How to modify testStepResult?

Hi, I use log processing script (as TestSuite tear down script) used for a lot of our projects. It gets information (like request URL) from testStepResult. But I need to add more information unique...

    Hi Tanya,

    thanks for quick reply!

     

    I chose following solution: I used event listener TestRunListener.afterStep and inside it after each step append needed information into TestSuite property, then in test suite TearDown script wrote it to needed file.

     

    1) TestSuite`s Setup Script:

    To clean data from previous run.

    testSuite.getTestCaseByName("testCaseName").setPropertyValue("logFile", "")

    2) Event Listener

    Name: TestRunListener.afterStep

    Event: TestRunListener.afterStep

    Target: Rest request (inside testCaseName test case)

    if ( "FAILED".equals( testStepResult.getStatus().toString() ) ){
   def URL = testStepResult.getMessageExchanges()[0].getProperty("URL")
	
   def parameter1 = context.expand( '${DataSource#<SOME_PARAMETER1>}' )
   def parameter2 = context.expand( '${DataSource#<SOME_PARAMETER2>}' )

def logFile = testRunner.getTestCase().getProperty("logFile").getValue() + URL 
+ " " + parameter1 + " " + parameter2 + "\n"
	testRunner.getTestCase().setPropertyValue("logFile", logFile)
}

     

    3) TestSuite`s TearDown Script:

    File reportFile = new File("report.txt")
	
def logFile = testSuite.getTestCaseByName("testCaseName").getProperty("logFile").getValue()
reportFile.write(logFile , "utf-8")

Hi Chmelvv,

 

 

As far as I know, it's impossible to add data to testStepResults. You can only read information from it.

 

I suggest that you write the data you need to an external file during the test execution. At the end of the test, your parser can read information from the file.

      While deep learning Java I  found another solution, but it risky because you can modify testStepResult as much as you can and possibly lost test consistency.  Solution is Java Reflection API in general, but I use version from apache commons library:

       

      In Events window:

       

      import static org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.FieldUtils.writeDeclaredField;

writeDeclaredField(testStepResult, "messages", ["Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!"], true);
log.info testStepResult.getMessages()[0]

      Code modify private field  "messages" with List<String> type in testStepResult object.

       

      Output:

      <...> :INFO:Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!
