Some Groovy on Soapui tests :)

Write some entry in a file like below.

[serkans@serkanslnx ~] cat /home/serkans/phoneNumbersOnly.txt
9001234560
9001234561
9001234562
9001234563
9001234564
9001234565
9001234566
9001234567
9001234562
9001234568
9001234562
9001234569

Create a test step , right click on it , Select add new Step , Select Groovy Script.Enter the following lines to it.Play Run button on the window to execute it.Do some customization to run it.File path etc..



// read the file as a properties file, but it is not :)we will get only keys from it
def properties = new java.util.Properties();
properties.load( new java.io.FileInputStream("/home/serkans/phoneNumbersOnly.txt" ));
//get a random index acc. file's line size
Random r = new Random();
def randomIndex  = r.nextInt(properties.size());
            def valueFromFile = (String) properties.entrySet().toArray()[randomIndex].toString();
            valueFromFile = valueFromFile.toString().replaceAll("=","");
log.info(valueFromFile);
return valueFromFile;


After than you need to transfer this value by using another type of Steps in soapui.
Select add new Step , Select "Property Transfer" ,Select GroovyScript as Source and select result as Property to transfer on it,Select your "Test Request" as destination and select Request as Destination.And write "//par1[@*]" to the target window.
     Look at the picture for better understanding.That is why i prefer to watch rather than reading generally:)

It will provide you Random values from file.You can use in your load tests.Enjoy!
