Is it possible to use contents from a file within setup/teardown

I have a testsuite where I need to do a setup and teardown for each of the testcases. Currently I have the same code copy pasted in all the tests. But from a maintenance point of view this is not sca...

Possible.
Another way is to use events, however, need to see what the script is doing as certain objects might or might not be available in that context. Would you please show what the scripts are doing?

Please take a look at the events page, "List of events"

    Hi nmrao ,

     

    I am trying to do auto reporting to Xray as when tests get executed. So before the test runs I add them to an execution as shown below

     

    def execution_id = testCase.testSuite.project.getPropertyValue( "execution_id" )
def test_id = testCase.getLabel().split('_')[0]
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("batch script to invoke xray api")
Process process = pb.start()
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()))
def serr = null
while ((serr = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
log.info(serr)
}

    Thanks for pointing me to the events page. But I also would like to know how to load external files within setup/teardown

      If it is event then you will need to copy the script only once.

        Hi nmrao ,

         

        Using the events did the job for me. But I would still like an option where I can source external files from within the setup/teardown section. Is that possible?

      There is api to set to setup and teardown scripts. Even this you might need ony once if the tests are ready.
