SOAP
Although k6 doesn’t have any built-in APIs for working with SOAP or XML data in general, you can still easily load test a SOAP-based API by crafting SOAP messages and using the HTTP request APIs.
Making SOAP requests
import http from 'k6/http';
import { check, sleep } from 'k6';
const soapReqBody = `
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:hs="http://www.holidaywebservice.com/HolidayService_v2/">
<soapenv:Body>
<hs:GetHolidaysAvailable>
<hs:countryCode>UnitedStates</hs:countryCode>
</hs:GetHolidaysAvailable>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>`;
export default function () {
// When making a SOAP POST request we must not forget to set the content type to text/xml
const res = http.post(
'http://www.holidaywebservice.com/HolidayService_v2/HolidayService2.asmx',
soapReqBody,
{
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/xml' },
}
);
// Make sure the response is correct
check(res, {
'status is 200': (r) => r.status === 200,
'black friday is present': (r) => r.body.indexOf('BLACK-FRIDAY') !== -1,
});
sleep(1);
}
