    You need to use context.expand to do property expansions in scripts:

    context.expand('${#TestCase#TARGET_DB}'))

    or you can access test case properties as follows:

    context.testCase.getPropertyValue("TARGET_DB")
    context.testCase.properties["TARGET_DB"].value

     

    Alternatively it might be easier to use the XPath Match assertion instead of the Script assertion:

    XPath expression: //*:RequestNumber

    Expected result: ${#TestCase#TARGET_DB}

    @debanjan, these expressions should be used in place of "${TARGET_DB}", that is:

    if (nodeRequestNumber == context.expand('${#TestCase#TARGET_DB}'))

    or

    if (nodeRequestNumber == context.testCase.getPropertyValue("TARGET_DB"))

    or

    if (nodeRequestNumber == context.testCase.properties["TARGET_DB"].value)

HKosova Thanks for your suggestion. As you mentioned I did the following:

 

Case A:

Added this line to my script before comparison : context.expand('${#TestCase#TARGET_DB}')

 

But still the error comes as: No such property: TARGET_DB for class: Script8

 

Case B: 

Added these 2 lines to my script before comparison :

context.testCase.getPropertyValue("TARGET_DB")
context.testCase.properties["TARGET_DB"].value

 

But still the error comes as: No such property: TARGET_DB for class: Script9

 

Case C:

XPath Match assertion

 

Yes, it worked. 

A big thanks to you again.

 

But I will always like to know, why  the variable was not accessible from Script Assertion. My other assertions are still through Script Assertion.

    HKosova Thanks a ton for the suggestion & help.

    All the 3 of your suggestions worked well for Script Assertion.
