how do I access value from query in Groovy script

How do I get value from the query in the Groovy script?    I can get the values from the Response by using for example:   def driverId = context.expand('${userInfo#Response#$id}')     However,...
REST
Scripting

     Thank you, KarelHusa, 

     

    I tried the #testcase#todate solution, didn't quite work for me. However, I discovered a custom properties tab where I can access the values I was looking for without adding too much work for myself.   My Groovy script will use the line of code context.expand to access those values using  #testStep#propertyname. Thank you for pointing me in the direction of looking for information.

I would recommend to place the value (2022-02-01) into a TestCase property or some other variable which you can easilly access.

Then you can:

  • use its value inside REST Request as e.g. ${#TestCase#toDate}
  • inside Groovy script as well (via context expansion or TestCase Java methods)

Using SoapUI Java API from Groovy to reach the query parameter would be also an option, but probably harder to use and maintain.

 

Best regards,

Karel
