[Res]how to add property into header

I have created a property that is dynamically updated with a token (via groovy script)
Now I need to bring the content of the property into my header.
I found a page in the documentation that says this is possible
http://www.soapui.org/SOAP-and-WSDL/add ... tp-headers
and a page showing me how to do this:
http://www.soapui.org/Scripting-Propert ... nsion.html

But when I tried to construct the actual text from the instructions - I cant get it to work.
Here is what the documentation has me follow:
${[scope]propertyName[#xpath-expression]}

The scope is going to be my suite case (at the suite level is where I created my property)
the property name is token
I dont think there is an xpath for the property

can someone tell me what I should put in the header to get this to work?
Thanks
Smadar

    Hi,

    You can set the header since you have the value, you can save it on testSuite level and try this code,

    import com.eviware.soapui.support.types.StringToStringMap

    def request = context.testCase.testSteps["Test Request"].testRequest
    def headers = request.getRequestHeaders()

    headers["TestHeader"] = //add your property value here

    request.setRequestHeaders(new StringToStringMap(headers))


    Thanks,

    It should be pretty straightforward; I'm wondering if you've formatted your property expansion correctly.

    Say I have a TestSuite level property named tokenA that I want to use as the token. So my header setup would look like this, with the property expansion formatted like ${#TestSuite#tokenA}:


    I think that should work.

    I'm glad I could help. I remember the documentation being a bit confusing when I was trying to learn how property transfers work. Happy testing!
