I've not found a way to set OS environment variable from a groovy test step. Tried this:
System.setProperty("prp_name", "value")
def prp = System.getProperties()
log.info prp["prp_name"]It only works within SoapUI, but when I check if such variable exists in CMD it does not return anything:
c:\>set prp_name Environment variable prp_name not defined
Hi,
I think System.setProperty only applies to setting properties within the scope of the VM rather than the O/S.
I saw this method of setting environment variables in the O/S from Java, so should working in Groovy via SoapUI:

If you set an environment (operating system) variable in a process, it will exist in that process and its child processes.
You can check that -- launch two cmd prompts and set a variabe in one of them. You won't be able to reach it in the other. But if you launch a child terminal, it will have the variable.
If you execute a process from within SoapUI, it will be a child process and thus will have the variable.
