Question

I want to define a class in a groovy script that i could reuse trough other groovy script inside SoapUI.

I alredy tried to define my class inside a TestSuite property but it doesn’t work. I would like to avoid defining the class in a JAR because we work in team and every one would have to import the JAR in their SoapUI in order to run my tests. I use SoapUI 3.6.1

Here’s how my TestSuite is made :

TestSuite
  TestCase
    TestSteps
       Init         (Groovy Script)
       GetResponse1 (Test Request)
       Test1        (Groovy Script)
       GetResponse2 (Test Request)
       Test2        (Groovy Script)

To simplify me tests, i defined a class in ‘Test1’ and i would like to reuse this class in ‘Test2’. So ideally i would define that class in ‘Init’ and it would be accessible to any other groovy script.

How can i achieve that?

I am pretty sure that you will have to create a JAR file and put it in \bin\ext.

SoapUI will automatically pick it up on restart (you should see it mentioned in the startup stuff).

You basically just create a Java or Groovy project, Export it (with Eclipse) and it will work. SoapUI will probably have your dependencies covered, but if not you can add those JARs too (safer than creating a runnable JAR since SoapUI might use different versions of what you use).

If you need help, post related questions.
