Resource Root in 2.5.1

A previous post indicated the ${projectDir} variable may not be working in version 2.5.1.

Whether I set the project "Resource Root" property to ${projectDir} or put in an absolute path.

In both cases a debug in a test case set up script returns nothing.

log.info context.expand( '${#Project#Resource Root}');

    Hi,

    If I understand you correctly, and you were trying to
    run your code from TestCase set up script, you should check the output at Groovy log. Hope that's what you where looking for.

    Hi Jan,

    Very sorry for giving you a misleading answer, it seems I didn't understand you wright .
    What you really need to do in setup script is 


    log.info context.testCase.testSuite.project.resourceRoot;


    the output you should get will be in groovy log

    debug code
    log.info context.testCase.testSuite.project.resourceRoot;


    In a test case setup script the above debug code returns

    java.lang.NullPointerException


    In a groovy test case step the above debug code returns 

    Fri Mar 20 17:53:13 PDT 2009:INFO:C:\Temp


    or 

    Fri Mar 20 18:04:13 PDT 2009:INFO:${projectDir}

    After more testing I think context does not work at the test suite or test case level.

    I can get the value in Resource Root at the test suite setup script with:

    log.info testSuite.project.resourceRoot;

    or at the test case level with:

    log.info testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.resourceRoot;

    BTW why does ${projectDir} fail to resolve. If I set Resource Root this value, which is in the drop down, the above debug returns the the string "${projectDir}". I'd expect the actual project folder value .

    Hi Jan,

    you need to expand value to get its actual value with something like

    def resourceRoot = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.resourceRoot
    resourceRoot = com.eviware.soapui.model.propertyexpansion.PropertyExpansionUtils.expandProperties( resourceRoot )

    Hope this helps!

    Ole,

    At the test suite level when Resource Root is ${projectDir}

    def resourceRoot = testSuite.project.resourceRoot
    resourceRoot = com.eviware.soapui.model.propertyexpansion.PropertyExpansionUtils.expandProperties( resourceRoot )

    resolves to null.

    For the time being I've had to explicitly set (hard code) Resource Root to to my project folder path.

    Hello,

    Do it like this:



    def resourceRoot = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.resourceRoot
    log.info context.expand( resourceRoot )



    Let me know if this helps,

    robert
