use property value in URL endpoint

Hi,

 

I am pretty new to ReadAPI. However I have got some question. I would like to use custom property in the URL.

 

I have created a custom property on Project level. Now I want to use the property in the end point.

I have tried this, 

 

but I get an http://null (see attached screenshot). 

 

What am I doing wrong? And how to correct this?

 

Thanks,

Mathijs

    I think your property expansion needs to be:

     

    ${#Project#server}

     

    You don't reference a project by name, it is more like a property specified by this project. See the following page for more details:

    As an aside, if you are using project properties to change server names, have you investigated the Environments functionality. This will allow you to easily configure Ready API to switch between a different set of end points, DB connections,etc. eg, Dev, SAT, UAT.
