SOAP UI: how to use property in xpath match assertion - xpath

i am testing a WS that adds events for an user. the last event added has an userEventId incremented, so i don't know in advance its value. to recover it, i use a Property Transfer.
Now, i would like to use an xquery match assertion to test my value. But i don't know how to use my property in the equery expression.
this matches:
//events[last()]/userEventId = <userEventId>12</userEventId>
returns:
<xml-fragment>true</xml-fragment>
but this not:
//events[last()]/userEventId = <userEventId>${UserEventId}</userEventId>
returns:
<xml-fragment>false</xml-fragment>
Is there a solution?

I think you need something like:
//events[last()]/userEventId = <userEventId>${#TestCase#UserEventId}</userEventId>
${UserEventId} by itself will not expand to anything in SoapUI.

works using XPath Match assertion:
matches(//events[last()]/userEventId, '${#subscribe_one_event_TestCase#user_event_id}')
returns true.

Add filter to my odata is not working

Add filter to my odata is not working.
here is my api:
http://appsworldapiclient.azurewebsites.net/breeze/ClientCursor/GetContactDetails?companyId=4
I have to apply filter
$filter=startswith(FirstName, 'A') eq true
If i dont have companyId=4 its working fine, but without that my api wont work.
Can anyone help on this?
Actually, I don't think I really understand what you're asking.
From your End point Uri, it seems that you want to call an operation (function/action) named GetContactDetails with a parameter as companyId=4.
Next, you mentioned that you have to put the $filter clause. It seems that you want to do as follows:
http://appsworldapiclient.azurewebsites.net/breeze/ClientCursor/GetContactDetails?companyId=4&$filter=startswith(FirstName, 'A') eq true
If it's true, the above Uri template does not follow up the OData spec.
So, as I think,
if GetContactDetails is an unbound operation, you can do it as:
~/ClientCursor/GetContactDetails(companyId=4)?&$filter=startswith(FirstName, 'A') eq true
If GetContactDetails is an entity set and companyId is the key, you can simply do as:
~/ClientCursor/GetContactDetails(4)?&$filter=startswith(FirstName, 'A') eq true
Of course, if you can show us more codes or metadata, it can help us to understand clearer.

How to make jmeter while controller work

I'm having trouble getting the while controller to work in jmeter.
I've a feeling that I read that it doesn't re-evalute user defined variables, so I am trying to use properties instead.
I start off by using a BSF assertion to set a property called keepLooping
${__setProperty(keepLooping, true)};
This seems to work as it enters the While controller with a condition of
${__property(keepLooping)}
But I cannot for the life of me get it to change that property to something else. I want it to change the property depending on the resulting text of an http request.
So I am using a Regular Expression Extractor to set a variable, which I can see is getting set. Then I am trying to use a BSF assertion to set the keepLooping property on the basis of the variable that I have set. I am using javascript as follows:
log.info("IM IN HERE");
log.info("props is "+props);
//log.info("props keep looping is "+props["keepLooping"]);
if (${surveyRequired} == false){
log.info("IM IN HERE 1A and props is "+props);
${__setProperty(keepLooping, true)};
log.info("IM IN HERE 1B");
}
else {
log.info("IM IN HERE 2A");
${__setProperty(keepLooping, false)};
log.info("IM IN HERE 2B");
}
I can't figure out how to set the property with javascript - I've tried several things. Can anyone help? Many thanks!
Also can anyone recommend a good resource that negotiates what seem to be the many 'quirks' of jmeter? Many thanks!
"I've a feeling that I read that it doesn't re-evalute user defined variables" -- I use JMeter 2.9 and it really does. I use user defined variable in order to count number of loops. It looks like: ${__javaScript(${MY_USER_DEFINED_VARIABLE}>0)}. The only one annoying thing is that I have to get value of variable, increment it, cast to string (toString() in Groovy), and then put new value into MY_USER_DEFINED_VARIABLE (by using vars.putObject("MY_USER_DEFINED_VARIABLE",localBSFVariable))
Using vars.put or props.put will help, as explained in detailed in detail in this jmeter thread.

Is it possible to use Jasmine's toHaveBeenCalledWith matcher with a regular expression?

I have reviewed Jasmine's documentation of the toHaveBeenCalledWith matcher in order to understand whether it's possible to pass in a regular expression for an argument, if that argument is expected to be a string. Unfortunately, this is unsupported functionality. There's also an issue open on github requesting this functionality.
I've dug a bit into the codebase, and I see how it might be possible to implement this inside the existing matcher. I think it would be more appropriate to implement it as a separate matcher though, so that the abstraction is captured individually.
In the meantime, what might be a good workaround?
After doing some digging, I've discovered that Jasmine spy objects have a calls property, which in turn has a mostRecent() function. This function also has a child property args, which returns an array of call arguments.
Thus, one may use the following sequence to perform a regexp match on call arguments, when one wants to check that the string arguments match a specific regular expression:
var mySpy = jasmine.createSpy('foo');
mySpy("bar", "baz");
expect(mySpy.calls.mostRecent().args[0]).toMatch(/bar/);
expect(mySpy.calls.mostRecent().args[1]).toMatch(/baz/);
Pretty straightforward.
As of Jasmine 2.2, you can use jasmine.stringMatching:
var mySpy = jasmine.createSpy('foo');
mySpy('bar', 'baz');
expect(mySpy).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
jasmine.stringMatching(/bar/),
jasmine.stringMatching(/baz/)
);
In Jasmine 2.0 the signature changed a bit. Here it would be:
var mySpy = jasmine.createSpy('foo');
mySpy("bar", "baz");
expect(mySpy.calls.mostRecent().args[0]).toMatch(/bar/);
expect(mySpy.calls.mostRecent().args[1]).toMatch(/baz/);
And the Documentation for Jasmine 1.3 has moved.
Alternatively, if you are spying on a method on an object:
spyOn(obj, 'method');
obj.method('bar', 'baz');
expect(obj.method.argsForCall[0][0]).toMatch(/bar/);
expect(obj.method.argsForCall[0][1]).toMatch(/baz/);
Sometimes it is more readable to write it this way:
spyOn(obj, 'method').and.callFake(function(arg1, arg2) {
expect(arg1).toMatch(/bar/);
expect(arg2).toMatch(/baz/);
});
obj.method('bar', 'baz');
expect(obj.method).toHaveBeenCalled();
It give more clear visibility of method arguments (instead of using array)
As jammon mentioned, the Jasmine 2.0 signature has changed. If you are spying on the method of an object in Jasmine 2.0, Nick's solution should be changed to use something like -
spyOn(obj, 'method');
obj.method('bar', 'baz');
expect(obj.method.calls.mostRecent().args[0]).toMatch(/bar/);
expect(obj.method.calls.mostRecent().args[1]).toMatch(/baz/);

