Example needed: How to use a ValueProvider plugin to provide a property value?

How about

 

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:

Thu Jul 15 11:49:07 CEST 2021:INFO:637.6823442157611
Thu Jul 15 11:49:07 CEST 2021:INFO:516.7372824953289

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
