Dynamically attach file in SOAPUI Pro

Hello,

 

I'm currently in the process of migrating jmeter scripts to soapUI. In jmeter, you just have to put the file path of the file to dynamically upload it.

 

Is there are a way in soapUI pro that works like this?

 

Thanks!

    You can define two custom properties at test case level.

    DIRECTORY_NAME - provide the directory where the file is present; use "/" as path separator even on windows.

    FILE_NAME - provide name of the file.

    The above can be done thru script as well in case you are getting the value automatically.

    For the request step, there are two columns it requires to be filled

    1. Name - ${#TestCase#DIRECTORY_NAME}/${#TestCase#FILE_NAME}

    2. ContentID - ${#TestCase#FILENAME}

    Then, I believe, you are done.

    what are trying to achieve? a soap request with file attachment? Yes it is possible to do so.

    By the way, please elaborate "what you mean by dynamically attach"?

      For example, I have to upload many files. Is there a way that I can only put the file path of the files and don't have to manually attach it?

        You may be able to utilize groovy scripting to automate that part.
