Extending classes in Script Library

Hello,

 

There is a way to extend class from other file in script library?

 

For example I have 2 files: class1.groovy and class2.groovy. And inside class2.groovy I want to write class2 which will extend class1 from class1.groovy file.

 

It is possible?

    You can do every thing in groovy that you do in Java.

     

    I know you may use these classes in ReadyAPI-<version>/bin/script directory

    For eg:

    Person.groovy

     

    class Person {
  def firstname
  def lastname
  def age
}

    Student.groovy

     

    import Person

class Student extends Person {
   def class
   def department
}

    You may have both in scripts directory or you can use them in groovy step as well.

     

    Say, below is your groovy script test step which shows how to use above created classes.

     

    import Student
import Person

def person = new Person(firstname: 'John', lastname: 'Miller')
def student = new Student(firstname: 'Philips', lastname: 'Mark', class: 'B.S', department: 'Mathematics')

        Note that, you may have consider if you have packages along with it.
