Set data source end row with property

I would like to set the "end row" of a "data source" using a property ("cycles" for instance) instead of a fixed value. This way I could create a loop of "n" cycles depending of the value I give to t...

    ... and an example of setting the end row via Groovy:

     

    // Example run from Groovy Script test step

def dataSourceTestStep = testRunner.getTestCase().getTestStepByName("DataSource")

dataSourceTestStep.setEndRow("5")

    Note: The data source test step is the class WsdlDataSourceTestStep.

Property expansion is supported for end row. You should be able to create a property to store the end row number and a groovy script to update the end row as needed.

Hi jsheph01 

Thanks for answering.

Could you give some example of how to use that property expansion and how groovy could help on updating the end row? just a very simple example should be very helpfull. Or, maybe you know a place in the internet where I could have a look?

Thanks and regards,

Joaquin.

      Radford  Thanks a lot for your answer!

      And, do you know how to set "DataSource - Number of Rows" property from groovy?

      Thant would also be great to have.

      Regards,

      Joaquin.

        looking at the methods on the 'WsdlDataSourceTestStep' page Radford mentioned, there are a lot less set methods than get methods.

         

        There doesn't appear to be anything equivalent to "set number of rows" - but there is a setStartRow() method -  could you not use this in conjunction with the setEndRow() to set the "number of rows"?  I could be totally wrong - I'm new to all this "look at the API docs to work out the method you need thingy"

         

        ta,
