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...

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?

      Of course. It is possible.
      Like I said already, need to write a utility to do so using API

      Hi nmrao ,

       

      Thanks for the help. I understood it now. I can write scripts within ReadyAPI and then invoke it from setup/teardown as required. But you also mentioned some api to set setup and teardown. Can you please point me to the doc for that

      In case if you still need to load from your files as setup and teardown, then you can use below project(crated with the API I was talking about earlier and created project for ease of use instead of a script) and run it on command line as per the sample given

       

      https://github.com/nmrao/sample-soapui-projects/tree/master/addSetupTeardownScript

       

      All you need to do is pass the parameters and run the project which is provided. that will add setup and teardowns to your project. 

      Note that here your project path is passed as parameter value for PROJECT.
