How to use method in separate groovy script within test case

My directory structure is something like as follows:   -testSuite --testCase ---model (groovy script) ---view (groovy script) ---login (soap request) ---logout (soap request)   Essentially -...

    For example, the following file is present at directory ../ReadyAPI-1.4.1/bin/scripts and we see how can this be accessed in two groovy script test steps in a project

     

    Vehicle.groovy

     

    class Vehicle {
   def name
   def yearMade
   def printModelDetails(log) {
      log.info "Vehicle is ${name}, made in ${yearMade}"
   }
}

    Model.groovy -- assume this is your groovy script test step

    import Vehicle

def vehicle = new Vehicle(name:'Merk', yearMade:1975)
vehicle.printModelDetails(log)
    //saving value of vehicle name at test case level property say VEHICLE_NAME
    context.testCase.setPropertyValue('VEHICLE_NAME', vehicle.name)

    View.groovy

    import Vehicle
//get the previously store value from test case property

    def vehicleName = context.testCase.getPropertyValue('VEHICLE_NAME')
def vehicle2 = new Vehicle(name:vehicleName)
    log.info vehicle2.name

     

    Note that all the common stuff to be present in the first groovy class that is placed in scripts directory.

Thanks Samy for your reply. I still do not understand how I would actually call method in a separate script.

 

In one script I have:

 

class Script1 {
        public String hello() { 
                //Edit the local soap requests
                //Send some soap requests
                //Do some other stuff
                return "a result from the requests"
        }
}

In a the second script I want to call the method in the first script. So something like:

 

log.info (Script1.hello())

    Do you mean to say that both model and view should interact with each other by calling others functions along with arguments?

      Yes that's correct.

       

      I have tried to do this using the script library by moving one of the scripts to the library. However I receive the following error at runtime:

       

      "BUG! exception in phase 'semantic analysis' in source unit 'Script14.groovy' The lookup for Model caused a failed compilation. There should not have been any compilation from this call.
