How to use $ to populate variable inside another $expression
Hello,
I am trying to populate a variable value inside a $ Expression inside my groovyscript:
def currentStepInd = context.currentStepIndex; def previousStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepAt(currentStepInd - 2) def previousStepName = previousStep.name; def response = context.expand( '${$previousStepName#Response}' ); context.testCase.setPropertyValue("Response", response);
I would like to retrieve previousStepName string value and insert it inside the expand method before #Response but I'm not able to populate it inside the expression to get the context and property. I have tried a lot of things but did not succeed to pass my string teststep as parameter inside the $expression to retrieve context.
If you have any idea, it would be nice!
Regards
Try this:
def currentStepInd = context.currentStepIndex;
def previousStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepAt(currentStepInd - 2)
def previousStepName = previousStep.name;
def response = context.expand( '${' + previousStepName + '#Response}' );
context.testCase.setPropertyValue("Response", response);
