Pre-installed Script Libraries

A number of basic Java and Groovy classes are imported by default and ready to be used in all the scripting editors in ReadyAPI. These are:

• java.io.*
• java.lang.*
• java.math.BigDecimal
• java.math.BigInteger
• java.net.*
• java.util.*
• groovy.lang.*
• groovy.util.*

There are more libraries that are shipped with ReadyAPI but not imported to the scripting editors by default. You can import them by using the import <library name> command. Here are some of the libraries:

• java.nio.* – Used for low-level I/O operations.
• javax.jms.* – A common way to work with JMS.
• groovy.json.* – Used for parsing and producing JSONs.
• groovy.xml.* – Used for parsing and producing XMLs.
• groovy.sql.* – Used for working with JDBC.
• org.apache.activemq.* – Used for actions with ActiveMQ JMS.
• org.apache.commons.* – Contains many reusable Java components.
• org.apache.http.* – Used for working with HTTP.

Here is a simple example of a script that uses ready-for-import libraries to copy a file. You can run it in the Groovy Script test step editor:

Groovy

Groovy

//Import libraries for working with files
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.Files;

//Create objects for the copied file and the target file
Path source = Paths.get("C:\\Users\\elle.stevenson\\Desktop\\test.xlsx");
Path target = Paths.get("C:\\Users\\elle.stevenson\\Desktop\\out\\copied.xlsx");

//Copy the file
Files.copy(source, target)
