How To Shorten the Length of a String Parameter

hello juliobello 

richie pointed you in a good direction.  You can actually put full groovy script into the ${= } syntax...

Here is some groovy code that would work if it was in a groovy test step:

def tmpUUID = java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString();
tmpUUID = tmpUUID.replaceAll("-", "");
return tmpUUID;

You can compress that and use it in place of your current dynamic property...

Instead of:

${=java.util.UUID.randomUUID()}

Try:

${=def tmpUUID=java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString();tmpUUID=tmpUUID.replaceAll("-", "")}

Todd

Hi, Richie...

There is nothing "sacred" about the parameter format, other than the fact that it must be 35 characters or less.  It does not have to be a UUID.  It was the first "random string generator" I found.  A timestamp in milliseconds will suffice.

I am new to this "groovy" scripting language.  I am interested in knowing for my edification how to "substring" a string.

Where is the complete "groovy" scripting language library specification?

Thank-you!

Hi, Todd...

I did not know that one can actually put full groovy script into the ${= } syntax.

I already accepted Richie's response as a solution.  I don't know if I can also "accept" your solution.
