Is there a way I can input a specific value what will only run tests with that value

Hey Folks, 

 

I'm wanting to input a specific value before running my tests that will allow me to only run tests that have that specific value in the Datasource. 

 

Would I be able to do this in TestRunner under Global/System/Project Properties? Each test has multiple iterations I would want to skip the iterations that don't contain the variable that has been inputed. I imagine that this could be done with a Groovy script inserted into each step but I need to know what to specify the value to be ran. 

 

Many thanks!

    Hi Caz88,

     

    if I understand you correctly, your question is only, how you access the global properties from a groovyScript, right?

     

    If yes, the answer is as follows:

    def objGlobalProperties = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties;

//set the global property -> if the property does not exist then it will be created automatically
objGlobalProperties.setPropertyValue("globalPropertyName", "globalPropertyValue");

//get the global property 
def strValue = objGlobalProperties.getPropertyValue("globalPropertyName");

log.info("The value is:" + strValue);

     

    Best regards

      Hi meinTest 


      Thanks for the reply. 

       

      As a user I want to be able to specify which regions I want my tests to run in before I run the tests. If I set a global property the way you suggested will this me to prevent the other regions from running. 

       

      The locales are set in the DataSouce so I want to skip the tests that haven't been selected.

        Hi caz88 


                 I do not know how your project is constructed and how exactly you access your datasource but you
        can skip the execution of the testcases with the following approach:

         

        def objGlobalProperties = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties;

//set the global property -> if the property does not exist then it will be created automatically
objGlobalProperties.setPropertyValue("globalPropertyName", "globalPropertyValue");

//get the global property 
def strValue = objGlobalProperties.getPropertyValue("globalPropertyName");

//cancel testCase if value is not equal the dataSource value
if(strValue != "value from dataSource"){
	testRunner.cancel("skip testCase execution");
}

         

        Best regards
