Data Sink - "java.lang.Exception: Failed to prepare the step [DataSink]" when run through Jenkins

Hi, I am using file path from groovy script instead of hardcoding it in data sink output folder, since I have multiple environment and I can not hard code output file to avoid overwriting same file...

Error occurs even when I run Test in Ready API. Its clearly data sink step issue.

I am just feeding grovvy script result (which return file path based on env. selected) to data sink instead of hardcoded file path. When I debug groovy script step PASS but data sink fails.

Please see attached three screen shots to get clear idea of what I did and the error I am getting.

 

Appreciate any help to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

        Hi Tanya,

        I got following reply from "SmartBear Customer Care <customercare@smartbear.com>" :

         

        "Development has investigated this and opened defect RIA-10137 for this issue.  They have given the below workarounds.

         

         

        1. Move Groovy Script test step to another test case that should be executed before current test case.
        2. Create a custom property in the test case and set up value for it by Setup Script of a test case.

        In both cases need to update property expansion in a DataSink test step.
