Using partitial value in a request

I want to use partitial value in my request from a earlier response. I can use tranfer property or use get data but then I get the whole value and not a part what I need in my request.   As example...

    jsontester : You can use below code sample, it is the implementation what richie  has suggested you

     

    import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def response = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("TEST__STEP__NAME").getPropertyValue("Response")

slurperRes = new JsonSlurper().parseText(response)
def val = slurperRes.PATH__TO__VALUE

def desired_Val = val.take(8)
log.info desired_Val

Hey jsontester,

In your test you can save the value into a properties step, and use a groovy step to truncate the value you want using the split() method.

Im busy with work right now, but if someone doesnt beat me, i'll dig out the groovy to do this tonight.

Hi,

 

richie is right here.  Though, one suggestion would be to do away with the property transfer, it's not required.

 

Personally, I'd stick a groovy step in between the two test calls.  The Groovy step would be invoked by the second step.  The groovy can read the value from the first call, manipulate and return the manipulated value directly into the payload of the second test call.
