Generate random number in Soap UI using Java

[floctc]

Hello,
I want to genere a random number inside an xml page opened in SoapUI, in order to test a web service.

I have tried this :

Code: Select all

<msisdn>079999${=(int)(Math.random()*9999)} </msisdn>

It works, but i need only 10 number digit (a phone number )

I thought I could use some java methods to get this :

Code: Select all

NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(4);
nf.setGroupingUsed(false);
System.out.println(nf.format((int)(Math.random()*9999)));


Or :
[code]
System.out.println(String.format("%04d", new Random().nextInt(9999)));
[code]

Unfortunatly it does'nt work, because Groovy doesn't know NumberFormat or Radom...

Have you any solution for my problem?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

In a project I created with soapUI it was looking for a possibility to bring functionality to library. In the Open Source version of soapUI you create jars and you have to store those in folder <installation directory>/bin/ext/.

Maybe you can use this either. You just code you function in Java and create a jar-file. This can be used by Groovy script very easily.

To ensure a special number of digits I would recommend to use datatype String. In XML-document you will not have trouble with it.

This solution might not be the most efficient but it will work.

Hi,

If you want to create a random number with 10 digits, use the following groovy script:

Code: Select all

int a = 9
nr = ""
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
   random = new Random()
   randomInteger= random.nextInt(a)
   nr = nr + randomInteger
}
log.info nr

If you want to limit the value of a digit on a specific spot (for instance, the first digit is always a zero) you can use nr.lenght() to assert the digit-position:

Code: Select all

int a = 9
nr = ""
for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
   if(nr.length() < 1)
   {
      nr = nr + "0"
   }
   else
   {
      random = new Random()
      randomInteger= random.nextInt(a)
      nr = nr + randomInteger
   }
}
log.info nr

Of course you still need to set the value of nr to the correct parameter in your XML...

Thanks for your help, it works better than an other solution I have found later :

Code: Select all

<msisdn>079999${=((int)Math.random()*(9999-1000)+1000)}</msisdn>


The post is solved.

This solution works great. I set the random number to stop at 5 digits:
int a = 9
nr = ""
for(i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
random = new Random()
randomInteger= random.nextInt(a)
nr = nr + randomInteger
}
log.info nr

However, how would I make it so that the number generated couldn't go higher than say 50000?

Hiya

Don't know if it would help but I am using a much shorter random number string that will write to a property.

//Generate TransactionID
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("TransID", String.valueOf((int)Math.random()*1000000000) );

This gives me a random 9 digit number between 000000001 & 999999999.
