Solution Script to Cleanup of Custom property values in the project

It is noticed that many were looking for a feature where users like to clean the custom property values. This eases to push the actual changes to repository (instead of just property values changes)....

    Hi,

    i found nmrao's solution fine.

    Arthur's solution is nice too.

    For now i prefer to use this simple solution in 'setup script' for example to clear testcase properties:

    context.testCase.properties.each {
context.testCase.properties[it.key].value = ''
}

    But Arthur's solution looks nice because we can delete all properties ending with a certain suffix.

    I need to work on these two solutions to avoid the repetition of my two lines in each testcase for example.

    But when we execute several times the same test, we overwrite properties right?

    It's not clearing but changes the same properties each time we execute.

    Thank you

Thank you.

 

Your idea, using some notation like regex, is nice.

However, like I mentioned(in the 2nd message), if the properties are dynamic, then there is no point even keeping the names in the project which will reduce some bytes of project file size.

 

Usually even keep the static properties in a separate file, this will allows to have data such as urls, db details of different environments and a small script in load script (project level) will load the properties when a project is opened. This allows to load different static values withouteven opening the project, and pass different propery file at command line.

And by the way, the "Save Script" is not something new. That is basic feature even available for years in SoapUI Open Souce as well.

 

So the above script works in SoapUI OS too.
