    Hi,

     

    With the specific approach you have taken I am uncertain what syntax to use at this point. However, I would normally do what you hopefully want a slightly different way using the context map to hold your custom map:

    def serverSessionIdVal = "${java.util.UUID.randomUUID()}";
def clientSessionIdVal = "${java.util.UUID.randomUUID()}";
vars = [:]
vars["sid"] = serverSessionIdVal
vars["cid"] = clientSessionIdVal
context.vars=vars
return vars

    Then you can access the map values in a request with the following syntax:

    ${=vars.cid}

    and

    ${=vars.sid}

    Regards,
    Rupert

    TerryHe, note that you need to execute the test case in order to make this work. If you run groovy script, and rest request separately, then it won't work.
