = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName( "UploadRoutingCodes" ).testRequest
// clear existing attachments
for( a in request.attachments ) {
request.removeAttachment( a )
}
// get file to attach
//def fileName = context.expand( '${Source of data#PathToXRC File data name }' )
def fileName = context.expand( '${#TestCase#XRC_file_name}' )
def filePath = context.expand( '${#Project#XRC_files_path}' )
log.info "file: " + filePath + fileName
def file = new File(filePath + fileName )
if ( file == null) {
log.error "bad filename"
}
else
{
// attach and set properties
def attachment = request.attachFile( file, true )
attachment.contentType = "application/octet-stream"
def list = fileName.tokenize("\\");
attachment.setPart(list.last())
}
After run this script, request look like this:
Documentation to SoapUI is not helpful at all.
So, my question is: what i'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

I found the answer:
def holder2 = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "UploadRoutingCodes#Request" ) // Get Request body
def startDate2 = holder2.setNodeValue( "//blac:FileByteStream","cid:"+list.last()); //Set "link" to attachment in request body
holder2.updateProperty() //and update
attachment.setPart(list.last()); //set attachment

Answer 2

Thaven, thank you for your answer. It helped. I will attach my full groovy script as I spent some time to fully assembled your parts, but anyhow all tributes goes to you.
Please note that:
//FileNamePath
def fileNamePath = testCase.getTestStepAt(testRunner.testCase.getTestStepIndexByName("FileNameProperties")).getProperty("FileNamePath")
//FileName
def fileName = testCase.getTestStepAt(testRunner.testCase.getTestStepIndexByName("FileNameProperties")).getProperty("FileName")
are the test step properties defined inside the test case. Filename: my_sample_filename.xml and FileNamePath: C:\samples\my_sample_filename.xml accordingly.
import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder
import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.*
import java.util.Random
import java.security.MessageDigest
import java.nio.file.*
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def projectPath = groovyUtils.projectPath
log.info projectPath
def project = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project
log.info "Project: " + project.name
def myTestSuite = testRunner.testCase.testSuite;
log.info "TestSuite: " + myTestSuite.name
def testCase = testRunner.testCase
log.info "TestCase: " + testCase.name
def testStepUploadDataAfterCheck = testCase.getTestStepByName("UploadDataAfterCheck")
def request= testStepUploadDataAfterCheck.testRequest
log.info "TestStep: " + testStepUploadDataAfterCheck.name
// clear existing attachments
for( a in request.attachments ) {
request.removeAttachment( a )
}
//FileNamePath
def fileNamePath = testCase.getTestStepAt(testRunner.testCase.getTestStepIndexByName("FileNameProperties")).getProperty("FileNamePath")
//FileName
def fileName = testCase.getTestStepAt(testRunner.testCase.getTestStepIndexByName("FileNameProperties")).getProperty("FileName")
// get file to attach
log.info "file to attach: " + fileNamePath.getValue()
def file = new File(fileNamePath.getValue() )
if ( file == null) {
log.error "bad filename"
}
else
{
// attach and set properties
def attachment = request.attachFile( file, true )
attachment.contentType = "application/octet-stream"
attachment.setPart(fileName.getValue())
def holder2 = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( "UploadDataAfterCheck#Request" ) // Get Request body
holder2.setNodeValue( "//upl:UploadDataAfterCheckRequest/uploadedData","cid:"+fileName.getValue()); //Set "link" to attachment in request body
holder2.updateProperty() //and update
log.info "file attached succesfully"
}
And here is my soap request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:upl="http://www.acer.europa.eu/aris/upload">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<upl:UploadDataAfterCheckRequest>
<uploadedData>cid:my_sample_filename.xml</uploadedData>
</upl:UploadDataAfterCheckRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
