Transferring a property within a "Run TestCase" step is successful but is not stored anywhere?

I've looked around the forums for similar issues but none of the answers seem to explain this exact case:   I have a TestCase "Mom" that has a TestStep that is a Run TestCase "Son". The original t...

    If the Son test case sets the property at the Son test case level, it's not going to set it at the Mom test case level no matter how you kick it off. You would need to write a groovy script, potentially, to transfer that property manually. You can put this as a groovy script test at the end of Mom test case, after the run Test case level.

     

     

    // set Target test case.
def mom = context.testCase;

// set Source test case;
def son = context.testCase.testSuite.testCases["Son"];

// transfer the property

mom.setPropertyValue("PropertyName", son.getPropertyValue("PropertyName"));

Are you trying to access that property within the MOM test case or the SON test case?

Hello,

 

I am trying to access the property from the MOM testcase.

    But was it being set in Son TestCase?

      Yes it was.

       

      So the structure looks like this...

       

      Son Test Case:

      - Request1 : Response contains value1

      - Property xfer value1 : source = value1 from response above, target = Son Test Case (in property = prop1)

      -Request2

       

      Mom Test Case:

      - Run Son Test Case

       

      So I'm wondering why when Mom triggers Son as a step here, why is Mom's property prop1 not populated with value1?

      Wouldn't the property transfer within the step "Run Son Test Case" store its value1 into the Test Case property (which would be Mom)?

       

      If there's a better way I could explain this, please let me know :)

    Are both Mom & Son in the same test suite? or in different suites?

      And yes, they are in the same test suite.

      The reason why I am not transferring them to the suite level is because I have multiple tests that would require this kind of transfer and I would like to keep them separate.
