Is it possible to use same object reference in two different groovy steps?

I am trying to use a reference of extent report created in one groovy step in another groovy step. Is there a way to store the reference temporarily (like properties) so that i can retrieve the refer...

Thanks for the response Rao !

 The data I want to access is object and not string type. In one step(say Step 1) I am initializing the report object and then running another step(say Step 2) from Step 1. I want the report object from step 1 to be somehow accessible in step 2.

 

One more thing, What if Step 1 and Step 2 are in different test suites?

Object is accessible only "the same context" i.e.,If you run the project, then it is possible to access the object in another script. If step1 and step2 are run separately, then you would get null.

    Hi Rao ! Let me share the script and rephrase the question based on your last response.

     

     

    // step1 in suite 1

     

    def extent = new ExtentReports(ResultExtentFileName,true)

    def logger=extent.startTest("Test1")
    logger.log(LogStatus.INFO,"Test1 Started !")

     

     

    desiredTestStep=testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.testSuites["MainSuite"].testCases["Test2"].testSteps["Step2"] desiredContext=new WsdlTestRunContext(desiredTestStep)

    WsdlTestCaseRunner desiredTestRunner = new WsdlTestCaseRunner(desiredTestCase, null);

     

    //step2- this is in suite 2 but i am running this from step 1 in suite 1
     status=desiredTestStep.run(desiredTestRunner,desiredContext)

     

    now I need the logger in step 2 being run by the statement above.

    Please note that step 1 and step 2 are in separate test suites. I am able to achieve this if both steps are in same test suite.

    Is it not possible if both steps are in separate test suites?

     

    Is there any way to achieve this?

      It is already answered in the last 2 replies. Possible only if all the suites are run in the same context.

      When the object is created, set it to context ie.,
      context.logger = logger

      In the later script, get it by:
      def logger = context.logger

      Disclaimer: You get null for the other instances if you run the scripts separately.

    Hi Prashanth,

     

    Did you figured the way to use the same object reference in two different groovy steps? If yes, could you please let me know how to achieve it.

      Have you gone thru the full reading of this thread? It has answer.

      If that did not help, then post what you are trying to achieve with details?

        Oops.. I missed it some how.. 

         

        I used context but in a wrong way.. Your example helped me to correct the mistake,

         

        Thanks Rao
