How to attach a text documents to SOAP request?

*Background

The user is trying to attach a text document to a soap request but Katalon Studio doesn't support attaching documents to the SOAP request.

*Workaround

There is already planning for this feature from the product team. You can find the attached sample project as a workaround, we recommend reading the README file first in the sample project to follow step-by-step instructions on how to do so.

To get response objects from our custom keyword, you need:

• Open SoapKeywords file, copy and replace the current method sendSOAPRequestWithAttachments with this scrip

@Keyword

def sendSOAPRequestWithAttachments(RequestObject soapRequest, Map<String, File> attachmentLookup, boolean inlineAttachments) {

def attachments = prepareAttachments(attachmentLookup)

def httpRequest = SoapRequestUtil.buildRequestWithAttachments(soapRequest, attachments, inlineAttachments)

HarLogger harLogger = new HarLogger()

harLogger.initHarFile()

def httpResponse = HttpUtil.sendRequest(httpRequest)

long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

ResponseObject responseObject = new SoapClient(RunConfiguration.getProjectDir(), RunConfiguration.getProxyInformation())

.toResponseObject(httpResponse);

long waitingTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;

responseObject.setWaitingTime(waitingTime);



harLogger.logHarFile(soapRequest, responseObject, RunConfiguration.getReportFolder())

WSResponseManager.getInstance().setCurrentRequest(soapRequest)

return responseObject

}

• In test case, the return value of the CustomKeywords.'webservice.soap.SoapKeywords.sendSOAPRequestWithAttachments' now is the response object

ResponseObject responseObject = CustomKeywords.'webservice.soap.SoapKeywords.sendSOAPRequestWithAttachments'(requestObject, [ "${avatarCid}": avatarFile ], inlineAttachment)
