SoapUI : Start/Stop of mock services

When you are testing an application which has various interfaces with different application, you will need many mocks to execute your unit tests. With multiple mocks it is also difficult to manage them. Think of a scenario where the application has interface with 20 or perhaps even more application/web services, and in such cases that many number of mock services. In these kind of scenarios starting and stopping all the mocks is a time taking activity. 

So, why shouldn't we automate them :)

Starting mock service

Below groovy script will help you start all the mock services in the current workspace and minimize them all.

// get Workspace environment
def Envi = context.testCase.testSuite.project.workspace
def NumberOfProject = Envi.getProjectCount()
 
// Get project list
def localProject = context.testCase.testSuite.project
 
// Get SoapUI GUI object to control the same
def SoapGUI = new com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport()
for ( Indx in 0 .. NumberOfProject-1 ) {

    def CurrentProject = Envi.getProjectAt(Indx)
    if( localProject != CurrentProject) {

        def CountCurrentMock = CurrentProject.getMockServiceCount()
        def ListCurrentMock = CurrentProject.getMockServiceList()
        ListCurrentMock.each{

            def CurrentMockService = it
            def CurrentMockName = CurrentMockService.name
            def MockRunnerContext = CurrentMockService.getMockRunner()
            def MockModelItem = CurrentMockService.getModelItem()

            if( MockRunnerContext == null ) {

                log.info "Starting "+CurrentMockService.getName()
                def MockDesktopItem = SoapGUI.selectAndShow( MockModelItem )
                StartContextMock = CurrentMockService.start()    

            }

            else{

                log.warn "Allready started "+CurrentMockService.getName()

            }

        }

        for (ms in CurrentProject.mockServiceList){

            // Open Window and minimize it
            def mockPanel = com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport.showDesktopPanel( ms )
            com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.desktop.minimize( mockPanel )

        }

    }

}

Stopping mock service

Below groovy script will stop all the open mock services and close all the open windows under the current soapUI workspace.

 

    // Define object for current workspace
    def Envi = context.testCase.testSuite.project.workspace
    def NumberOfProject = Envi.getProjectCount()
     
    // Define object to get project
    def localProject = context.testCase.testSuite.project
     
    // Define object to control soapUI GUI interface
    def SoapGUI = new com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport()
     
    for ( Indx in 0 .. NumberOfProject-1 ) {

        def CurrentProject = Envi.getProjectAt(Indx)
        if( localProject != CurrentProject) {

            def CountCurrentMock = CurrentProject.getMockServiceCount()
            def ListCurrentMock = CurrentProject.getMockServiceList()
            ListCurrentMock.each{

                def CurrentMockService = it
                def CurrentMockName = CurrentMockService.name
                def MockRunnerContext = CurrentMockService.getMockRunner()
                def MockModelItem = CurrentMockService.getModelItem()
                if( MockRunnerContext != null ) {

                    log.info "Stoping "+CurrentMockService.getName()
                    MockRunnerContext.stop()

                }
                else
                {

                    log.warn "Allready stopped "+CurrentMockService.getName()

                }

            }

        }

    }
    // Close all open windows
    com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.desktop.closeAll()
