context.randomNumber
If you are testing in groovy script, the above should work.
great news. This definitely works:
log.info(context.randomNumber)
log.info(context.randomNumber)
log.info(context.randomNumber)
log.info(context.randomNumber)
log.info(context.randomNumber)
and the output is:

But this is not yet what I'd like to see: I'd like to assign the "randomNumber" value provided as the value of a "left-hand-side" property, e.g. at test case or test suite or even global level.
Of course, I can always achieve this by writing custom Groovy code that does this assignment, such as
testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue("randomNumberProvided", context.randomNumber)
but this would obviously require an additional test step in any test case that would like to use the value from the value provider.
So I am assuming that there MUST be an easier way to do this by typical SoapUI expansible property notation?
Many thanks one more time!
Best regards
Andreas
Heureka - it seems to work now! 😀
Would you like to use randomNumber in test request such as SOAP or REST?
say <id><randomNumber></id>
There are other options such
<id>${= System.currentTimeMillis()}</id>
or
<id>${= java.util.UUID.randomUUID().text()}</id>
Please see if the above approach works in your case.
Hi again,

no - my goal for the plugin is even (much) more complex: I want to use a named ValueProvider but in addition, pass parameters to a concrete usage of this ValueProvider, such as
Value Provider Name ("valueName") == "vaultSecret"
and then use it like
${vaultSecret#some_path_within_a_Vault_instance_representing_a_secret_value}Do you happen to know whether it's possible to pass such a property parameter value ("some_path_within_a_Vault_instance_representing_a_secret_value") into the ValueProvider class, i.e. can I access it using the PropertyExpansionContext that is passed to my
public String getValue(PropertyExpansionContext propertyExpansionContext) { (...) }method?
Thanks a million one more time for your kind help! 👍
awl
Thank you for the details.
Somewhere it still not hit my brain, the final use case. But your use case seems to be interesting.
If I understand it better, probably can try something.
These are some other uses found for DataProviders found in the source, Not sure if that is of any help to you.
