Hi all,   Am new to ReadyAPI and just trying to get head around groovy scripting.    I have a lot of duplication in my test suites - mostly on setup/tear down methods and would like to be able to...

    Hi davebeattie ,

    I think it's worth doing a script, your script is too simple for that. It consists mainly of variable declarations. Have you considered the possibility to reuse a test case in another test case? In ReadyAPI exist a test step that is called run test case. I have already used it, but not to read out a file.

     

    What I can also recommend to you is to deal with the events and event handlers. With events it is possible to manage code centrally and use it in many or all test cases.

giovanni_favara : Yes you can use the Setup script to do this task but also what you can do is :

 

1. create one Test Suite with the name of Test Configuration and under that

2. Create a Test Case named Configuration script and uder that

3. Create one Groovy Test Step which will contain your groovy code to setup these configuration file.

 

Refer my attached sample project for the same.
