Yes, setup script at the test suite level is the one that suits your need.

Here is the script assuming that a COUNTER variable is being used in multiple test cases (one can have like ${#TestSuite#COUNTER} where required)


//first get the value of the property
def currentCounterValue = testSuite.getPropertyValue('COUNTER')
//increment value by one if already has some value otherwise set it to 0
def counter = (currentCounterValue)  ?  (currentCounterValue as int) : 0
counter++
testSuite.setPropertyValue('COUNTER', counter.toString())


Similarly you may use for date

    Hi nmrao

     

    How do you set a new property in Setup Script at TestSuite level ?

     say, I want to create a property "Counter"  at Test Suite level via groovy. How do we do that?

     

    I tried the following but it doesn't work.

    testRunner.testSuite.setPropertyValue("Counter", "" )

     

    Thanks,

    SuperSingh

      SuperSingh, Setup script will not work if you use testrunner. as this object is not supported.

      If you pay close attention to the UI it says "Setup Script is invoked with virtRunner, log,runner, context,testSuite variables"

       

      So try: runner.testSuite.setPropertyValue("Counter", "PropValue" ) or

                  testSuite.setPropertyValue("Counter", "PropValue" )

      It was already mentioned in my first reply, right? Have you tried that?
