Question

I am going to use soapUI to test the REST API framework.

Is there a way through which i can insert/update records inside the MongoDB with data in a file type(csv, txt etc) using soapUI tool?

What i am trying to do is validate the API calls and update the database from a data file.

If you are willing to use Groovy script, then you can do this pretty easily.

Put your jdbc driver in SoapUI’s bin\ext directory.

https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-java-driver/downloads
(probably where you can it for mongodb)

Then you need roughly these things in your script:

import groovy.sql.Sql

def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
groovyUtils.registerJdbcDriver("org.postgresql.Driver")  // NOT SURE WHAT STRING FOR MONGODB

def connectString = "....."
sql = Sql.newInstance(connectString)  // TEST YOUR CONNECT STRING IN A SQL BROWSER
def misc = sql.firstRow("SELECT * from table")

groovy.sql.Sql is very nice!