XPath using string functions in the middle of the path

I'm trying to use Web Deploy 3.0 to make changes to my web.config before deployment. Let's say I have the following xml:
<node>
<subnode>
<connectInfo httpURL="http://LookImAUrl.com" />
</subnode>
<node>
And I'd like to match just the "http" in "http://..." so that I can potentially replace it with https.
I looked into XPath string functions and understand them -- I just don't know how to put them in the middle of an expression, for example:
"//node/subnode/connectInfo/#httpURL/substring-before(../#httpURL,':')"
That's basically what I want to do, but it doesn't look right.
"//node/subnode/connectInfo/#httpURL/substring-before(../#httpURL,':')"
That's basically what I want to do, but it doesn't look right.
But it is right and will match the http.
(Btw, you could write it shorter without ..
//node/subnode/connectInfo/#httpURL/substring-before(.,':')
)
However, it will return the string "http" not some kind of pointer pointing to the value of #httpUrl, which is not possible, since there are no partial nodes within the value.
(In XPath 2,) you can return the attribute and a new value, and then perhaps change it in the calling language
//node/subnode/connectInfo/#httpURL/(., concat("https:", substring-after(.,':')))
Using XPath 1.0, if you want to return the initial part of the URL use:
substring-before(//node/subnode/connectInfo/#httpURL,':')
Note though that this will return the value of ONLY the first connectInfo element.
If you want to get the connectInfo nodes that use HTTP:
//node/subnode/connectInfo[starts-with(#httpURL,'http:')]
If you wan to get all httpURL that use HTTP:
//node/subnode/connectInfo/#httpURL[starts-with(.,'http:')]

SoapUI XPath assertion with wildcards

Is there a way to use a wildcard inside an assertion in a XPath test with SoapUI?
I took a look at SoapUI's documentation and they say you can do something like this
<path1>
<path2>*</path2>
</path1>
I checked the 'Allow Wildcards' checkbox.
My question is : I want to assert my date starts with 2012-08-22 but i dont care about the minutes and seconds. I guess my the expression should be something like 2012-08-22* but it doesn't work.
What you are doing sounds like it should work. Here is a quick example i cooked up using a rest service from http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html#timezone. I'm using the demo they have supplied
http://api.geonames.org/timezone?lat=47.01&lng=10.2&username=demo
output is
<geonames>
<timezone tzversion="tzdata2012c">
<countryCode>AT</countryCode>
<countryName>Austria</countryName>
<lat>47.01</lat>
<lng>10.2</lng>
<timezoneId>Europe/Vienna</timezoneId>
<dstOffset>2.0</dstOffset>
<gmtOffset>1.0</gmtOffset>
<rawOffset>1.0</rawOffset>
<time>2012-07-25 04:39</time>
<sunrise>2012-07-25 05:50</sunrise>
<sunset>2012-07-25 21:00</sunset>
</timezone>
</geonames>
If you do an xpath match on the result and use the select from current button you get
//geonames/timezone/time
2012-07-25 04:39
If you update this to
//geonames/timezone/time
2012-07-25*
this will work fine and when updating the rest request with a new lat and lng the assertion will still pass since it is not checking the time. If this doesn't help, please supply your full assertion and maybe i could help more.
*note: for soap requests, make sure to declare the namespace and then use the proper format
//ns1:message
It will be sort of a pain, but here is what you can do:
1) Figure out an Xpath 'base' using the assertion tab (sounds like you are here already). I used this public site to test against: http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl
I used the CornerPoints method with 'hawaii' as the single param.
I created this 'base' xpath:
declare namespace ns1='http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl';
declare namespace SOAP-ENC='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/';
declare namespace SOAP-ENV='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/';
/SOAP-ENV:Envelope/SOAP-ENV:Body/ns1:CornerPointsResponse/listLatLonOut
(it will write the declare statements for you if you click declare)
(which you can test out in the assertions window)
2) Create a Properties step
3) Create a Property transfer step
4) Create a groovy script
5) add a property... i called mine misc
6) add a transfer step
* transfer from the CornerPoints - Request 1 --- Response
* paste the Xpath stuff in the box under the 'transfer from'
* Transfer to your property
(You can test with the little play button)
7) Add something like this to your groovy script:
def x = context.expand( '${Properties#misc}' )
def parts = x.tokenize(',')
for (def part in parts)
{
log.info(part)
if (part.startsWith("-153"))
log.info("good")
}
In the groovy step you can do anything you need to get at your (partial) data. The sample code I added gets lat/lons out of a long line wrapped in CDATA and then checks for just the starting part of some of the data.. just an example.
Remember that you can use groovy and java string methods:
