Changing properties dynamically using groovy script

Hi @msiadak

Thank you so much for your reply. I am able to see that each item in the array is given as request for the REST service. So the logic works fine. But, I face issue while the REST service is trying to post. It says that all the items are not enclosed in double quotes. Hence the service is not able to perform its intended function.

The content which is given to the next REST service is not in proper json format. Please let me know your suggestion.

Congratulations!!!I just saw that you have been awarded some gifts.

Instead of setValue try using setPropertyValue, as seen below:

 

 

 

	testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("lists" + i, r[i].toString())

 

The above, I added i to the property name since your script was overwriting the list property with every iteration of the loop. So you want to take this groovy script and use it in a REST request, right?

 

 

 

Then you need to set the request content too. Try this script and see if it helps:

 

 

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def response = context.expand( '${GET schema#Response}' ) /*GET schema is the GET request which returns the response with 12 nodes*/
def r = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)
def n = r.size()
//log.info(r[1])
def i=0
for (i=0;i<n;i++)
{
	testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("lists" + i, r[i].toString())
	def getLocalPropValue = testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("lists" + i)
	log.info(getLocalPropValue) /* to verify that each item is retrieved*/
	testRunner.testCase.testSteps["REST Request"].testRequest.requestContent = r[i];
	testRunner.runTestStepByName("REST Request") /*REST request is the POST service which should be run once for each of the nodes*/
}
