Hi Karel, thanks for your reply. I tried using groovy script and I am getting this error- groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: java for class: Script4
error at line: 7

 

Scrpit:

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

//def loopProperties = testRunner.runTestStepByName("REST Request")

//def count =Integer.parseInt (testRunner.testCase.testSuite.getPropertyValue( "availableEvStationCount" ))

def availableEvStationCount= testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue( java.lang.string("availableEvStationCount") )
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("availableEvStationCount", "availableEvStationCount" )
//Integer count = scount as Integer
if (availableEvStationCount<2)
{
Thread.sleep(5000)
} else {

testRunner.runTestStepByName("REST Request")
}

 

Could you please help.

LK,

you can:

  1. call your API
  2. save the result into a property
  3. execute the Groovy script

See the screenshot below.

 

 

In the Groovy script, I would suggest utilizing testRunner.gotoStepByName( "RESTRequest"):

 

// The result is saved in a property value as string, transform into an integer
def result = Integer.parseInt(testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("result"))

if (result < 50) {
  sleep(1000)
  testRunner.gotoStepByName("RESTRequest")
}

 

If the result is 50 or higher, the loop is finished, and your test case continues.

 

Best regards,

Karel
