Hey wiseAcre
the groovy experts are better placed to answer this than me, but I'll give it a go.
your script is as follows:
def ReferenceID = context.expand ('${#TestCase#ReferenceID}');
ReferenceID = ReferenceID.toInteger() + 1;
if (ReferenceID < 990000) {
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue('${TestCase#ReferenceID}'); //LINE 5 Error
log.infor "ReferenceID" + ReferenceID;
testRunner.gotoStepByName("ReferenceID")
}
so looking at your script, youre storing the ReferenceID variable as a TestCase property entitled ReferenceID
Then you're casting the ReferenceID to integer and adding a 1 and naming that variable as 'ReferenceID' as well
Then you're saying - if the updated 'ReferenceID' variable value is < 990000, then you want to set the TestCase property as the previously updated ReferenceID - is that right?
also - after the log.info line -you have a testRunner.gottoStepByName ("ReferenceID") - does this mean you've also got a teststep called ReferenceID? Don't really understand what you intend to do here
this is a bit confusing - I tend to separate my names as much as possible rather than re-use as this has caused me problems in the past
also - another point - setProperty syntax typically requires two values - e.g. setProperty("attributeName", attribute)
I haven't got an machine to debug at moment and I'm kinda guessing about what you need but try something like the following:
def ReferenceID = context.expand ('${#TestCase#ReferenceID}');
ReferenceID_incremented = ReferenceID.toInteger() + 1;
if (ReferenceID_incremented < 990000) {
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("RefID_increment", ReferenceID_incremented);
log.info "RefID_increment"
}
try the above and see what you think - bit unsure if you need to cast the integer back to string - but it depends on what you want to do
If you can explain exactly what you want to do cos I didn't really understand the gotoStepByName command in relation to your description - that would help too

Rich,
Thank you for your response, the script below works in the Groovy editor, will update if/when I confirm it is incrementing the xml payload parameter.
Credit for this solution goes to Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55167067/soapui-how-to-increase-value-by-1-in-property-transfer-target
// THIS WORKS INCREMENTING IN THE TEXT EDITOR
def ReferenceID = testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("ReferenceID");
ReferenceID = ReferenceID.toInteger() + 1;
if (ReferenceID < 990000) {
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("ReferenceID", ReferenceID.toString());
}
log.info context.expand ('${#TestCase#ReferenceID}')

PS. I changed the name of the question to reflect the solution.
Return of the MissingMethodException: This was the title of the initial post, but the problem / issue is Auto-incrementing a parameter in an xml payload. Here is working code for the Groovy editor, new to this script is addition of the XMLHolder library to update xml files:
import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder //assists transfer'g values to payload
def ReferenceID = testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("ReferenceID");
ReferenceID = ReferenceID.toInteger() + 1;
if (ReferenceID < 990000) {
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("ReferenceID", ReferenceID.toString());
}
log.info context.expand ('${#TestCase#ReferenceID}')
// Create script to update the XML payload and auto-increment it for the next req
def RefID = testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("ReferenceId"); // Create object for incrementing payload value
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("RefID", ${RefID.toInteger() + 1}); // NOW GETTING A 'MISSING METHOD EXCEPTION' error here
def xmlAdd = new XmlHolder(RefID) //Create object for xmlHolder class
xmlAdd.setNodeValue("//std:FSMSHeader/std:ReferenceId",RefID); // xpath to target param
def newAddXml = xmlAdd.getXml(); // Update the param
// Update the Custom Properties Values for the next request
testRunner.testCase["<myTestCase>"].testSteps["add"].setPropertyValue("ReferenceId",newAddXml)
Any advice on how to clear the Missing Method Exception Above?
Also, obviously the payload.xml file has been updated as follows:
<v1:ReferenceId>${#TestCase#ReferenceID}</v1:ReferenceId>
Hey wiseAcre
It seems like this is getting waaaaaaaaaay more complicated than it needs to be. Are you using ReadyAPI! or SoapUI?
You don't really need the tail end of the script - once you've incremented the RefID value, can't you just use the GetData function to do the work for you of picking up the incremented value?
Don't understand
Can you just explain (again) your use case - forgive me - but from what I understand, you just need to increment an existing ref id for a subsequent request which doesnt need anywhere near all that groovy - you just need a little bit.
So can you just explain from scratch exactly what you want to do.
i.e. is the ReferenceID generated from the testcase's previous response or is it hardcoded to a TestCase property at the start?
are you passing this incremented ReferenceId to another teststep within the same testcase OR do you need this incremented RefId for a teststep in another testcase?
Can you just describe the teststep hierarchy you have in your testcases at the moment (list what test steps you have in your testcase and the sequence of the steps)?
Sorry - I need to go back to basics to make sure I'm not misunderstanding. I'm pretty literal with no imagination so I need to make sure I really understand what you need before I can fix your groovy/come up with an approach where you dont need too much groovy.
nice one,
Rich
