Mongo Context varibale - Is it possible to use it throughout the test suite

Greetings, While working with MondoDB using gmongo (groovy wrapper), we open connection using mongoDB context, something like this: def mongoClient = new MongoClient( new ServerAddress(dbServer), A...

    You can set context variables in Project or TestSuite setup scripts which will then be accessible by anything under it. While I have not used this for database connections, I have stored other variables this way.

     

    A word of warning! If for example a test case relies on something defined in a project setup script, you will always have to run from the project level. I ran into problems of not just being able to run a single test case. Now I always try to make my test cases self contained.

Hello Radform, thanks a lot for the reply. could you please provide me some syntax of using context in setup script.

How to set it and how to get it.

Thanks again

Take a look at this page:

 

http://readyapi.smartbear.com/soapui/scripts/scripts

 

It has an example of storing a JDBC connection in the context which was created in a setup script. While this eaxmple is using a test case setup script, you should be able to do the same at the test suite or project level (Though as I mentioned before do consider how you want to run the tests).

        Just happened to answer similar question below on Stackoverflow. But uses different approach.

        http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42993841/create-a-mongo-connection-and-make-it-alive-for-execution-of-an-entire-test-suit/42995370#42995370

        What is the difference in approach?
        The documentation link provided by Radford uses "context". In this case, connection will be established only if it is in the same context.

        For example, the script is in Setup Script of test suite and executed just that script without running test suite. And user later run the test case where try to get connection from context which will be null. And the same null problem comes if different test cases being executed different times (i.e., not all together).

        But the approach I took gets the connection even if different test cases execute at different times as am not keeping connection in the context, instead extending testSuite class and adding that connection object/method dynamically using groovy's feature.
        Hope this is helpful.
