Groovy Test Step not running while integrated into Jenkins.

I developed my test suites on Windows Ready API! 1.4.1 and use SVN to place those test suites in a repository. I configured the pom.xml so that the test suite is running but there are Groovy Test Ste...

    I mean try with the changes as modifed in below script (earlier suggested to use context in place of testRunner, not sure though why Jenkins unable to determine context while soapUI can work fine)

     

    //Get existing value
def count = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.properties['createAccountCount'].value as int
//Set the next value and put it back to project property
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.properties['createAccountCount'].value = (count+1).toString()

OK, here is the groovy test step:

 

def createAccountCount = context.expand( '${#Project#createAccountCount}' );
log.info("The current createAccountCount = " + createAccountCount + "\nWill be incremented.");
return ++createAccountCount;

Once the variable createAccountCount is incremented, it is transferred back to the Project property "createAccountCount" and used to create a new account user name in a POST to a service.

  • You do not need to have return in groovy script
  • Instead, need to set it back, so that updated value can be used later.
  • I believe, this should never worked, not just in jenkins like you mentioned.

Modified script for the requested.

//Get existing value
def count = context.testCase.testSuite.project.properties['createAccountCount'].value as int
//Set the next value and put it back to project property
context.testCase.testSuite.project.properties['createAccountCount'].value = (count+1).toString()

    OK, Thank you. I see how that was much better than what I was doing. But after placing that in a Jenkins environment, it still doesn't increment that property from the groovy script.

      I suggest you to run the test case from soapui or testrunner before going for jenkins.
      Appreciate if you can attach logs if it is still not working.
      Are you also logging the request as well?

        Logging the request and response would be helpful indeed. I've searched for how to do that in the forums but could not find it. Would you show me how to do that?

         

        Thanks!
