How to Parse SOAP response which contains a JSON with in it as a variable contains authtoken to further use in next request

harsh.vardhan · August 29, 2022, 9:44am

Hello Everyone,

Someone can help me out here as i am totally new with Katalon Studio things with Groovy.

My Question is as below:
A Login request which is in SOAP

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Body>
    <LoginUser xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
      <parameters>{ "LoginId": "${GlobalVariable.baseloginid}", "Password": "${GlobalVariable.baseloginidpassword}", "DeviceId": "Deviceid1","LogoutFromWebsite": "true","DeviceName":"${GlobalVariable.DeviceName}","IpAddress":"${GlobalVariable.IpAddress}","StartMode":"1"}</parameters>
    </LoginUser>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Its response is below:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Body>
    <LoginUserResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
      <LoginUserResult>{"AuthenticationToken":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJWYWxpZGF0aW9uIFRva2VuIiwiaXNzIjoiRGV2aWNlaWQxIiwiZXhwIjoiOS8yOC8yMDIyIDY6MDQ6MTAgUE0iLCJhdWQiOiJhMzIwYzRhYzIwZDIwMWY5MGViYWNlZTU4MzdjOTExZSJ9.WBejY4jbPoMW3J7RTwqlh-vIdRzSuKq98GjYk9IImHw","LoginId":"User 3","DeviceName":"Device 1","Status":"200","Code":0}
      </LoginUserResult>
    </LoginUserResponse>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Now i want to make AuthenticationToken as a Global variable to use in some other request which is required.

As i am using Test Listener before the Test Suite execution

class Authentication {
	/**
	 * Executes before every test suite starts.
	 * @param testSuiteContext: related information of the executed test suite.
	 */
	private void setToken()
		{
	//set token to global variable 'Token'
	def authentication_response = 	WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('Object Repository/Login'))
	
	WS.verifyResponseStatusCode(authentication_response, 200, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)
	
	def response = new XmlSlurper().parseText(authentication_response.getResponseBodyContent())
	
	print response.LoginUserResponse.LoginUserResult
	
	println (response.LoginUserResponse.LoginUserResult)
	
	JsonSlurper slurper = new JsonSlurper()
	Map parsedJson_Authentication2 = slurper.parseText(response.LoginUserResponse.LoginUserResult)

	KeywordUtil.logInfo("TOKEN received:    " + parsedJson_Authentication2.AuthenticationToken)

	GlobalVariable.Token = parsedJson_Authentication2.AuthenticationToken
	
	KeywordUtil.logInfo("TOKEN set to Global variable :    " + GlobalVariable.Token)
}

	@BeforeTestSuite
		def beforeTestSuite()
		{
			//set global variables
			setToken()	
		}
}

Console Log:

But after that its end up here.

In your code you have some statements that call “println” “WebUI.comment”. What did you see?

Please tell us the messages you saw in the LogViewer and the Console log.

kazurayam · August 29, 2022, 11:39am

What is LoginUserResponse? What is LoginUserResult? I do not find these 2 names in the XML document presented above, so I havd no idea why you use these 2 names in the print xxxx statement.

Did you edit the XML document above to shorten the previous post? Did you remove a <LoginUserRepose> element and a <LoginUserResult> element? If so, don’t do that. That makes it impossible for others to understand you. Please share the whole XML document.

Hi @kazurayam , due to copy paste actual response not visible, now please check.

And also Console Log has been updated in original post.

kazurayam · August 29, 2022, 1:43pm

This error was caused by the following statement in your test case script:

def response = new XmlSlurper().parseText(authentication_response.getResponseBodyContent())

The method call getResponseBodyContent() returned an instance of groovy.util.slurpersupport.NodeChildren, not a String. So the error occured.

You need the text value of the NodeChildren object.

According to the GroovyDoc at NodeChildren (Groovy 2.4.6)

you could try

def response = new XmlSlurper().parseText(authentication_response.getResponseBodyContent().text())

Hi @kazurayam i tired but still giving error in Console.

kazurayam · August 30, 2022, 11:36am

please report with detail information. Withoug information disclosed others can not understand you.
