Hi derbestebaer,

 

If you are adding event at TestSuite Leve then write:

 

testRunner.testSuite.setPropertyValue("Time", "test")

Hope this will work for you.

    Hello HimanshuTayal

     

    You said "If you are adding event at TestSuite Leve then write."

     

    As far as I know the Events (menu at the upper right) are global and i can not specify, that i want to add an event for the TestSuite Level.

     

    We tried to add your line there with different triggers, but nothing happens. So my question still remains, how to i set this Variable though the Events :

      derbestebaer, I've been able to set a test suite property from the TestRunListener.beforeStep event handler. As a stand-alone example, I did the following:

       

      1) Created a new test suite

      2) Added a test suite custom property called "tsProp"

      3) Added a TestRunListener.beforeStep event handler with the following script (lots of log statements to aid debugging):

      def stepName = testStep.getName()
log.info('TestRunListener.beforeStep: About to run test step ' + stepName)

def existingValue = testStep.getTestCase().getTestSuite().getPropertyValue('tsProp')
log.info('TestRunListener.beforeStep: Existing value of tsProp = ' + existingValue)

// Set the test suite property
testStep.getTestCase().getTestSuite().setPropertyValue('tsProp', stepName)

log.info('TestRunListener.beforeStep: set tsProp = ' + stepName)

      4) Added a new test case.

       

      5) Added 5 Groovy Test Steps to the test case all with the identical script just to display the current value of the test suite property:

      def tsProp = context.expand( '${#TestSuite#tsProp}' )
log.info('Groovy Script Test Step: tsProp = ' + tsProp)

      On running the test case I got the following log output (the test suite property was blank when I ran the test case):

      Compare my scripts to yours and see how you get on.

        Hello Radford,

         

        Thank you very much. That helped me a lot. I managed to set the Testsuit variable via an event Script.

         

        Two points are still missing for me:

         

        1. For our testing, we use soap ui in a way, in which we run every Teststep manually. Since you already used the event "TestRunListener.beforeStep " i expected that the event would also be triggered, if i run a teststep (SendSyncData) manually, but it seems, that the Testsuitvariable tsProp gets only written, when i run the whole Testsuite. I tried different events i.e. LoadTestRunListen.beforeTestStep but i dont get the event triggered by running the TestStep only.

         

        2. Where can i find the outputconsole from ´your logfile bellow? If i add a groovy script i can see a console but this console is only for the current teststep. If i rightclick on the Testsuit and select "Groovy Console" i dont get any output there.

         

        Thank you very much in advance.
