    Hello @RaghavanG 

    maybe this code snippet can help (make sure to adjust line 1 to be whatever the name of your datasource is)...

    def row = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["Data Source 2xyz"].currentRow;

def testDataMap = [TC01:'Pass', TC02:'Fail', TC03:'Fail', TCNN:'Pass'];

if ( (row + 1) <= testDataMap.size() ) {
   result["TestCaseName"] = testDataMap.entrySet()[row].getKey();
   result["TestStatus"] = testDataMap.entrySet()[row].getValue();
};

    Regards,

    Todd

nmraoNo error now. But it is not showing any data in the preview set up and nothing is fetched in the next step.

Since you don't have any error now, it might be related to how the test case is created / configured. 

 I don't have the tool, so can't try it.

Can you please show the screen shot of your test case? Which I required for earlier too. 

I want to see the test steps involved and their types.

Hope you have at least 3 steps in the test case:

  1. Datasource
  2. Some other request step
  3. Datasource Loop (this points to step #2)

 

If not, please refer to the video links provided in one of the other responses in the post. 

The documentation link provided in previous responses point refer as below, may be give it a try though i don't think that makes difference.

change from:

def row = context.testCase.testSteps['Data Source'].currentRow

to

def row = testRunner.testCase.testSteps['Data Source'].currentRow

    Found a different way to store map items in excel via groovy script step and using the excel in DataSource to fetch them. It is working fine. but still curious to know what I m doing wrong. I have tried the changing it to testRunner still not working.

      Must be some configuration.

      What version of ReadyAPI are you using RaghavanG ?

      ChrisAdams / richie 

      Do you guys have any idea why the above script not behaving as desired?
