    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)

    Hi MaximStanovov Thanks for your suggestion. As you suggested. I have done the following:

     

    1. Added a TestStep by the name Property List and a Property "databaseName" with in.

    2. Added a Groovy Script by the name "Groovy Property" and added the following code:

     

    String testString = ${TARGET_DB}
    testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "databaseName", testString )
    def getLocalPropValue = testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue("databaseName")
    log.info(getLocalPropValue)

    testRunner.testCase.testSteps["Properties"].setPropertyValue( "databaseName", testString )

     

    I have observed when I pass a simple string initially e.g "abcde" the Groovy sets the value of Property "databaseName" to "abcde". But when ever I pass the following it gives me an error as follows:

     

    1. '${#TestCase#TARGET_DB}'   Then I can see that the Groovy gives me a similar output as ${#TestCase#TARGET_DB}

     

    Even now I can see the "databaseName" property is being set to ${#TestCase#TARGET_DB}

     

    Now, I have modified my Script Assertion as follows:

    context.testCase.getPropertyValue("TARGET_DB")
    context.testCase.properties["TARGET_DB"].value
    if(nodeRequestNumber=='${TARGET_DB}')
    { log.info "Pass" }
    else
    { log.info "Fail"}

     

     

    The result I am getting is still Fail. As the Assertion is in a for loop so I am not getting any error though but log message says Fail.

     

    Any more suggestion please?
