    The ReadyAPI request will contain whatever Request Body example is defined in the OpenAPI spec. But as for generating a datasource from that, currently its not available.

Hi LennSar ,

I hope I understand your question so this might help.
Have you looked at the Data Generator option in the DataSource test step? You could set up your properties, and generate randomized day, month and year.

 

Then, in your body you can reference the properties from the DataSource

{
	"year" : ${Data Source#year},
	"month" : ${Data Source#month},
	"day" : ${Data Source#day}
}

    Hi MConneely,

     

    thanks for the hint. I previously did take a look at the data source feature and it definetelly is doing what I would expect at the end. What I would love to have though is that this data source and the body as you described it would be generated automatically based on the information given in the OpenApi documentation. But I guess ReadyApi isn't capable of doing that (yet) is it?

        Allright. Thanks for clarifying and showing how to do it manually! Much appreciate it.
