Rule for automatically setting constant value across all my request paths

Hi,   In my case the /Request/Path/0 value changes in every release. I need help in seting up a user defined rule that will help me setting a constant value in Headers--> Request/Path/0

Hi SagarShroff

 

I have been thinking about how to accomplish this. There is not currently a quick way to do it, but I believe if you spend some time on the script, it will be very easy to change in the future. This is how I would approach it:

 

  1. Create a constant variable that contains the value you want in the request path.
  2. For each request in your scenario that will have a changing URL, create a Data Replacer for the request path. I attached an screenshot you can use as an example.
  3. When the request path value changes in a future release, simply edit the constant variable you created and all the requests using the data replacer will be updated automatically.

I also suggest going to our feature request forum and requesting some "find / replace all" functionality that could simplify this process going forward.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @

 

Thanks for your quick reply and for your efforts for approaching to my problem.

Actually i had already done one time investment of development where i had replaced all my request path value with variable.

In next release a fix was implemented and http request were updated, due to which i had to re-record my requests in order to incorporate the changes.

 

As you mentioned a search-replace fits a perfect solution to my problem, i have already raised a requirement in the support group.
