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...
datasource
testRunner

    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

    These are great tips and have let me figure out how to come at this problem. Except when you cancel the TestRunner it stops running through to the next TestCase. 

     

    Test are step up as follows:

    Set Datasource Path (Groovy) 

    Datasource (csv file) 

    Set Endpoint (Groovy)

    Rest Request 

    Datasource Loop - goes to the next iteration of the csv file 

     

    To improve efficency we would like to select set one specific region and run through all of our tests from just that region.

      I moved this to the SoapUI Pro forum from the SoapUI Open Source forum because DataSource is a ReadyAPI only feature.

       

      Can somebody please help caz88?
