Clone Test Step into Multiple Test Cases Using Groovy

I have a Test Step that I need to clone into all the Test Cases I have within all the Test Suites. Would the following script work when ran against each Test Suite individually: def slaveTestStep = ...
Clone
Groovy

Hey socaltester,

Have you tried the script? Easiest way to find out if it works is to try it on a small dummy testsuite surely?

Then if it doesnt work you can post any error response you get to assist the diagnosis?

Just a suggestion....whenever im passing anything to qnt variables, u always add logging to ensure its working and to assist diagnosis if it doesnt

Example Result:

def slaveTestStep = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteByName("AdminTestSuite").getTestCaseByName("Authenticate")
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteByName("AdminTestSuite").getTestCaseByName("AppBundles(addBundle)").cloneTestStepByName(slaveTestStep,"Authenticate")Tags (0) authentication

Exception thrown

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: testRunner for class: cloneAuthenticateStep
at cloneAuthenticateStep.run(cloneAuthenticateStep.groovy:1)

 

 

Note: I'm attempting to use the GroovyConsole tool withing SoapUI Pro

 

I'm hoping this might help: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Pro/SoapUI3-5-No-such-property-testRunner-for-clases-Script1/m-p/16055#M7123

 

"...the assertion script does not have access to the testRunner variable..."

 

def testCase = messageExchange.modelItem.testCase

def ResponseMessage = testCase.testSteps["Step1"].testRequest.response.contentAsString

log.debug 'response is :::: ' + ResponseMessage

    Added def testCase - messageExchange.modeItem.testCase

    def testCase = messageExchange.modelItem.testCase
def slaveTestStep = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteByName("AdminTestSuite").getTestCaseByName("Authenticate")
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getTestSuiteByName("AdminTestSuite").getTestCaseByName("AppBundles(addBundle)").cloneTestStepByName(slaveTestStep,"Authenticate")Tags (0) authentication

    Now this is the Exception:

    Exception thrown

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: messageExchange for class: cloneAuthenticateStep

	at cloneAuthenticateStep.run(cloneAuthenticateStep.groovy:1)

      Hey socaltester,

      Is this a groovyscript or script assertion?

      I know testrunner isnt available in script assertions so you need to use messageExchange instead.

      It looks like youve mixed and matched...when you define the testcase variable try using testrunner instead (assuming this is groovy step) of messageExchange.

      Nice one,

        Thank you, Rich. This is to be a Groovy Script. I'll give your recommendation a shot.
