<SOLVED>Setting Datasource Type with Groovy

Hi,

Is there anyway to set the datasource type with groovy? It seems to be a read-only property as indicated when I try to run this

testRunner.testCase.testSteps["companies"].dataSource.type="Excel"

This particular datasource step may possibly be modified by the user (Start and End Row) and I notice if you choose another datasource type inadvertently all the properties, filename,etc are blanked out. Since I'm passing this script onto another person, I wanted them not to have to worry about resetting the datasource configuration. I figured out how to put the filename and properties back, but not the datasource type.

Thanks,

Mary

    Hello,

    This field is read only indeed. Try the following:

    testRunner.testCase.testSteps["companies"].modelItem.dataSource = "Excel"

    Hope this helps. This won't affect editor, so if it is open it won't be updated with new type.
    To refresh it you need to close it and open again.
