Pass header values to test steps
I want to pass the header values to each test steps like below using groovy script. Any help is appreciated. Test step 1 : Header1, value; Header2, value Test step 2: Header1, value; Header2, val...
Forum Discussion
There are multiple ways:
1. If the headers are fixed, define them at request level. In this approach, no scripting required.
2. The headers can be automatically added using Events feature. But, if the headers are not intended for all the requests, then it prefer #1. And this requires script.

Thanks nmrao. The token is not fixed. I have to generate the token and then if I can pass the token thru script
to all the test steps and then I can execute the test suite instead manually passing for each test step.
Is that possible using script....
I don't know if I may be misunderstanding you or not - so I might not be helping at all here.
Are you talking about passing a header value from a request's response to subsequent test steps? If this is the case then the following might help (unless I misunderstand).
@Bill_In_Irvine gave me the following to extract a header value and pass it to a Properties step (so cred goes to Bill for this - not me)
//Takes one of the elements of the response Header def value = testRunner.testCase.testSteps["REST request step name"].testRequest.response.responseHeaders["headername"] //Read this value into a parameter def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context ) groovyUtils.setPropertyValue("Properties", "headername",value[0])I then just added in a header parameter on each of the requests and sourced the value from the Properties file.
I hope this helps, but I'm not clear exactly about what you are asking,
cheers,

Thanks Richie. In my case , will generate the token outside, its kid of fixed remain for hrs. So, I'm looking for groovy to run before to pass the header values to all the test steps and then run the test steps.
- SK07,
Ok. What is the problem in generating the token? Or this is not your concern?
You do not have to pass it for each test step manually. That is what I was saying in earlier reply. Use Events feature / SubmitBefore; and add the logic to add the required data for each request. I am sure you should be able find some examples on internet or in this forum. - Here is some example, may be you can use part of it and modify it according to your need.
