Reload properties from externalfile automatically

Hello all,

 

I'm doing some functionnal test using SoapUi. For some tests I need some properties which change dynamically. In order to update them on each test, a small program write an external properties file on my hardDisk with the new values. Then on soapUi properties test step, I load it using "Reload the current properties from the selected file" button.

 

My question is is there a way to automatically run the reload function, each time I start the testCases, before running the soap/rest requests?

 

Regards.

  • You should be able to load the properties from file using groovy script.

    Below script will load the properties at test case level.

     

    def props = new Properties()
    //replace the path with your file name below
    new File("/absolute/path/of/test.properties").withInputStream { s ->
      props.load(s) 
    }
    props.each {
    	context.testCase.setPropertyValue(it.key, it.value)
    }
