    Hi,

     

    You could streamline this and not use setPropertyValue and getPropertyValue.  I frequently update the test request steps based on some conditional, but only use custom properties very, very rarely.

     

    From the original problem, you always run Step 3.  The only thing with Step 3 is what ID to use.  There's no need to disable step 3 or set custom properties.

     

    Personally, I would create a Groovy Script prior to Step 3 which only returns the ID you want in Step 3.  Nothing more, nothing less.  You've already worked out the ID in a Groovy script.  Simply return the ID.  In Step 3, do a 'get data' to obtain the result of the Groovy Script.

Hello,

Disregard my previous. I figured out that getProperty() will add to that field.

Issue I am facing now is in step 2 (AddPointType) since control goes to execute the AddPointType, the value which I am trying to retrieve from its response is null. (code highlighted below in bold and Italic)

How to get the value from response in same groovy script. Please suggest 

 

 

import static com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath.parse

def refPointTypeId = context.expand( '${GetPointTypes#Response#$[0][\'RefPointTypeId\']}' )
if (refPointTypeId == "" )
{
testRunner.gotoStepByName("AddPointType")
def refPointTypeIdNew = context.expand( '${AddPointType#Response#$[\'RefPointTypeId\']}' )
testRunner.testCase.testSteps["UpdatePointType"].setPropertyValue("pointTypeId",refPointTypeIdNew)
log.info(testRunner.testCase.testSteps["UpdatePointType"].getPropertyValue("pointTypeId"))
}
else{
testRunner.testCase.testSteps["UpdatePointType"].setPropertyValue("pointTypeId",refPointTypeId)
testRunner.gotoStepByName("UpdatePointType")
}

    How to return Id in groovy script which we can be used subsequently in Get Data.

      A Groovy script can be thought of as a function, so to return an id, it is simply...

      return idToUse;

      For example...

      def idToReturn;

if (testSomeValueInStepOne == true) {
    idToReturn= stepOneValue;
} else {
    idToReturn= stepTwoValue;
}

return idToReturn;

      Then simply use 'get data' in Step 3 to get the result from the script.

        In Get Data , for this field, observing there is script under Test Step Properties. But that does not list the value to select from script. (the return value returned from groovy script)

        I just selected script  but test case fails. Here entire groovy script is returned.

        How to make it select the value returned from Groovy script from Get Data?
