How to get testStep responseAsXml in groovyScript

Question

Concerning soapUI and groovy, I'm trying to get assertion (working) and response both in XML into a variable. I get the error

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.WsdlTestRequestStep.getResponseAsXml() is applicable for argument types: () values: [] error at line: 6

I have tried adding import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.WsdlTestRequestStep but still cant figure it. I did another attempt with message exchange, also to no avail - from what i understand you can't actually use messageExchange in this particular instance

import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.Assertable.AssertionStatus
def TestCase = testRunner.getTestCase()
def StepList = TestCase.getTestStepList()

StepList.each
{
    if(it.metaClass.hasProperty(it,'assertionStatus'))
    {
        if(it.assertionStatus == AssertionStatus.FAILED)
        {
            def ass = it.getAssertableContentAsXml()
            def res = it.getResponseContentAsXml()

            log.error "${it.name} " + "${it.assertionStatus}"
            log.info ass + res

        }
    }
}

If you want to get the response from com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.WsdlTestRequestStep, a possible way is first get the testStep from this class using getTestStep() method.

This method returns a object of class com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestStep, from this object you can get the testSteps properties like request, response, endpoint... using getPropertyValue(java.lang.string) method.

So in your case to get the response use:

def res = it.getTestStep().getPropertyValue('Response')

instead of:

def res = it.getResponseContentAsXml()

As @tim_yates comments the exception description in this case it's pretty clear, so please take a look at the SOAPUI api and at the links provided in the answer for the next time :).

Hope this helps,
