Cloning a TestStep adds a password? What the...?

Is it a bug? Is it a feature? I guess it's soapUI!   We discovered a pretty odd feature/bug/behavior of soapUI today: When cloning a TestStep (within the same TestSuite) we encountered the "interes...

    Ok. You need to locate the script with name "TestSuiteTestStepAdded.groovy" and remove "if" block.

     

    Actually, that was added to demonstrate that user credentials can be added when Request test step is added automatically, useful for those use credentials.

     

    You can remove it since it is not applicable.

Not sure what you are aiming at. I *have* indeed have enabled listeners and I have implemented/populated one of them (C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.2.1\bin\listeners\RequestBeforeSubmit.groovy) which always makes sure that a few HTTP-headers that we require for our tests are added to all requests. But - as I say - these are HTTP-headers. Here we are talking about test-step properties being set or added during cloning and SOAP Envelope header fields being added.

These two appear to me to be completely distinct and unrelated, or not?

Looks you got what I asked for. Are you using, soapUIExtension from github which I provided?

    Yes. I downloaded those extensions, installed them as described and added some HTTP header handling code to one of the files to inject a couple of HTTP-headers that we need for some of tests.

     

    But I am still failing to see, what these extensions have to do with these additional properties appearing or being modified while cloning a testsuite.

     

    Any idea or guess on that?

        OK - that of course explains things!

        I would have never found that myself, because I would never have searched in that direction!

         

        Would be nice if there were a word of warning in the extensions' description or better: if that piece of code would be removed or commented out, because this is really something that comes completely unexpected and can cause quite some headache.

         

        Thanks and regards,
