ReadyAPI 1.4.1 Inline Command is always executed

Hi   In Soapui I used to use this approach to create random user names. But it is not working as expected inside READY API.   Inside a SOAP request I have something like this:   <userName>User_...

    Hi Chimas,

     

    Our R&D team has found out that SoapUI and Ready! API work in the same way – a new value is generated each time they got access to userName.

    If the behavior is different in your case, could you please provide us with a sample project that demonstrates the differences between the products results?

    Jparel, I was informed that this behavior is related to the Groovy library update (2.1.7 for 5.1.2 and 2.4.4 for 1.5.0). Our team suggests that you update your groovy code to this:

    (int)(Math.random()*99999) + 10001

    Brackets must be around the code:

    Math.random()*99999

    Since Math.random() returns the pseudo random value from 0 till 1, when it casts to int it becomes 0! Therefore, you get 10001 every time.

Hi Tanya,

 

There is an issue with the behaviour from SoapUI Pro 5.1.2 to SoapUI NG Pro using Ready API 1.5.0 with regard to the math.random() function.  I have a composite project and have a property in the Test case level with the Value of ${=(int)Math.random()*99999+100001}

On SoapUI Pro 5.1.2, this is working as expected with every call creating a new value. On Ready API 1.5.0 the random function does not work at all. All the API call are set to 100001 rather than getting a random variable. Can your team please have another look at this issue please.

    Hi Jparel,

     

    I've reported this behavior to our R&D team so that they could test it. I'll post the news from them soon.
