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...

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.
