Hi Guys
How can I generate a string then I can use it for all steps in a test case? Please help me.
Forum Discussion
You can generate a random string in Setup Script of test case, save it as test case level custom property and use it all the steps of test case using Property Expansion.
See below link to
//Courtesy: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8138164/groovy-generate-random-string-from-given-character-set
def generator = { String alphabet, int n ->
new Random().with {
(1..n).collect { alphabet[ nextInt( alphabet.length() ) ] }.join()
}
}
//Provide the length of the string, here it generates 9 characters
def id = generator( (('A'..'Z')+('0'..'9')).join(), 9 )
//Save it into custom property
testCase.setPropertyValue('ID', id)
How to use above generated id in steps?
- If the step is of Groovy Script test step, then use below to get the id - context.expand('${#TestCase#ID}')
- If the step of Request type step, then use below - <elementId>${#TestCase#ID}</elementId>
I don't understand clearly at:
- Save it as test case level custom property
-
//Save it into custom property testCase.setPropertyValue('ID', id)If you have any screenshot, please show me or any example. Thank you very much!
Hi Tientran,
What nmrao suggested is to store the ID on test case level, this is useful when you have more then 1 test step using the property as an input/reference.
For more details on properties i would suggest reading:
