SoapUI with Groovy Script reading values

Question

SoapUI with Groovy I am using SoapUI pro and groovy script. I am reading the customers record from request into the following,

def CustRec = context.expand('${GetProductPriceOffer#Request#/tem:request[1]/quot:Customers[1]}' )

the value in CustRec is,

<quot:Customers>
<quot:Person>
<quot:CustomerType>PRIMARY</quot:CustomerType>
<quot:Sequence>0</quot:Sequence>
</quot:Person>
<quot:Person>
<quot:CustomerType>ADULT</quot:CustomerType>
<quot:Sequence>1</quot:Sequence>
</quot:Person>
</quot:Customers>

Now I want to count the total number of Person objects in Customers (i.e. answer is 2 in this scenario). I tried with while loop but it did not work for me. Can anyone tell how can I achieve using the loops?

Thanks in advance

Your groovy snippet specifies to only get one record from the Customers. Is that the snippet you're using before the loop, or did you modify it? — Josh Edwards

To count all the occurrences of <Person> inside <Customers> you can use count xpath function as follows:

def numPersons =
context.expand('${GetProductPriceOffer#Request#count(//*:Customers/*:Person)}')

Another possibility is to use XmlSlurper instead of using xpath, with it you can count the occurrences of <Person>, but if you need to do more operations you can manipulate the Xml in a easy way. To count the <Person> you can use the follow approach:

def custRec = context.expand('${GetProductPriceOffer#Request}')
// parse the request
def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(custRec)
// find all elements in xml which tag name it's Person
// and return the list
def persons = xml.depthFirst().findAll { it.name() == 'Person' }
// here you've the number of persons
log.info persons.size()

Hope this helps,
