Dynamic (Unique) property variable in XML Request

Hi Jim,

try adding the following to your TestCases Setup script:

context.randomId = Math.random()

And then "use" the randomId variable in a request with

${randomId}

Hope this helps!

Thanks Ole,

I can't seem to get this to work.

I added the context.randomId = Math.random() to the Test Case setup

and set the XML request like so, ${randomId}

I've tried ${randomId} and ${#TestCase#randomId}. The property expansion is not happening. soapUI sends whatever I put in the UniqueToken holder.

I tried added a def before the context.randomId = Math.random(), and creating the def other ways, but can't get the property expansion to work.

I've also tried creating a UniqueToken groovy script containing the context.randomID function and using the result ni the XML request like so,
${#UniqueToken#randomId}

What am I missing? I can't help but think it's something simple.

Hi!

this solution will only work when you run the entire TestCase, not just an isolated Request inside it.. could that be the cause of your problem?

I've gotten the context.randomId = Math.random() to  return a value from a Groovy script Test Step, then Transfer the value (using a Property Transfer Test Step) to the final Test Step (Interactive Read ).

I just haven't had any luck defining the Math.random() function in the Test Case Setup Script and having the Property Expansion work properly in the XML Request.

It's probably a Scope or Syntax problem on my part. I'm still learning my way around soapUI. I'll keep poking around.

Thanks much for the assistance & very nice work on soapUI. I've convinced my group to switch from soapScope and buy a few copies of soapUI. I expect to get lots time on it in the future.

Have a good day!

Hi Jim,

ok, sounds good! Contact me once you have the pro-licenses and we can set up a webex session to sort this out (if you want)..

Excellent! Will do.

Hi Ole,

I got our SoapUI Pro licenses yesterday. I will put together a brief description of our Web App and some of the things I want to do and email it to you.

Our Web App is not very complex and I think we can work out a lot of what I want to do with emails. If I cannot work things out after a few emails, we can go the Webex route.

Thanks much,
