Test case run fails if Properties were set in test step

Dear all,   I'm facing one issue with Properties values.   There're two properties that I'm using for iterations. If I set the value manually before the run - test case goes smoothly. I added sm...

Can you please show your script?

Hi Rao,


Sure, here's the script that erases values of properties in the test case:



stopp = propTestStep.getPropertyValue("Stop")

 if (stopp == "T"){
   def p = myTestCase.testSteps["Properties"]
   String[] properties = new String[p.getPropertyCount()]
   properties = p.getPropertyNames()

   for (int i=0; i<properties.size();i++){
         p.setPropertyValue(properties[i], "")
       }

   propTestStep.setPropertyValue("Count", "1")
   propTestStep.setPropertyValue("keyValue", "1")
   }

    Which line of the script causing the issue? Stack trace from error log, please?
    Seems ok, can be optimized though.

    Are you sure of which proprties are casing the Cast errors? The reason I ask is that you mention that the two properties:

     

    • Count
    • keyValue

    Were used for iterations, but the cast errors are when attempting to convert a string to Boolean. I also notice that you have a property which you are checking if equal to "T" (which I assume means "True"). Perhaps rather than blanking all properties, maybe some should be set to true or false (or "T"/"F") depending on your use case.

      That part of the code i.e., if (stopp == "T") is ok. Because, when property value is read, though value is true or false, it is a string only.

        nmrao, sorry, seem to be crossing over posts again, we must of been replying at the same time...

         

        My questions was really in response to seeing the error:

         

        "java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Boolean"

         

        From what I can see, the script shown can not throw this error, so my thinking was that the error originates somewhere else, I was guessing that some other bit of code was trying to convert a string to a boolean value. Sorry if that didn't come across.

    Akuratere,

    May be see if the below one helps.

     

    propTestStep = context.testCase.testSteps['Properties']
//Clear all the property values if Stop property value is T and do not clear its value
def result = ("T" != propTestStep.properties['Stop']?.value) ?: propTestStep.propertyNames.findAll { it != 'Stop'}.collect{ propTestStep.setPropertyValue(it, '');it}
log.info "Cleared values for properties $result"

      Here is another variation. Below uses closure to remove properties and user can still pass the condition(as closure) dynamically while calling.

      You do not see literally any IF condition

       

       

      def propTestStep = context.testCase.testSteps['Properties']
def clearPropertyValues = { closure -> 
	propTestStep
		.propertyNames
		.findAll( closure )
		.collect{ propTestStep.setPropertyValue(it, '');it}
}
//Clear all the property values if Stop property value is T and do not clear its value and passing conditions as closure
log.info "Cleared values for properties ${clearPropertyValues{ it != 'Stop' && 'T' == propTestStep.getPropertyValue('Stop')}}"
